Isn't that Flex Trim or variant?

Jason, that was my original plan, but because crown on a radius has a different dimension on the top than the bottom I was forced in to plan 'B' for the outside radius, little pieces of crown that were just 5/8 of an inch at the bottom glued together at the bottom then nailed up in about 4 inch sections. Then sanded and filled. The inside corner was tricky. The radius got tighter as it got to the center of the curve. I had to go to plan 'C' on that one, lol. I made a mold of the ceiling, made a trowel that matched the crown profile and made a section on crown out of plaster that ended with a bevel at each end.
