How correctly to cut a corner on a ceiling skirt with a stool?

A special template is called a stucco, which, when cutting the plinth, guides the hacksaw (saw) at the required angle. This technique will allow you to get a neat butt.

The traditional angle is 45 degrees. You can make a wooden workpiece for cutting yourself.

If the corners in the room are not straight, it is convenient to cut using a paper template.

For external and internal angles, the position of the element will be different. In the stool, fillet is laid, tightly pressed against the side of the template. Trimming is done in the right direction.

How to cut corners on a ceiling skirting without a stool?

How correctly to cut a ceiling skirting board ? If previously you have not encountered this kind of work, practice the skill on small pieces so as not to spoil the entire panel on error. Otherwise, it can be fraught with such defects:

1. Begin with the markup. First, cut the butt, which adjoins the next bar on a flat wall. It can be done with an ordinary hacksaw. When the fragment is ready along the length, attach it to the wall.
2. You do not have to use a chair to trim in a corner. The marking can be made directly on the ceiling. Take a small piece, mark its outline with a pencil. Do the same on the adjacent wall. The intersection point of the lines is transferred to the lamellae. Cut along the line connecting the top and bottom points.
3. Attach the finished fragment. Apply on the sides, adjacent to the wall and ceiling, on the butt of the glue mixture. Fix it to the wall.
4. Remove dust and excess glue with a clean cloth and brush.
5. The same algorithm of actions repeat for the adjacent wall, starting from the marking in the corner, and ending with the removal of excess glue. Experts recommend that you trim prongs of both corner elements and only then start fixing them on the supporting structure.
