![Twitch Bans Hasan Piker After Hypothetical About Republicans Killing Senator Rick Scott [Update]](https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/c_fill,h_675,pg_1,q_80,w_1200/f34cd5654d9bbbfaeb82c499a4118d4b.png)
Coving coming loose
I’ve started to notice lots of horizontal cracks at the edges of my plaster coving. Upon touching the coving, there’s a hollow sound, so I think the adhesive is starting to fail. I’m not really looking at taking the whole house’s worth of coving down and replacing or reattaching it, so I’m looking for a good long term solution to make sure it stays in place that isn’t too difficult from a DIY perspective. Would running a bead of decorator’s caulk or another strong, flexible and paintable adhesive be suitable in this case? That would also sort the cracks out. I’ve read about people putting pins / screws along the coving which I’m open to doing, but most of my coving goes into plasterboard / drywall, so does that make a difference? Photos attached. Thanks a lot for your help. submitted by /u/xen0n1 [link] [comments]
