I bought a digital angle metre on Amazon. About £25 I think, but very handy for accurate measurements. Had to sit the rail into the plaster in places to get it to sit fairly flat along the rest of the length. Just cut slightly on the long side and the mitre saw allows you to take off mm at a time. Cut, screw on, measure, take off, cut 2mm more etc etc. Then a blob of mastic between the corners when finally ready to fix. A decent power mitre saw and a way of accurately measuring angles are the thing.

Any advice on filling those mitered picture rail joints? Or were yours so clean that they didn't require any filler?
I'm in the middle of fitting a new rail around my sitting room. Some sections had to be flexible as I have three curved sections.
