I googled 'attached ceiling coving' and was presented with plenty of results. That wasn't too difficult now, was it?

This is a great tip for helping you hold it all in place

do not attempt this unless you're quite handy at DIY, it's a nightmare

Put your own coving up - I'm not doing it for you.

Chewing gum Would hold that up.
I'd use a clear silicone which would hold that no problem.


*The reason for clear is that it grabs/cure slighly faster than a coloured silicone.

I don't put coving up on your ceiling.

Panel bonding adhesive. Provided you don't ever want it to come off, it's all good.

Looking for some type of sealant rather than hammering nails, "no more nails"?

A bloke I work with used to use artex as it gives you more time to make sure you've got the positioning right. Cant say I've tried it myself.

Gyproc Cove Adhesive?

mix soem cornflakes with milk, the resulting mixture is harder than anything else known to man

anyone who has left a few flakes to weld themselves to a bowl will vouch for it

get a mitre block..........I bet your corners are not perfect, absolute PITA to get right, but worth it

You use coving adhesive. Hold the coving in place with small tacks until it sets.

All my coving has been put up with artex. By a family member as well as two professional decorators. Works a treat, and non of it has shifted.

Who makes 'soem' brand cornflakes then?
