A couple of questions about crown molding
This book explains it all in a very easy-to-understand manner .. .. ..
I've used it for reference many times over thae past 4-5 years .. .. .. http://www.compoundmiter.com/molding.html While it is possible to match the pattern when making a scarf or butt joint, it is not possible in the corners. What is the best way to handle the inside and outside corners? Just make the cut and match the best you can? Use some caulk to feather in the mismatched contours? Show guests your new crown molding with the lights dimmed? Q2: We have bull-nosed outside corners. This means there will be a small gap at the bottom where the molding meets in these corners. Would it be best to cut small quarter round plugs out of 1" thick wood that would slip up into these gaps? Or does it work just as well to fill the gap with a little caulk, smooth it out, and let it go at that? |
