How can I fix seams in crown molding?




The home we purchased has crown molding throughout. It seems that over the past year it has started to separate at the seams. How can I fix this properly and permanently?

Hello Elizabeth,
Fill with Poly filler - Rub down when - Decorate
If the seams are small enough, I would just use a paintable caulk. Make sure it is paintable as some kinds aren't. Then touch up paint if you need to (sometimes white caulk on white molding isn't super noticeable)
YOU CAN PURCHASE CAULK OR PUTTY STICK TO FILL IN THE CRACKS AND HAVE IT BLEND IN TO THE REST.
