Can I use caulk and spackling in molding gaps/?
I just put up some crown moldings and getting ready to start finishing them and painting. I most of my joins are pretty good, but I have some larger gaps (max 1/4 inch) in the corners where they meet at 90 degrees.
My question is should I use caulk to fill the majority of the gap and then cover over with spackling (polyfilla). I want to maintain the finish of the molding and I understand this can be done with filler once it is dried and you can sand it. also, I don't want any signifcant cracking to appear down the road. The reason I don't want to use caulking in the large gaps is for loss of detail and bascially making the imperfection still noticeable.
any advise would be appreciated.
thanks

2 AnswersOther - Home & Garden1 decade agoHelp with Installing a stair runner?
I have recently purchased a runner to put on my stairs. Is it necessary to use glue, carpet pads and tackless strips when installing? Can I get away with just using staples? The stairs in my home are old and I plan to replace them in the next couple of years. The house is 60 years old and I assume the stairs are the original ones that were constructed in the house. The reason I am asking this is that I plan to take the runner up within the next couple of years to replace the ugly stairs and I think it would be more difficult to take it up if I used glue.
Thanks,

So I used my ipod this morning, everything was fine. Turned it off and turned it on again after lunch on the way home from work and everything on it was gone. I had 4400 songs on it and now there is 0. I never plugged it into anything in the time that I wasn't using it, it was just turned off sitting in my coat pocket. Has this happened to anyone else?
