    Gaps in crown molding
    Is it best to caulk the gaps between crown molding and the ceiling/wall before painting or after painting?

    Thanks.

    And wait for caulk to dry/set completely to avoid hairline cracks in paint finish, and even if caulking is the same color, i.e. white ,it can change color in less than a month from uv exposure etc.
