How to install foam crown molding?

Foam crown molding is a great way to add a decorative touch to any room. It is a relatively simple process to install and can be completed in a few hours. To install foam crown molding, follow these steps:

1. Position and Mark the Alignment: Begin by holding a strip of molding in place above a door or window casing. Adjust the position until it looks even with the casing, then mark this alignment with a pencil. Start installation from an inside corner, working towards outside corners.
2. Cut Angles for Corners: Use a miter box to cut the molding at a 45-degree angle for inside or outside corners. Ensure the correct parts are shorter based on the corner type.
3. Ensure a Tight Fit: Utilize a rasp or sanding block to shave the back of the angled cut, allowing the corners to come together tightly.
4. Apply Joint Compound and Install: Spread a ½-inch bead of joint compound along the molding's top and bottom edges. Install the molding using 8d nails to support long runs. Be cautious not to use too much compound to prevent sliding.
5. Align Profiles for Inside Corners: Push the mitered ends together to create inside corners, ensuring the faces align. Use joint compound to fill any small gaps between the molding and the ceiling.
6. Connect Outside Corners: Press the mitered ends together on outside corners, allowing excess compound to squeeze out. Backfill gaps using a finger or a putty knife.
7. Secure Long Runs with Nails: For straight runs, push the straight-cut ends to create a butt joint. Use 8d nails to brace long runs and joints, angled slightly upward for concealment.
8. Smooth Out Joints: Clear away excess joint compound while it's wet. Use your finger to smooth seams where the molding meets the wall and ceiling. A wet sponge aids in cleanup without removing too much compound.
9. Fill Butt Joints Excessively: Push more compound into and over butt joints using a small putty knife. Leave the compound slightly proud of the joint, and once dry, sand away the excess.
10. Prepare for Painting: Joint compound is easy to sand. Once it dries, sand the seams where molding meets molding with 150-grit sandpaper.
11. Mask and Paint: Mask the walls along the edges of the molding with painter’s tape. Prime and paint the molding to match the room's door and window casings using an angled sash brush.

How to cut foam crown molding

Cutting foam crown molding is a relatively easy task as long as you have the right tools. Start by measuring the desired length and angle of the molding. You can then miter-cut the second piece at 45 degrees. Highlight the leading of the moulding with a pencil, then cut along it with a coping saw.

If you have access to a miter saw, then you can cut the crown molding at any angle you desire. The trick is to ensure that the miter saw is correctly adjusted before you start cutting. Put the crown molding in the saw and set the angle to the desired position. Make sure to keep the saw blade straight and cut along the leading of the molding. This will ensure that you get a clean and precise cut.
