 Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 7:11 am Post subject: Removing Cornice Cement |
 |
|
I am in the process of renovating the bathroom and I want to get rid of the old 75mm cornice and finish the walls square with the ceiling.
My ceiling is Stramit Board and I need a way to remove the last traces of the cornice cement without damaging the surface of the ceiling which is essentilly the same surface as gyprock - some sort of thick paper based material so not all that durable.
Given the cornice cement is a calcium based product I thought something like vinegar might do the trick but I am looking for suggestions please

It is quite easy to remove but will leave your ceiling looking pretty sorry for itself around the edges - unfortuantely there is no easy answer to get it back to it's original look! The bonding stuff is a pain in the bum to remove - you have to soften it or scrape it off if the ceiling is flat and not patterned artex

Measure from wall to wall and cut the cornice to length using the cornice mitre box and hand saw. For 90mm standard cornice measure down from the ceiling 90mm and make a mark or put a temporary nail half way in, or better still use a chalk line to mark a line right around the room at 90mm down from the ceiling, so the cornice can sit of it when installed. If you are using different sized cornice the principal is the same, just measure down the wall with measurements of the cornice.
