hi erky mate...just put cuts in the flat part of the trim with your electric cutter about 2-3 inches apart this will allow the trim to flex and then tack to the arches profile with panel pins or a nail gun....perfect result every time.......dave..

Hopefully Erk is trying to put the trim on the outside wall of the arch, not onthe curved inner edge itself!
