I use to cope everything for yrs. Now I miter all inside corners tight then glue. You have less shrinkage with a tight mitered glued joint. Todays trim from the Big Boxes have way to much moisture content and finger joints to cope anything. Crown molding can be intimidating until you really understand the math and how to approach the task. Ive been there myself over the yrs. When dual compound miter saws came out things changed though. I always cut my crown laying flat. Its much cleaner and safer.
Plus your looking at the crown on the flat table exactly the way it will be installed on the ceiling. There is a little more thinking that needs to be done. But at the end of the day its no different than base molding. A carpenter friend Ive know for yrs told me one time its way to difficult. He said well sure, then I asked so whats so difficult about a crown with a profile on the face. He said well its different. At that point he realized the profile was what was making things look so difficult.
He has never had a problem on a vaulted ceiling again. Remember your in control not the crown profile. I wish I could post some pictures but dont know how.
When you compress the bow into position the sharp edge of the coping can actually cut slightly into the adjoining trim making the joint all but invisible. I would recommend novices start out with base shoe; not the same as quarter round! Very simple but still forces orientation to keep everything lined up; quarter round is too easy, any way you turn it is right!
Once you have determined the locations of your four compass points, place them against a wall and make sure they all line up evenly. Then, put the pencil underneath the board and draw the line with it. Installing shoe molding or quarter rounds is an easy fix for small gaps.
They are enough to fill up little gaps. There are a few things you can do to make your cuts look more professional. For example, estimate the length of each board and use a pencil to mark it so that there will be an accurate cut line for you to see later. We advise you to add some extra nails for the small bend to make it more sturdy and hold up well under pressure from heavier objects, such as boards or panels being nailed into place.
Now, fill the gaps in your vinyl wall with a special paintable caulk that will stick like crazy. Yet, skip this stage if you use a concrete or brick foundation because it is not as flexible and may cover up any unevenness from those materials. Wear gloves and dip your finger into the bowl of water to smooth out any bumps or ridges on top of it. Using wall spackling to paint over cracks and holes in your walls is also a good idea. Additionally, do not forget to sand down any uneven areas, as this will make sure everything looks perfect before moving forward with the next step!
This will give your room a clean finish with smooth edges in no time at all! Or else, refinish your baseboard using a fresh coat of color after removing the old paint. Tilted corners are one of the most common issues that you will encounter. Close the gap between your baseboards with a screw! Regardless of the design style, the addition of interior mouldings and wall treatments add depth and character, and can turn a simple room into an inviting, beautiful space.
