Common Molding Mistakes and How to Fix Them
As much as I love the look of molding, I literally start to sweat when I know I’m about to take on a project that requires angled cuts. Precise measurements make me nervous. (That’s why I rarely bake.) Fortunately, my dad and I created a video that shows how to cut molding the right way. Plus I share some recent mistakes I've made.
Jamming a piece into a corner to make it fit will come back to bite you.
Here's what happened.
I prefer using a stud finder to locate studs, then nailing molding to the wall using a nail gun. Liquid Nails is a no-no for this project.

Does this also work for outside corners, or only inside corners?

I've used white caulking on the past to cover the crack. Always worked very well for me.
