Any "Tricks" with Cornice "Butt-Joints"?
Hello Folks,
When a "Butt Joint" in the Cornice along a wall is unavoidable due to the long length of the wall, do any of you do anything special to (try to) prevent the joint from cracking in the future?...
I am using 75mm Cornices, and I was thinking of either:
1) Carving little 5mm bevels into the front edges of the two mating pieces, and then filling the resulting V-Groove with Cornice Cement...
or,
2) "Back-blocking" the joint with a small arc of 90mm Cornice...
Wadya'reckon?
Many Thanks,
Batpig.
