Cut cap on marks to fit between caps

Capping a curved wall takes a bit of cutting and fitting, but produces a beautiful finish. Be sure to wear safety glasses when cutting, and operate power saws carefully.

Cutting Cap for Curves
  • Place two caps on top of the wall spaced so a third cap will fit tightly between their widest point.
  • Set another cap on top of the first two caps and mark where they overlap on the bottom of the center cap.
  • Remove the center cap and cut along the marks.
  • Set the middle cap back in place so the three fit tightly together.
  • Repeat as often as needed to cap the entire curve.
  • It's a good idea to secure caps with a high strength construction adhesive once they are all cut.
  • On tighter curves both caps equally will give a cleaner look.
