Securing a coved box

[Smiffy]

Afternoon all,

I have just framed a set of three plaster cast hand prints (the ones people have done for their babies etc..), and have used a coved box, which is 3cm deep.

The mount measurements are 84x41 cm.

On the smaller coved boxes I've done, tape has sufficed as far as holding the box in place is concerned. This one being bigger is presenting more problems than expected.

I am looking for help with how to secure the cove box into the moulding so that nothing falls out when lifted off the wall.

Thanks peeps!

Have a look at this Youtube video, it may answer your query.

It is part of a series about cove boxes.

Did you use a moulding with a suitably deep rebate? If so assemble it like any other job? If not, why not?

Thanks - I'll check that video shortly.

The moulding rebate is fine and deep enough, but the angle of the coved box makes it hard to get any tabs in...

SILICONE!!!!!

Are you using a back? If not then do. If so, where does the steep angle come in?
