Product Information

Often, installing crown molding can leave gaps between the wall and the ceiling. One DIY solution to fix these gaps is to use a latex caulk. Use the caulk gun to spread a bead of caulk along the gap. Use your finger to smooth the caulk out and let it dry overnight. We recommend using latex caulk as opposed to silicone caulk because silicone caulk tends to be messy and difficult to clean up. Additionally, if your crown molding is painted, you can use a paintable latex caulk. Once the caulk has dried, simply paint it to match the rest of your crown molding. Replace a Section of Molding NOTE: If you run the command now in Windows 11, you will see it displayed as follows – but it means the same thing. Fold a cotton rag to create a pad. Then dip an edge of the pad into a container of wipe-on polyurethane and press it against the side to wring out the excess. Wipe the polyurethane onto the wood in long strokes in the direction of the wood grain as you would if you were using a brush. Molding tends to historically refer to a broad classification of millwork—any type of wood product that is made in a mill. Today, however, molding can be made out of a variety of materials. Crown molding–while likewise can be made out of a range of materials—tends to refer to molding that connects walls to the ceiling. Generally, most people use “trim” and “molding” interchangeably.

Plaster is best suited as a material for crown molding as opposed to other kinds of trim. This is because it can be used to create large, elaborate designs on high ceilings such as two-story entryways or homes with higher-than-standard ceilings. Plaster is evocative of another time during which grandeur and pomp were the norms—this also means that plaster can be quite the investment in your home. Plaster also requires professional installation and cannot be DIY’d. Polystyrene The first step in renewing your woodwork and stained baseboards is cleaning it to remove grease and grime and create a contaminant-free surface for the new finish. Wash the woodwork with a TSP substitute. Use just enough cleaner to wet the surface. Scrub with a sponge dipped in the cleaning solution. Then rinse with a sponge and clear water and wipe off the wood with a dry rag. Originally, trims and moldings were used in home construction for practical reasons. The stretch of material that has become a sign of elegance and an elevated aesthetic initially was used to cover the gaps where different materials came together—or the space between a wall and the ceiling.However, if your moldings are in desperate need of interior trim repair, then the delightful aesthetic of moldings will be lost. To maintain your home’s appearance and the integrity of your trim and molding, it’s important to stay on top of repairs. Common flaws in molding include nail holes, dents, and gaps between sections of crown molding. One of the easiest ways to fix these errors is by applying drywall mud or wood putty to the holes and gaps. This will smooth out damaged texture and hide a multitude of trim and molding sins. If your molding is painted, drywall mud is a better option as it can be easily painted over. If your trim is stained, you should use a wood putty that closely matches your molding. Both materials will easily hold the shape desired and will need to dry for 24 hours. Caulk Window stools and other areas exposed to moisture and sunlight may need to be completely refinished. In spots such as these where the wood is discolored and the finish worn away, you’ll get the best results by scraping and sanding to expose bare wood (Photos 2 and 4).

Soften old paint along the edges of trim and stained baseboards with alcohol. A rag wrapped around a putty knife lets you scrub the trim without slopping alcohol onto the wall. Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you’ll save time and frustration. Sand the bleached wood after it dries. Start with 120-grit sandpaper. Then sand with 180-grit. Vacuum the dust before staining and finishing. There are many benefits to metal crown molding and trim. Metal is fire-resistant, strong, durable, and will last a very long time–making metal trim and molding a sustainable option for many homeowners. However, perhaps the most iconic aspect of metal trim and crown molding is its aesthetic. Whether sleek and modern or befitting a hotel in a Wes Anderson film, metal molding has a very distinct and elegant look. Plaster Medium-density fiberboard is a commonly used trim material because it’s inexpensive. However, MDF has trouble holding up well in humid places like Keller. MDF tends to soak up water like a sponge, making it expand and start to shed paint. Generally, MDF works better for crown molding than it does for window trim or for baseboard trim—since these areas are more likely to accumulate water and moisture.
