Default Crown molding

Walls in the kitchen have been prepped and wallpaper going in today.


Next week I'll be putting up the crown molding which is something I've
never done before.


Looked on line at the tutorials and they just show a guy with a brad gun
putting them in staggered about a foot apart.


There is no mention of studs.

Since the small brads are just going into drywall I don't see how that
can hold too well even though the crown molding is very light.


My plan is to put the brads into as many studs as possible...


I went around last night near the ceiling and poked some brads through
the wall where the studs were supposed to be and amazingly found a good
deal of them.


The tutorials recommended construction adhesive as well...I'm wondering
if that's why they did not mention the importance of hitting studs.
