    if the molding is laying flat (i am making a giant frame to go around my bathroom mirror) would i just cut the molding standing straight up?

    OMG. Thank you Thank you Thank you. As a novice DIYer and first time homeowner this was exactly what I was looking for. Worked impeccably. I am so proud of the results which I was struggling with until I found your record. Thanks again.

    Sorry you don’t agree. This technique worked fantastic for me and many others who have seen the record! This is really meant for the DIY novice. I’m sure a coping saw works fantastic also if done right.

    Surrounded by corners should be done using a coping saw my friend. No wall has an exact 90 degree angle. You will find over time that attempting to cut surrounded by corners this way never holds up because homes shift and go. The caulk dries out and breaks… its just not right…
