Adjust the saw to a 45 degree angle to make the corner cuts on both the baseboard and crown molding.

  Nail the cut pieces of molding into place on the wall with a nail gun. Continue measuring, cutting and nailing the molding in place until you are finished.

  Fill the nail holes with wood putty. Caulk the gap between the wall and the molding. Allow the caulk and putty to dry overnight.
- 5
  Paint or stain the Evertrue crown or baseboard molding.
