| Re: corner nightmare | | ok instead of trying to mitre round the angle and without using a three way, on the return do your upright and a flat mitre to the top and butt the return into the back of the mitre the corner wont be as sharp but still not perfect. | | |

| Re: corner nightmare | | While you can probably get them ,i have never seen one ,if you trim them top tile down a couple of mm on the reveal you will get it to sit perfect and the contractor should have no qualm's.
That'a how i usually cut plastic tim if they have no corners available  | | |
