Answers: How do you install wood crown moulding versus styrofoam crown moulding?

• wood crown moulding installation
• styrofoam crown moulding installation
• miter saw crown moulding cuts
• caulking and painting crown moulding
• inside corner joints for crown moulding

What it concludes

• Wood crown moulding can have inconsistent sizes depending on moisture content when milled.
• Cutting crown moulding upside down allows you to make 45-degree inside and outside corner cuts using a saw set at a 90-degree angle.
• Using a saw set at 45 degrees rather than the saw's built-in angle guides provides more accurate miter cuts.
• A 10-inch saw with an 80-tooth blade is sufficient for finish carpentry work without needing a compound sliding saw.
• DAP Alex Plus latex caulking with silicone prevents cracking over time.
• Higher-priced paint offers better coverage and value, avoiding the need for extra coats.
