Fix with lost-head pins, fine screws, or a suitable grab adhesive, keeping fixings close to both edges to hold the profile firmly against both surfaces. Once fixed, apply a light sand with 120-grit paper before applying your chosen topcoat, whether satinwood, eggshell, or gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between scotia moulding and quadrant beading?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth are used to cover internal corner joins and expansion gaps, but they have different profiles.
