It's Soooo Irritating - Help Needed

[Cubist]

Thanks Mike-I didn’t have any idea how it was made! Nor what the different bits were called. I wasn’t too far off with the silicone mould idea then I’m stuck in a difficult family thing at the mo-poorly relative a 7 hour drive away so house is taking a back seat unfortunately. But I’m collecting ideas-how do I stick it on once remade??

Typically a couple of dabs of Plaster of Paris would be used as an adhesive for any components added after the main body of the cornice had set.

Regarding the 'Dentil' elements that have failed outdoors. If they were made of wood, as I suspect, then a chop-saw could be used to make new dentil blocks that can be screwed and glued in place - always assuming that is that the base timber is still sound.

Thanks cubist scaffolding will hopefully be going up in the next few weeks for the porch roof (finally!) so I’ll be able to get up and investigate the dentils (no idea if that can be pluralised ) I’m also planning to address the rotten window at the same time, thanks to those who offered helpful suggestions previously. I expect to get wet-rain starts in October here and finishes in March

A few miles in any direction but east and you'll be drowning anyway - Devon and Cornwall, where I learned what a pakamak was.
