My ceiling repair turned into a 3-day geometry lesson

Everyone says to just patch the hole, but matching the curve on this 1928 plaster cove molding took me 14 hours of shaping and sanding. What's the most time you've lost trying to get a historical detail right?

My 1936 bathroom tile took a full weekend just to match the grout color. Sometimes the right way is the slow way.

Custom mix with dry pigments works best.
