Large Radius Cove Trowel


I'm looking for a supplier of a very large radius cove trowel. I'm taping the ceiling portion of the drywall to the sloped roof portion. The inside resulting radius is large. The trowel needs to accommodate a soft curve along the top of at least an 20" circle. Can anyone advise on a supplier. Or another solution?

Re: Large Radius Cove Trowel


I have used plexiglas to make curved trowels where I had to do repairs to coved ceilings and such. Just made a wood form to hole the shape in the radius I needed, and screwed the plexi to the wood. I use 1/8" for tight radii and 1/4" for larger ones.

How about something like this:

20" Inner Trowel (CUR20A) - $34.50
26" Inner Trowel (CUR26A) - $42.50



20" Outer Trowel (CUR20B) - $34.50
26" Outer Trowel (CUR26B) - $42.50


Both here:

I've located a Curve Coater! It should do the job perfectly. Your assistance is most valuable.
