Coving

Post by doidiy »

A guy at work has just coved his bathroom and used Artex to stick the coving in place.

Can you use artex to stick up coving or is he winding me up?

The bathroom is a damp environment, so I guess he'll soon find out one way or the other!!!

Ready mixed coving adhesive is only about £10-£15.


Think I would personally use the right stuff :wink:
