I am installing 4 5/8 crown molding (38 degrees) in my upstairs hallway. Everything is been going fine except for some odd corners, which I was able to figure the angle with a plumbers tape and the miter and bevil setting from Dewalt online. Anyway, one of my pieces wasn't fitting at all. After a few minutes of frustration I figured out that there was about an inch change in the cieling of that wall. Now the wall is only 48 inches long, so I was using one piece. I guess with a longer wall you could firmly nail in one side and then bend in the other, but that doesn't work with the short piece.
Any suggestions? Do I have to warp my damn crown molding to make it fit?
