You can buy dental glue from a Pharmacist, its quite expensive but I have one on hand in case my crown falls out and to tide me over till I can get to the dentist.

I read also that some guy couldn't find an NHS dentist (UK) so he used super glue every two months instead.

Note: It's spelled molding in US, moulding in UK.

You don't use glue to put up previous crown moulding.

You only use glue when placing new crown / the glue is used on the joining of the corners or for joining seams at center points or for your finish capped ends.

if you want to replace the hanging crown-- find where the stud is behind the drywall-- this is what you will use to anchor your crown moulding-- most of the time the nails or nail holes in the wall are the tel tale signs of where a stud will most likely be.

now drill a hole with a 3/32 drill bit and make sure you are lined up with a stud-- and make sure you are either slightly above or below the previous nail hole.

if you are lined up with a stud-- place a 2. 1/2 inch finishing nail in the hole you drilled and begin to hammer gently until you feel the nail enter the stud / and until the head of the nail is still at least 1/16 of an inch visible.

to finish-- use a hole punch to lower the nail head below the wood surface

and fill the nail hole with DAP window glazing and wait for the glazing to harden for a day before sanding the trim and painting.

How to paint using a Power painter on crown molding?

First, when painting crown molding, you will need to find an out of the way place for painting in. This place must fit the following criteria... * have sufficient square footage to accommodate all of the crown molding laid out flat and allow room for you to safely reach every inch of every stick. (painting crown molding is difficult if you can't reach it) * is totally dry. Do Not let your painted crown molding sit outside over night where it is vulnerable to dew or fog. * is safe from air born dust, dirt, leaves etc. Cover the entire floor space with painters plastic and lay out the crown molding in rows. For easy painting of your crown molding, it's best to group the rows in three to five sticks depending on your arm length. Also it is much easier to paint if they are raised up off the ground. I use buckets and 2x4s to do this. If you crown molding is white already then it is primered, you can skip that step. If not you will need to apply a coat of primer to seal the molding. No need to go very thick with it, one coat will do. Once dry, sand the primer coat lightly.Applying Paint:Generously apply the paint to two sticks at a time. Keep the spray nozzle consistently at the same distance from the crown molding (read the instructions on the box for the exact space)Repeat the process for all the sticks and apply a second coat once dry.


Crown Molding Adds Style to a Room?

Crown molding adds style and a finished touch to rooms that need a little help with decor. Crown molding is the topmost molding that is installed where the wall meets the ceiling and adding it can change the look and feel of a room instantly. There are many types of crown molding available in various woods and synthetic materials like Styrofoam and plastic. With new lighter weight materials, installing crown molding is no longer a tedious job for a carpenter and can be a home project that the homeowner can do with some direction and skill. Choosing The Crown Molding Crown molding is available in many different designs and heights, so the style of the room is important. Tips for selecting the right crown molding for the space: * Ceiling height - the lower the ceiling height, the simpler and smaller the molding. Adding a heavy, ornate crown molding to a room with an 8’ ceiling is not a good idea because crown molding will visually lower the ceiling height. Keep it simple and small for low ceilings. Heavy, decorative molding is great for ceiling heights above 10’ that can afford the loss of height. * Room style - coordinate the style and feeling of the room with the style of the crown molding. If the house is extremely modern, a heavy, decorative traditional molding will not blend well with the decor and will visually detract from the simple image and feel of the modern space. * Finish - decide on paint or stain. The finish should coordinate and complement the decor in the room. If stain is better, crown molding is available in a variety of woods such as pine, poplar, oak, maple and cherry. If paint is better, wood or synthetic moldings are appropriate, but the synthetics like foam, Styrofoam or mdf are much lighter, cheaper and easier to install. Making The Purchase * Estimating material - measure around the room on the floor or the wall. Measure each wall length, then total it and add another 10 - 15% for waste. Crown molding comes in precut lengths: wood moldings are usually in 12’ or 16’ lengths; foam moldings are 8’. Example: if all 4 walls (15’ each) total 60’ + 15% waste (addl. 9’) = 69’ needed. If the molding comes in 8’ lengths: 69 divided by 8 = 8.625 pieces - round up to 9 pieces. * Delivery - remember that crown molding comes in precut lengths, the smallest is 8’. Most local companies will allow customer pickups, but if you can’t accommodate the sizes it’s best to schedule a delivery. Most local companies will deliver materials either free or for a nominal charge.

What is best way to nail crown molding?

Crown molding is used for different end results. If you are using it for baseboards you will use a stud sensor to locate the studs in the wall and than shoot the molding into the wall with a finish nail that is long enough to secure it through the sheetrock into the wooden stud. If the molding is used around doors you don't need a stud sensor. There are studs framing in the opening. Most door openings are framed in two inches bigger than the prehung door. This allows the installer the ability to slide in the door, shim it to level, and than shoot it in. That is why you should have no trouble shooting in molding around a door. If the molding is used in furniture there is a wooden cleat behind the molding that you can shoot into with a finish nail. You will than fill in the hole left with a finish nail with putty.

first you have to remover the center strip molding on the main windshield molding. located in the center.spliced ends are at the bottom of the windshield always. pull it out by hand once you pop the end out. use a thin putty knife to make sure any sealant is loose. starting at a corner, slowly push out and work the molding under the edge of the windshield. DO NOT PRY ON THE WINDSHEILD. if you force it by prying under it , you will crack or break the edges. push out on it from the inside. usually works best by pushing the putty knife at the right angle so that the outer molding is being push away and up from the windshield. once you get it started, you'll see how easy it comes out. to replace, put the glass in the track starting from the bottom and work your way up both sides.
