How tight is the radius? You could run it in situ. Mike adams would be the man to advise you on that

You've just huffed Ryan....lol

 

[Jurek]

just use polystyrene

 

[Jurek]

sorry. polyurethane. with the paper backing and lightweight. sticks up with adhesive you can get from toolstation for a handful of beans. looks good if done right. i hate coving

Kent ,mike:RpS_biggrin:

 

[mikeadams1985]

Does she specifically want plaster?

If so I'd go to a professional company in Kent and get a spin made.

ave used it a few times for a builder, its alreet to use, but the profile is smaller if your trying to piece into the gyproc 127

 

[Jurek]

:huh:

you can bend it by heating the back of it with a blow torch from a distance of two or three inches. it makes it pliable

 

[Arti]

i prefer pliant

 

[cassie]

127mm cove... try cutting partly through the back and it will bend , depends how tight the curve is mate...

 

[Jurek]

i prefer pliant

its the same thing. just semantics

 

[Jurek]

both mean easily bent

Sorry caddie thought it was a wind up

Ok take a profile , and a template of the curve , then run a reverse mould ,
Take a cast and then fit

Ha ha you really do think your better than everyone else don't you ? Its standard coving you clown.

 

[jesssop]

ha ha i love calling people a clown :RpS_thumbup:

 

[cassie]

yeh, that would be the way, but think its just gyproc cove, it will bend nicely if the curve isnt that severe... a lot less work involved aswell...
