      You don't have a festool miter saw? Most homes have 3.

    Now the reason I’m having you put the blue tape below the brackets is because you and your husband took 6 hours to hang two brackets. We don’t have all day and I doubt you guys will screw this one up

    I am buying a new home and thinking of installing this type of crown molding up. I like how the molding clips to the brackets. I have been looking but so far unable to find this design. All the ones I see either tape or caulking. Do you have a manufactures name I can look up ? Thank you kindly.

    I think this is a solution without a problem. pressed wood molding isn't hard to work with and goes up in seconds. A solid miter saw and a tape measure and I can put crown molding in a house in an hour or two.

    Why wasn’t a coped joint needed on the inside corners like you normally do?

    • @smalltinydove
      @smalltinydove ปีที่แล้ว

      Because he used the angle tool to find the exact corner angle and the foam material is not at risk of shrinking over time

    • @smalltinydove

      @mdlee52 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The one he used is a Festool brand that is included with the Festool Kapex miter saw he was using. Amazon sells them for about $155. Starrett makes a nice miter saw protractor for about $120 cheaper.

  • @petemclinc
    @petemclinc 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This foam crown molding system is targeted to the homeowner DYI market. It is really less than desirable for a professional installation. Foam is lightweight and stable but doesn't really allow for an ideal appearance such as coped corners and scarfed joints which lessen the chances of gaps developing over time due to movement. I always try to avoid egg & dart patterns since they are difficult to align, I prefer dental patterns.

    • @3613jeremy
      @3613jeremy 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      petemclinc I couldn't agree more but even as a home owner my self I'll take wood every time I've used this stuff twice thinking it would look good and is half the price of real wood put like you said it was gaps galore specially around the windows and doors and in my opinion it's not as forgiving as wood is I do like the snap in idea but this is the first I've seen of it and doubt they have such a thing for door and window framing or corner pieces

    • @boxsterman77
      @boxsterman77 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's so good to know that, despite the product filling a particular market niche, you would have none of it. And I'm relieved to learn of your dental pattern preference.e

    • @nolanbarger3418
      @nolanbarger3418 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Looks great when I installed it in my house. That being said, I had a few small gaps. I just used caulk and a sponge and the results looks professional. I’ve had nothing but compliments on the finished result.

    • @guyderrick3315
      @guyderrick3315 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      My thinking is maybe the foam is stable but the house not so much. From my experience wood is the best, it expands and contracts the same as a wood framed house.

  • @VC-Toronto
    @VC-Toronto 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    At 7:37 when he marks the underside of the molding, you need to then deduct half the pencil width. If you don't, the crown will "run long" by half a pencil width, likely throwing off the angle, and leaving a gap at the outside corner, and the last piece against the wall.

    Fence of wall cut it on saw, saw as ceiling to hide for caulking marks ceiling prep... cut vs compound mitor... same for 45 or other corner cuts it fastestbutton up like a tie for first timers. Tie trim base call it Texas! aching dart beader that’s your words boss. Upside down measure (explains inside video) 1/8 longer tight fits like a fraction chart.
    Caulked then wiped with clean rag!
    Molding register cutting for fits dummy cut for big eyes 1/8 marked, fraction tight for patent egg dart or art would work boss? What meets the eye is the egg and dart or art patent boss.

    This is nice but I don't like the idea that you are installing Styrofoam. It is bad for the environment. It may look nice today but when the home owner or some one else purchases the house and wants/needs to change it the Styrofoam will end up in the landfill and from what I have heard is that it can't be recycled.
