I am trying to put up cove molding where the ceiling meets the wall. It is in a room that used to be a porch. The ceiling line starts out level but then curves down to the outside wall. I tried to bend the cove into the curve but it is not flexable enough. I then tried cutting kerfs into the back of the molding but that did not help much. The cove molding I’m using is similar to 1/4 round except the face is convex not concurve.Is there an easy solution anyone can help me with? Thanks.

check out flexible cove--much easier than bending with something like steam or kerfing.
is it paint grade?
if the flex stuff don't work ...
just plaster it.
at least the curved portion.
