alrighty, crown molding is all done. ;0) i like it, WEEEEEE!!!!!
bought a brad nail gun at Harbor Frieght for 15 bucks. yeah take that Lowe's....phhhsssttt 59 on sale my butt! and this one does both nails and staples. didn't jamb once, worked like a champ. i used 18G 2" brad nails. worked perfect and you can't see the nail holes hardly at all. my cuts were so good i may not have to use wood filler in the corners at all. its pretty tight. and my butt joints were pretty good at my transitions.
i've never done crown molding before and i tell you it took a bit of practice to get things to work right, but after a bit i was cutting and hanging faster than i could think...it was second nature.
