I am putting up coving in my house. Anyone got any tips?

I've heard some people say put some nails under it to hold it until
the adhesive dries, but don't think this is an option in my case,
because the walls are block and plaster.

I use covemaster lightweight polystyrene/paper coving instead of plaster
coving.

from floor level it's indistinguishable from plaster coving and because
coving adhesive
has so much grab you don't need nails/pins to hold it in place.

i replaced all the horrid poly coving in my house with plaster stuff. if
they have come up with a better finish on the poly stuff it should be
better...

both the polystyrene (covemaster) and plaster (gyproc?) coving are
covered in paper so the only difference is the weight.
