Well, ****... of course he needed to use caulk. He was using a Kapex
to cut the mitres!


I wanna know why he did not cope the corners.

I think I heard him say on another show that since that material is
synthetic it doesn't expand/contract as much plus he can glue the
corners so they don't separate...


Bingo ... the foam crown material is much more dimensionally stable than
its wood counterpart so effectively doesn't need to be coped as it
doesn't open up with seasonal changes in RH.
