Coving unstuck
 
One piece of coving that I put up a couple of months ago has become unstuck
from the wall. It's sticking quite well to the ceiling. The crack is too
small to force adhesive into. Any suggestions as how to restick it? I
thinking about drilling holes down from the loft behind it and then pouring
a watery adhesive mix down!

If white won't show, you could try thinning some wall tile adhesive/grout
and piping it with a cake decorating syringe. Don't let the wife see you
using it though :-(

squirt some 'sticks like sh1t' type adhesive up the back of it,

prop it with 2 x 1

wipe off excess

Or go to the chemists ot n-veterinary supplier and buy a large syringe
similar to those used by Vets. Buy a few, they are quite handy. Avoid
the temptation to buy one of those shoulder length rubber gloves. Might
frighten the missus
