Diall Solvent-free Coving Adhesive & filler 310ml

I’m very confused by some of the previous reviews and we had no problems whatsoever with this adhesive. It stuck very well and was fairly quick drying too. We managed to cove our living room in one evening and have transformed our room for no more than £40 all in all. Highly recommend this product and think it’s great value for money.

Bought this product on a recommendation from a friend who had also used it. After reading the reviews on here already, I was very sceptical it was going to work. Like a previous reviewer I struggled with the first piece I fitted. After measuring and cutting pieces to fit I used small notice board pins to hold in place. I would then mark a line with a pencil along top and bottom edges then run a line of adhesive just inside the line as I found it difficult to run it along the actual coving (I found cutting the nozzle on a slight angle helps to make it stick to wall and ceiling). Then you can push the coving against the adhesive and the line helps you get it into the right place. If any presses out use your finger to press it back, running your finger along it, it also seals the edge.

This adhesive is not fit for purpose, it has virtually no adhesive qualities whatsoever, you're probably better off using chewing gum ! Do not waste your money on this product.

Spent so much time holding the coving in place to get it to bond that my neck and shoulders hurt. Very user unfriendly, if you put a lot on it seeps out to make a mess and not enough it won't stick. Poor adhesive. Avoid.

I bought this product with my coving - first time doing this job so watched the videos and apart from the first 2m length, everything went smoothly. One video recommended putting 3 or 4 small tacks just under the coving to hold it in place until the adhesive was dry. Great tip - just pull them out afterwards. The adhesive does grab well but I think I didn't use enough on my first 2m length. I'm really happy with the result.
