Install Glued Crown Molding with Brad Nails

What happens here

With the corner section of crown molding now securely glued and formed, Richard proceeds to install it onto the wall. He positions the molding piece against the wall and ceiling, ensuring a tight fit. He then uses an 18-gauge brad nailer to secure the molding in place. To maximize holding power and prevent future movement, he drives brad nails in a 'V' pattern, ensuring they penetrate both the wall studs and the ceiling joists. This creates a robust mechanical fastener system in addition to the strong glued joints.

Goal: The pre-glued crown molding section is positioned on the wall and securely fastened using an 18-gauge brad nailer, driving nails in a V-pattern for maximum hold.
