How Do You Clamp Crown Molding Corners?
Crown molding is a common type of trim that flares out from a base to a finished edge. It is often used as a way of adding finished trim to capped walls and ceilings, as well as for doors and windows. When working around inside and outside corners, crown molding must be cut at awkward angles that makes it difficult to place the pieces and get them to stick together. In these cases, you must clamp the crown molding to hold the glue in place while it sets up. Finish your cuts and mount one of your cuts along the wall. Apply construction adhesive to the back and nail it in place on the wall, with the outside corner extending beyond the edge. Line up the corresponding piece and place it on the wall so that the outside corner meets the other outside corner. Apply construction adhesive and nail the second board in place, making sure the outside corners meet up. Leave a few feet (if applicable) between the last nail and the outside corner so that you can move the piece of wood slightly later
