jamiehamy Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 So I've had a go with this and quite pleased. Had already bought the bendy ply so will see how it paints up. Will remove and bond with glue before fully screwing in. I've counter sunk before Screwing which works well. One more to go (on the left of the second pic - that stud will be coming out) ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really old timber lath would've bent around most curves,horizontally. The method I learned in college was using EML & two coats of bonding before skim.

Ferdinand Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 What sort of ply is that @jamiehamy? Is that the pre-slotted-on-the-back stuff or just thin? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpd Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Looks realy great and in another situation where you wanted the wood it would look great with a few coats of varnish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I got it from a local merchant - think it must have special properties as its £36 a sheet! No slots, curves well and doesn't distort.

jamiehamy Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) How time passes and some jobs get bumped to the back of the queue! I'd tried to get the mdf to bend and nearly had it but would have required a lot of attention to sort. Until Craig announced he'd bought curved skirting. I confess to having rolled ze eyes a bit. Until the time came to fit it. CT1 and a sharp knife. Easy as can be, tiny bit of filler required to finished the tiny gap. Jobs a good'un! I don't know how much it was and maybe don't want to know... Anyway, for future curved wallers, this is brilliant! Edited May 26, 2019 by jamiehamy Craif is actually Craig :) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newhome Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Looks great! Amazon sell that (from Germany). This one is only 1.2m but you get the idea. Bendy skirting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
