This is so helpful, thanks for posting! EPS plaster-coated coving is a fantastic choice for DIYers. It's durable yet lightweight, low-maintenance, and affordable.

These cornice videos are the best, the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Something clicked for me when the internal / external cuts were discussed and it all made sense. After watching them I attempted my first cornice work and it turned out quite well.
Really useful and clear instructions. You have given me the confidence required to carry out the job. While watching the cuts, I was able to test myself saying internal or external before you did. You're a legend mate....thanks!
Good no nonsense video. I had bought 3x 3 meter lengths of 55mm cornice and mauled them trying to do my laundry. After watching your video the next day I bought another 3x 3 meter lengths and had the cornices cut and layer out in 10 mins. You should be a tafe teacher, all the best mate.
Yes thanks Jim.. I always see on many occasions on other videos brand spanking new tools used same goes for cooking shows and it must look more proffessional but I used my well used and trusted tools and only replace them with new ones when required...
Easy to follow video, thanks. Just in case you did or didn't mention this..... Point to note is that you also need to measure the distance from the ceiling to the wall where the cornice sits, i.e. for a 55mm cornice measure 55 mm from the ceiling down the wall and mark off in increments of 200mm say, aligning the bottom of the cornice with that line. That way the job is more accurate and less prone to error if the first row of cornice was adhered without the measurement.
@foundfreemagna Thanks for your comment. The answer to your question about the steps in the mitre box to position 90mm. cove is in the "Hanging Cornices" video . As I mention in the web site, please use it as a course and look at all the videos to get a better understanding on plastering tips. I would have liked to not break videos into parts but TH-cam only allows videos no more than ten minutes. Hope this has helped. Kind regards from plaster repair tips
Brilliant video. I bought a new cornice mitre box and was able to mark it out clearly with your description ie I/R I/L E/R E/L and place cornice upside-down. Thanks heaps.
Great video, a job that has frustrated me for along time but you have made very simple. This will be the icing on the cake so to speak for the kitchen reno that I'm doing. Thanks alot for your excellent instruction. The only thing you could have made a little clearer is the sequence of cuts, you have to think right to left when you do them as your cutting "upside down" as I found out from a bit of trial and error.
You're right Bart. I mention the cornices to be "upside down" at 1:06 on video. At 1:10 I say I'm cutting a right hand INTERNAL miter showing the cutting process with the "upside down" cornice meaning the cut is on our left. For a left hand INTERNAL miter the cut is on the right hand side. It is tricky and takes some time to get used to it and I tried my best to fully explain it on the video. I even need to think even after 20 years experience. Keep watching the videos over and over Ta, Nerio
Great vids, thanks for your replies also. I have a solid brick home and my cornice is starting to come away from the wall due to a bit of movement in my home. I want to have a go at replacing it after watching your great vids 👍. Will cornice adhesive stick to my old plastered and painted walls and also my painted ceilings? Any tips for me after removing my old cornice, before installing new cornice? 90mm cove 👌🏻
Do you think you could a side shot of the mitre box showing then angle of the coving? I can't see if the coving is flat, at an angle and which angle. Thank you.
Great video mate, I never new about the upside down thing, even tho I've only got to put up two pieces,with and internal corner, I would of been swearing a bit if I didn't watch this...thanks.
I noticed in your mitre box you have bits of wood the help seat your cornice what size are they and do you need them in order to get the angle correct?
Great video. A ew questions though. What size cornice did you use? I see that you placed it flat against the bottom ridge inside the box. What size cornice would you use the upper ridge? Cheers
Paul Oehlmann Hi Paul.. the size cornice was 55mm. when cutting miters only use the ceiling profile/length which sits flat on the miter box..in other words, upside down as explained in the video..eg. if you use cornices that has a ceiling profile of 90mm use a 90mm. miter box etc. Keep looking at the videos and you'll get it. I appreciate your comment.. regards
its a great video, the upside down thing messes me up all the time - when I did my house i messed up so many cuts, i ended up making some small demo pieces (internal, external etc) and I just checked it every time i had to make a cut to make sure its going to turn out like the demo piece!
for a 45 degree angle the miter is cut half distance. Normal 90 degree cut miter at 45degees (45 + 45 = 90) so for a 45 degree room it has to be a 22.5 degree cut. There are miter boxes for this. Hope this has helped
You can slightly adjust the cuts by trial and error by using some offcuts or you place an offcut piece in position, with a pencil draw a ceiling and wall line, do for both wall where they meet . where the intersecting lines meet are the points of your miters. Normall on the wall they always meet at the corner, it's on the ceiling line that varies. Hope that helps. Cheers
You can get miter boxes with different degrees such as 45 degrees. You can also use the method I use sometimes i.e. it's simply half the angle of 90 degrees so from the top of the cornice to the 90 degree line you set back the distance. Try on a couple of offcuts and you'll quickly see what I mean
Hahaahaa.. I have being doing this for 25+ years and I screw up once in awhile. Just take a deep breath, think about the job, look at the videos again and you'll get it right. Even Thomas Edison had to try and try again 100's of time till he got it right.. the moto NEVER GIVE UP

Do you think you could a side shot of the mitre box showing then angle of the coving? I can't see if the coving is flat, at an angle and which angle. Thank you.
cheers, live saver mate
Thank heaps you saved my sanity
Hi +Mick W . Wonderful to hear the videos helped..I appreciate your feedback.
Cheers
After trying this for an hour, i now need help with patching fist sized holes in the wall. I wish i found this earlier
hi how much do you take off internal to internal? internal to external
Thanks alot mate!
Great video mate, I never new about the upside down thing, even tho I've only got to put up two pieces,with and internal corner, I would of been swearing a bit if I didn't watch this...thanks.
Your welcome and thanks for the comment
Is it necessary to cut them up upside down? I find it confusing
I noticed in your mitre box you have bits of wood the help seat your cornice what size are they and do you need them in order to get the angle correct?
Thanks mate , save a lot argument between me and my Father in law
How do you cut a splayed mitre on this box
Great video.
A ew questions though. What size cornice did you use? I see that you placed it flat against the bottom ridge inside the box. What size cornice would you use the upper ridge?
Cheers
Paul Oehlmann Hi Paul.. the size cornice was 55mm. when cutting miters only use the ceiling profile/length which sits flat on the miter box..in other words, upside down as explained in the video..eg. if you use cornices that has a ceiling profile of 90mm use a 90mm. miter box etc. Keep looking at the videos and you'll get it.

God bless Australia! It looks easy but it's so easy to screw up...
What happens when the wall is not square ? 45 degree angle will not work ?
for a 45 degree angle the miter is cut half distance. Normal 90 degree cut miter at 45degees (45 + 45 = 90) so for a 45 degree room it has to be a 22.5 degree cut. There are miter boxes for this. Hope this has helped

I know you put it upside down so why no be on the other side of the mitre box and its all the right way instead of backwards
Everyone shows how to do the 90 degree cutting. How do you do a cutting for a wall that is not a right angle but is 45 degrees?
You can get miter boxes with different degrees such as 45 degrees. You can also use the method I use sometimes i.e. it's simply half the angle of 90 degrees so from the top of the cornice to the 90 degree line you set back the distance. Try on a couple of offcuts and you'll quickly see what I mean
upside down and back to front
Hahaahaa.. I have being doing this for 25+ years and I screw up once in awhile.
Just take a deep breath, think about the job, look at the videos again and you'll get it right. Even Thomas Edison had to try and try again 100's of time till he got it right.. the moto NEVER GIVE UP
