I have searched the forum but haven't found. Can anyone explain how to cope a cove moulding? So one piece goes straight into the corner and then cut the other one to fit.

If you suppose that you have a painted trim, cut it as if you were going to miter it, then sand/saw/carve/file away the part of the cut that is/would have been unpainted so that this becomes parallel with the meeting trim

Not all moldings can be coped in the simple way as the material is not sufficient... a solid cove molding that fills all the way into the corner should work but they are usually thin in reality... So...
I have had to give up on coping cove moldings and miter them as usual...

Hello,
Just wanted to thank you for the thread, I also used this in one of the few rooms where I didn't tear down the ceiling so everything was ... not straight.
Once you got the cut in, it was easier than mitering the crown molding on an uneven ceiling.
Thanks for the thread
