Crown molding

Asked Jan 19, 2006, 08:22 AM — 3 Answers
Question 1 What type of nails do I use for the real wood crown molding?
Question 2 How do I measure the angle, in degrees, of my ceiling? It is something other than 90 or 45? I was hoping to use something simpler than Trig functions.

I use an airgun for crown moulding.

As for the angle, it would be 45 degrees - unless vaulted.

The Nails you Need To You Should Be No Shorter Than 2 1/2 Air Gun Nails,
A Standard Inside And Outside Miter Are 45 Cuts.
Remember You Have To Cut Crown Upside Down And Backwards, And Bed It In The Mitersaw Correctly, Good Luck Nichols Trim
