Run cornice in-situ

[Mouldyoldspudgun]

I bet they don't skip any molds they make.

I bet they don’t either, just charge the next one two hundred and fifty quid for a “new mould” cheeky buggers

They do !

 

[essexandy]

They do !

Then they're a strange bunch. Most workshops have stacks of previous molds.

I’m not sure about the plastic, if it gets scuffed you would get a line in the run. I suppose it could be ok for a cove or an s shape cornice, but if it was a Victorian straight run with a bit of detail say a drip member zinc or tin would be a lot better and you would get a better finish on the Cornice and keep the details sharp.

 

[pftmonojetman]

Also think if you used it as a muffle the plastic would chip when you knocked the casting plaster off the mould.

I can cut and design plastic templates no problem at all

No it would start to wear away as the plaster hardened as you run it thru, even the thickness of a fag paper every time , it would just build up, and I wouldn’t get a sharp finish

Good point mate

Because it needs to cut the surplus off without dragging. A bit like how a sharp feather edge is better for ruling off S&C.

Ah I see... never done any fibrous so it's all fairly new to me

I bet they do. We skip thrm all.

The cost of 250 is to run a reverse mould on the bench so it can then be cast from. The reverse mould is made of Plaster so no good once of the bench.

Running the cornice on the bench defeats the point of casting. So that's why a reverse mould is done so it can be cast.

But surely running down solid on the bench for a few metres is more cost effective. than running a reverse.

 

[superspread]

They don't have to make a mold to cast them, they can run them on a bench.
It's just a part of the trade that hasn't allowed itself to get sucked into the undercutting mentality.

A run cast

I have the machinery to pull it off... why does it have to be 1mm thick and not 3mm thick?

How thick is you’re trowel???

Exactly!

Hi, I'm looking for someone who can run about 3.8m of plaster cornice in-situ. This is to match the existing Victorian plain cornice.

Is this a dying art? I can't seem to find anyone in my vicinity who can do this ~ I'm in Melksham, Wiltshire, a few miles east of Bath.

If you can, or know someone who can, please let me know.

Many thanks.

Send me a pic
