Installation Instructions

for Glue On Crown Moldings

Improper installation will void any applicable warranty.

Bull Adapter

Step 2: On a wall section where two
pieces of crown molding need to be
joined, it is easier to cut the miters first
and leave the straight butt joint as the
last cut. When using Crown Molding
with Bullnose, use Bull Adapters as
shown above.

Step 1: If required by local codes, paper tape or fire tape the inside corner prior to installing the
crown molding. Always wear safety glasses when using miter saws or spray adhesive. If
necessary, attach some plywood to the miter saw so the part is supported as shown. Break your
saw to the left for a right inside or left outside corner. Break your saw to the right for a left inside or
right outside corner. For additional support, place the foam spacer pieces near the blade. Use a
fine tooth cross cut blade. To ensure accuracy, make the miter cuts slowly. Typically a 90º inside
or outside corner will require setting the miter saw to 45º. Most corners are rarely a true 90º so you
may need to adjust the angle and make some practice cuts first.

Step 3: You must apply a ½" bead of high quality
white paintable adhesive caulk, such as Trim-Tex
700/710 caulk or Big Stretch from Sashco, along
the top grove of the Crown Molding and on the back
leg groove.

Step 4: Starting at any miter joints, carefully install the crown molding
taking care to keep the product square to minimize gaps at miter joints.
Apply pressure to the bead along the top edge to bond the crown
molding to the ceiling and then pressure along the bottom to bond the
lower flange to the wall.

Step 5: Wipe excess caulk that squeezed out from the top flange. Then caulk along the top edge of the crown molding, the
inside and outside corners and any butt joints.

. In extreme settling or

movement conditions, the caulk may crack along the edge of the Crown Molding. Re-caulk as needed.

Paint the crown molding with a high quality latex paint

Trim-Tex 700/710 Caulk or
Big Stretch along the grooves
