I want to use 11/16 quarter round as baseboards..I have round drywall corners.Does anyone know of a place I can buy corners for this? Please post a link if you know TIA
These guys advertise a flexible quarter round that in sizes one inch or less is supposed to bend to fit a radius as small as 6 inches. I've never seen this used; just found it online. Six inch radius is a pretty big circle anyway, so this might not be useful.
But good luck! Oh, and sorry for the stupid pdf format.
Update: I got curious and looked around some more. I haven't seen any prices, or any 11/16 quarter round either, for that mattter, but the products at the sites below look interesting. The flexible trim looks amazing, though I would guess it is expensive, and the few comments I found on bendywood were very positive. One other option was a comment I read from an old hand who said that with the application of heat, moisture, and patience, regular wood moulding could be custom bent to fit a variety of curves; with patience being the most important of the three. I picture c-clamps and jigs with progessively more acute curves. Theoretically, I guess you could also do this in place with a spritzer and heat gun, or a steamer, and slowly adjusting the curve each day. It might create a tripping hazard though.
1/4 round is typically used as the final trim on baseboard trim to fill the tiny gaps created by using the square bottom boards that do not flex with the highs and lows of the floor. The baseboard trim is not only for looks but to protect the sheetrock from damage while you vacuum or sweep the floor. The 1/4 round offers no protection. If your planning carpet, Do not waste your time puttin it on as it will only be removed by the carpet folks as they need a square flush wall to put the tackless next to.
If your looking to wrap the corners with the trim forget it. I know of no such animal. Simply angle cut the trim on the corners and paint in. Or miter the corner and fill the tiny gap with paintable caulk where the round corner does not fill behind the trim itself.

One more thing, You can get Aztec boards and other sythnetic materials that can be heated up and bent in many ways. The trim is fairly expensive and you need a heater to warm it up so you can bend it. My last post I was thinking of wood only.
