then the guy i was doing the job for went and got a cheap mitre box for the coving and tubed B&Q coving compound

Is he expecting you to cove the sloping bit of just the horizontal. You can either do a stop end, or shoot the cove in to the fall of the ceiling (which is what i'd do).

yer all the way round the lid m8 along the top and down the curve ans along the side

[TonyM]

Your coving isn't going to sit properly on that shallow angle for a start. You can do the sloping side to horizontal by bisecting the angle, no problem. The other joint can be done but it is a twat to do.

i was thinking of casting a bit in place and using bonding then blend it in to place fether it in and sand it back but then i went to the cafe and said nope not now not to day si i started this



jointing was done by a mate working with me at the time i still need to top coat it
It was double boarded for safety from the kids smashing it

That is not going to look good if you follow the ceiling line all the way around.Stopend as you hit the slope would be my favoured finish.

Stop end it. cove on the slop will not look right.

I agree with the others- stop end it at the slope. I've never in my life seen it coved all the way down. And if he's bought poly stuff from b+q then tell him to hang it himself. You could stay warm in the cafe
