MITERING
Miter your mouldings to join
pieces at corners. An end miter
is a 45° cut in the ends of two
adjoining pieces of moulding so
they t tightly together.
Crown and cove mouldings are
cut at the same angle against
the back and bottom of the miter
box as they will eventually rest
against the wall and ceiling.
Base mouldings and chair rails
are cut with the at side against
the back of the miter box. Door
and window casings are mitered
with the at side on the bottom
of the box.
COPING
Use a cope cut for inside
corners when installing base
or crown.
SPLICING
When a wall is too long for a
single length of moulding, you
need to splice two or more
moulding pieces together.
FASTENING
A dab of glue and small diameter nails assure
tight joints. If installing MDF, set power tools at 100
to 110 pounds per PSI to compensate for the dense
surface. Putty holes and paint.
