    Default Sticking ceiling coving to wall tiles

    Hi, I am new to this forum, and hope all you experts can offer me some advice.

    Can anyone advise the best way to stick coving onto tiles. I have decided to remove the coving and tile the walls and then put the coving back on top after as the tiles are quite thick and therefore protrude in front of the coving if I left it as is.
    But what adhesive to use???
    Tles adhesive or coving adhesive or silicone etc etc???

    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Raty.

    tile adhesive would be the best bet just give it plenty of time to dry:Pete

    You may need something to support the cove while adhesive has time to take hold.

    Depends on the coving. If it's plaster coving then it would need to be supported, if it's paper faced coving, which is lighter and easier to work with, it wouldn't need as much support. When I fix coving I use a panel pin against the edge rather than through face. Pins could be placed in the grout line. When you are happy that the addy has set then take out the pins and run a bead of decorators caulk around the edge. That will close any pin holes and give a surface to paint on. Better than screwing throught the face and no need to fill the holes.Silicone will not take paint.
