If you've always wanted crown molding in your home but don't want to pay a professional or don't have the tools and knowledge to do the job yourself, there's another option: foam crown molding. It's available in inside and outside and straight wall pieces. Simply count the corners in your room, measure the walls for the required length of straight molding, and place your order. Foam crown molding often comes finished in bright white, so as soon as the package arrives, you are ready to go.
Instructions
1. Apply adhesive in a continuous "S" pattern to the backs and tops of the corner pieces. Press the pieces firmly to the wall. Hold them place for at least 30 seconds in order for the adhesive to bond with the wall.
2. Measure the distances along the walls between the corner pieces and make a note of the lengths.
3. With a kitchen knife, cut the straight molding to the lengths required to fit the distances between the corner pieces.
4. Apply adhesive in a continuous "S" pattern to the back and top of the straight molding. Press the molding firmly to the wall and ceiling. Hold the piece in place for at least 30 seconds. Depending on the length of the molding, you might need two people to hold the piece in place while the adhesive bonds.
