The invention provides a method of manufacturing an elongate decorative moulding having a decorative surface, comprising the steps of: (a) placing a flat surface of an elongate foam moulding core on an input portion of a flat elongate table, the foam core comprising a flexible resilient expanded polymer foam solid having: said flat surface on one side; a decorative surface on another side and a cross-sectional profile, the cross sectional profile of the core being proportionally smaller than the desired cross sectional profile of the finished decorative moulding, the table including a smooth continuous planar top surface and a longitudinal axis; (b) aligning the foam core on said longitudinal axis of the table; (c) sliding the foam core on the top surface of the table forwardly along the axis through a coating containment chamber, the coating chamber: having a bottom surface defined by the top surface of the table; having a rearward opening larger than the core profile; side walls and a forward wall which includes a die, the die having a die opening with a profile proportionally larger than the cross sectional profile of the moulding core, the die opening having a profile conforming a desired cross sectional profile; (d) applying a liquid coating material to the decorative surface of the moulding core as the foam core slides through the coating chamber, the flat surface of the core slidingly engaging the top surface of the table thus being shielded from coating material; (e) passing the coated moulding core through the die opening on to an output portion of the table top surface; and (f) curing the coating material after the moulding has passed the die. Also provided is a device for manufacturing an elongate moulding.
