Coving.

cosmowillie53

I will be painting some coving shortly and need a little advice.
I have already applied first (watered down ) coat .(mist?)
Where the coving is joined the plasterer has left a good bit of cement/adhesive or whatever its called.
Whats the best way to smooth this out before applyiny final coats of paint.
Thanks.

This is coving which you would buy in your local hardware shop . They are about 6 or 7 feet long and are made of a kind or plasterboard . The joints need to be smoothed out and I would like to know a good way to do this. How will the joints look when painted.
Thanks.

One shot on kill

It's normally joint filler or similar used to stick it up and fill,joints.

Try using a wet sponge to rub it it should smoothin out that way.

Use some sand paper and sand it smooth. 80/100 grade should be grand

Be careful not not sand into the coving too much, just rub the excess plaster
