Cornice/Scotia

Our scotia was a tricky one for us because we kept getting confused on how to ct i on the drop saw. Once we figured it out we were flying.

To put our scotia up we first had to put our bull nose on because it covered the gap between the pine lining boards and the sill of the window.

The scotia is measured by transferreing a line from the edge of our arc's down. and that is where the scotia lined up with so thats were you measure from.

You must place the first piece of scotia in so you can then cut your two returns that go on each end to tidy it up. Scotia is in many ways the same as cornice eg. the shape and how you must cut it. If you were to be putting up cornice in a timber home it would just be a large scotia mould instead of gyprock to flow with the finished look of the house.
