Introduction to Gluing Crown Molding Seams

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 you can see this is my kitchen cabinets right here. They were installing the crown molding right here and they tried to shoot pens in it and it actually busted it right here. This is dark cuz we actually stained it to just try to give it an antique look. They stapled it right there and it busted off a piece of the crown right there and it's actually not held together and it's got to be repaired. That's what you call some bad carpentry work. So, we got another look at a crown seam right here and it's been shot and nailed right there, which because of the holes, we had to putty it. And instead of shooting pins like that, it's a lot better to actually glue it so you don't actually have those nail holes that got to be filled. Even if it's going to be painted, way better to glue it. So, watch this trick. Gluing
