How the Pros Cope – Coping a DIY Perspective

Published on December 28, 2012 by in Tools

Well it has been about 8 months since I started my kitchen floor project and I am in the home stretch.  All I have to do is put the trim molding up.  I have learned a quite a few things during this project.  Things like Frog tape doesn’t always work, and walls are NEVER straight.  I have been mitering my inside corners, but now Eric tells me I should cope the corners instead.  Everything I do seems to work against me, the nailer leaves dents in the trim, the caulk gets all over the place.  The Frog tape rips the paint off the wall, then I tape the trim to paint the wall and it rips the paint off the trim… ARGH  Will I ever stop painting!  I came across this video on Youtube of Professionals in action. they make it look so easy!  I need a Copemaster.

    I starting using my M12 rotary tool to cope the detail in my Crown. It works great. Give it a try Dan!

    I re-painted, re-trimmed, and tiled all my wet areas last year. I had every one of these same problems and then some. Glad it’s over.
