How Do I Fix Crown Molding Gaps

After crown molding installation, there is usually a large gap between the crown molding and the wall or ceiling. Latex caulk is a good way to fill these gaps. Spread a bead of caulk along the gap with a caulk gun. Smooth the caulk with your finger and let the caulk dry overnight.

How do you fill a large gap between crown molding and ceiling?

You can fix ceiling molding gaps temporarily in the winter by caulking the crack. Do this when the gap is the largest and use the most expensive flexible caulk you can buy.

How can I hide the gap between my ceiling and crown molding?

You can minimize the appearance of the gap by simply squeezing in some silicone caulk between the molding and the ceiling. Unfortunately, it may leave some excess caulk once you apply it. However, you can remedy this by taking a damp cloth and wiping away the excess (use mineral spirits with silicone caulk).
