Hi can the forum please help me ... I have used MDF "colonial" V-jointed MDF panelling to line the space under a stairway to create a little computer room. Have used Porta stained oak profile strips to cover the wall corner joints (tri-quad) and the ceiling cornice lines.
The trouble now is the joints on the soffit (underside) of the stairs, which meets at an angle of 150 deg approx (one inner and one outer join, across the stair tread). It seems no combination of pre-manufactured profiles will cover the gap. I had thought I could route something, but now realise I need a table saw (probably) which I don't have, and can't imagine using a circular saw accurately enough to cut 900 mm cover strips to maybe 20 mm width at a bevel angle ...
The photo shows the underside of the stair going away to the right, and the joint to be covered.
Does anyone know of a way to neatly cover this line, and a similar one where the stair soffit panelling meets the wall to the right ... with a timber cover strip (I don't want to just bog the joint up, because it will look bodgy with the V-lined panelling ...).
Any suggestions welcomed.
