CROWN MOLDING TIPS Home improvement tips installing crown and interior trim woodworking

What happens here

Chris, the Idaho Painter, introduces the common problem encountered when installing interior trim and crown molding: traditional nailing methods, especially when joining mitered seams, can cause the wood to split or create unsightly nail holes that require extensive filling and touch-up. He showcases damaged crown molding on his kitchen cabinets as an example of poor nailing, emphasizing the need for a better solution for a professional finish.

Goal: This step highlights the issues of wood splitting and visible nail holes when traditional nailing is used to join crown molding seams, using an example of damaged trim on kitchen cabinets.

What they say

This is Chris, the Idaho Painter. In this video, I got a simple tip when it comes to installing interior trim and crown molding, and that's gluing your seams instead of nailing them. So, stay tuned for this video. So, I do own a painting company, BNK Painting, and it is a full-ervice painting company. And what that full service painting company means is we do all of our own drywall repairs and carpentry repairs. And the carpenter repairs on the exterior of the house doing siding repairs and trim repairs. And on the inside of the house, we do a lot of carpentry repairs when it comes to interior trim and crown molding. So, we remove old bad banged up stuff, beat up stuff, and we also install new stuff. And there's a simple trick when it comes to budding two seams together, how you actually go about doing that. And I've learned a whole lot from my friend Richard from DFW Crown, watching his videos on YouTube, and him helping me out. and he's got a simple tip of how you create a joint, a real solid joint without nailing it. And this is a really good trick because I got some cabinets in my house where a previous uh carpenter actually installed the crown molding on the cabinets and damaged the crown really bad by trying to staple the seams together. And I'll show you what that actually looks like. And Richard has this really cool trick of gluing the seams together and getting a glued seam to stick extremely fast and extremely strong strong. So stay tuned for this trick right now. So hopefully
