Crown molding

[Cake_Boss]

I'm putting some crown molding on my canopy. I bought the pre-made corners, the issue is that they sit 1/8" further than the rest of the crown. To me, it looks terrible. Is there a way to raise the rest of the crown to match the corners? Should I sand down the corners? Should I take back the corners and use the saw to cut the crown? Will Lowes take back the corners if there are finish nails through them?

if you need help let me know I do all my crown in my house and on my tanks

Do I add a slim piece of wood behind the crown? Or ditch the pre-made corners and use the miter saw to make new ones?

 

[Bajamike]

I personally don't like the pre-made ones

 

[Cake_Boss]

Ok, I'm ditching those.

I have a miter saw, it's that all I need to cut the crown to the right angles?

I was told finish nails and a tap to actually mount the crown. I'll then plaster over the holes and paint. Is that all?

chop saw, sanding blocks, patients and a finish nailer are a must. almost impossible to get the corners right without a nail gun

arg, maybe I'm in need of more help than I thought.

I have all the necessary tools if you want some help.

Ya I just use white/clear caulk to cover the finishing nails, I have a brad nailer so it goes quick.....Up to you you can bring it down or I can come up and we can knock it out in like 30 min.

I am going to do the crown on mine this weekend

I prefer 3-M 2 part resurfacer, or lightweight spackle as neither will shrink.
