The Secret To Perfect Molding Returns [View all]

[LuckyCharms]

I've been installing molding most of my life, but I only learned how to do this 10 years ago when I did my kitchen.

What this is...you want a finished end (instead of a rough looking cut end) on your molding in cases where the piece of molding doesn't terminate into another piece of molding, or terminate into a wall.

You cut a small piece and attach it to the rough cut end so the molding returns into the wall with a finished edge.

It's easy to do once you learn how to do it, but you have to be careful not to cut your fingers off.

I'm posting this in case anyone might be interested in this type of thing, like I am. I've done this on baseboard, cove molding, and even quarter-round.
