How to butt into cove cornice?
Hi there
I have had a pantry installed in my kitchen and as you can see from the photo, the job requires 90mm cove cornice installed around the bulkhead.
I do not want to cut into the existing cornice, but but into it with what I think is called a scribe joint. I watched a video on how to cut a scribe but I just cant picture how this works with a cornice.
Can anybody out there help me out.
I got a quote from a gyprocker who normally charges $450 minimum but he would do the job for $350 without painting.
For a $10 piece of cornice I am gonna do this myself!
Cheers
Mike
PS
I have a needle file(?) that can take the shape of the cornice. Will this help?

Re: How to butt into cove cornice?
Fell off the ladder (doing the job) so I have been quiet for a bit.
Glued with high strength water based liquid nails
Filled the gaps
Sanded and then painted
Job done!

Hi @MGusto,
I'm so sorry to hear of your fall. I hope you are alright and nothing too serious came of it.
Cornice is not an easy material to work with and you've done a fantastic job of it.
You should be very proud of what you've achieved.
