Removing small section of coving

[peterhyper]

I need to remove a small section of plaster coving to run a new cable from the wall downstairs to under the upstairs floorboards (putting a new light in they want on a seperate switch). So ideally I want to remove a small section of coving and then replace it.

I have done this in the past with varying results, but any tips welcome?

Note: I am only running the cable vertically through the coving.
