Caulk the seams in your molding.
Crown molding is a lovely accent to a room, but changes in temperature or house settling will cause the molding to shift and move over time. This creates a noticeable "crack." Fortunately, it's easy to repair. It is not always necessary to pay a professional to repair these areas. Use a caulk gun and a tube of caulk to instantly restore the molding to its original condition.
Instructions
1. Wipe your crown molding with the clean cloth to remove any dust or dirt.
2. Cut the end off the caulk tube at a 45-degree angle, using the built-in cutter on the caulk gun.
3. Puncture a hole in the tube, using the puncture wire attached to the caulk gun.
4. Squeeze the trigger of the caulk gun and apply the caulk to the seam at a 45-degree angle. Work slow and steady to ensure a smooth, even caulk line.
5. Run your finger along the line of caulk to fill in all gaps. Wipe over this seam with your wet cloth to remove any excess caulk.
6. Paint the caulk line, using a paintbrush and the same paint originally used to paint the molding.
