Does anyone have tips on how to fill the gaps between the molding and

We've tried using various types of caulk which does work great but its
a magnet for dust that sticks and is
very hard to get off.

Thanks


Paintable caulk. Finish with either paint or clear finish, same as
wall/molding.


I have used strips of wood to fill some gaps that are too open for
caulk. Some molding can follow a crooked wall more than others. Best
to be fussy with crown molding, as it will always be easily seen by
everyone.
