I am putting 100mm plaster coving around my bathroom ceiling .I have just done
one seperate section that consisted of 3 straight short lengths with two

still to be done is about 8 Metres with 7 internal corners and 3 external .

I am looking for tips as to how to do this with the minimum of trouble .I was
using a small plastic device called a Wonder Mitre .I got it years ago but I see
Axminster have it here

The one I have is plastic and tends to spread when you put any pressure on it
and if you don't it slips off position . Looking at the Axminster one it looks
like it might be metal so it could be more practical ..I'd prefer to make a half
decent job so minimisiing the use of filler although I may be optimistic in
saying that .

Any advice will be appreciated .
thx

Get a cheap mitre saw - I bought one for about £10 from a market vendor.
Use support pins. Score the wall and paint with dilute PVA. Use sloping
joints if you need to join lengths during a run - one inside corner and
one outside corner.

I will be using pins while the adhesive sets but
"Sloping Joints ?" What are they .?
