You should do a segment on how to shim and correct gaps that can occur.

Because a standard protractor is a semi-circle. The different test pieces cut at 43, 44 and 45 degrees for inside corners are the way to go. You keep them in a bucket and use them forever. Cut 45, 46 and 47 degrees for outside-corner test pieces.

I cover this in past columns about crown molding at my Ask the Builder website.

Why wouldn't you just use a protractor to determine the actual angle of the corner??

Nice tip, I am not sure what the termonolgy is but lets say that was in inside corner, how would you do a outside corner for those rooms that are not retangular in shape but have that tricky corner in a L shaped room.
