I just realized that the cove I've spent time on doesn't form a 90-degree angle on the back like this one:
I've used that version before and can handle it.
But now I ended up with this variant instead:
Note that of the two beveled sides on the back, only one can sit flush against the surface - the other must be angled.
My questions are:
Is it against the wall, as the picture above suggests, that you should lay flush? And therefore let the ceiling have the beveled edge?
Do you cut it the same way as a regular cove - that is, do you place it in the miter saw in the manner that it will be installed?
I have the thankless task of splicing onto an existing cove molding (which I don't want to remove because it makes complicated twists at the other end like bending straight up in a stairwell.) The splicing with straight cuts along a straight section went okay - but now that I'm at the corner, I can't get it to fit - the usual cutting method isn't working (I place the cove with the beveled edge that I want flush against the wall now flush against the stop in the miter saw and cut the first 45 degrees to the left and the opposing piece 45 degrees to the right.) But it didn't turn out right.
How on earth do you get it right? Does this need to be "coping" as it's called - in other words, carved to fit together?
And why does such a cove exist parallel to the one with a 90-degree backside?
There you said something - so that molding is for sloped ceilings!
The thing is, such molding is already up here for some reason - and it’s not a sloped ceiling - so I've continued using the leftover pieces in the woodpile in the workshop. But then it becomes difficult to fit them together in the corners - they had managed that before here (I tore down and moved a wall and now need to put up the moldings where I tore it down) but it seems like a terrible hassle.
