You can minimize this movement you speak of by painting the wood on all sides and cut edges before it is installed. The paint slows the intake of water vapor to some degree.

Be careful using a method like this. As the seasons change, the wood will expand and contract.

Thanks for that clarification.

The machine is a moulder, not a shaper.

oversize the cut by a fraction so once fitted it bows slightly, squeeze it in and glue it.....hold it in position with blocks or clamps if possible --else use a finishing gun with 18gauge pins or simple panel pins.........or just hold it in place for 3hrs waiting for the glue to go off ..choice is your on how perfect you want it.

I take my time cutting the mitered joints and check for fit before nailing. It is best to use scrap, cheaper trim to test fit angles. Once you get a good fit, then use the same cuts on the expensive trim. I also prefer using nail guns.

Hi Tim, great info. How do I attach moldings, to a solid wall, so it looks perfect? thanks
