I want to emphasize the importance of wiping off any of the glue that may squeeze out! It does dry rock hard and is difficult to sand off. If it happens to me I will try and cut it off with a chisel or knife. Best bet is to wipe it off and then learn how to put on the proper amount next time:)

I’ve been remolding houses and roofing for 35yrs, we used to order our casings pre-made at the factory and all we had to do was pop them on and nail in place. I’m remodeling my kitchen right now, we have open walkthroughs and a window that wasn’t being replaced, so I was just going to trim them out. Being an older home everything’s out of square and not level, so it takes forever to get a tight 45. I’m so glad I ran across this video a few weeks ago (subscribed at that time to your channel) I ordered everything I needed from Amazon. I just did the window and I can’t believe how easy this was, tight 45s and only took a few minutes to install. Thank you so much for this video and making my life easier, it was well worth the $20 for the glue. I enjoy your videos very much, 35yrs doing this and I still pick up tips from your videos

This is a great technique to make art frames. My dad is an oil painter and loves multilayered trimmed frames. I will definitely try the CA glue combo and wax paper technique. Thanks!

It's been a delight being subbed to your channel.... hope you and the ones you love have had a perfect Summer of 2023

Been using this two part glue for a while now, it's called 'Mitre Mate' here in the UK and as you've demonstrated, a great product, easy to use and super strong.

Ha!! Wax paper!!! I carried wax paper to put in between the hollow core doors when I was gluing the bottom rails back in. Figured that out after gluing a couple doors together.

Oh, man!!! I realized how much I missed your videos!!!! I had gone offline for a bit, and today, over coffee, I decided, “Let’s see what I’ve been missing … “ your video popped up on the queue, and I was instantly Smiling and Happy. Thank you!

Such a beautiful result! Really love the result you showed briefly in this video and in previous videos, it looks amazing! I will try and remember this for when we remodel next time. Thanks for sharing this tip! ❤

I like this method, I use it too. But you have to appreciate the fact that the finish you got on that mitre had something to do with the decor as well!

Great video ..!!
I’ve been using CA for years but still prefer wood glue for casings because it can be sanded. We always hand sand joints, but CA is rock hard and doesn’t sand so you may see the squeeze out or even the wipe in the finish.
CA is wonderful product and has many used in carpentry. It makes our job much quicker.

CA Glue + Activator is a great secret weapon to have for all sorts of things in the workshop / home. I love they make the different thinknesses for different jobs. Fastcap make a great started kit with 4 thicknesses (Gel is new - thicker than thick), plus they have a "de-activator" as well as the activator. Good for cleanups. Comes in a nice case too. Just got one for my workshop at school.

For my first 40 years as a trim carpenter I used a 1/4" reveal on my door and window trim. About 10 years ago I narrowed it up to about 3/16". Easier to eyeball on the install and looks just as nice if not nicer than the 1/4". And for paint grade miters, I use Titebond Premium wood glue and hog ring clamps for a super tight and permanent joint. Preassemble the door pieces or window pieces as a unit, let it set up, then install. Remove the clamps and you've got a great bit of trim.

Always great content. The wax paper tip alone is worth a thumbs up.

[brianb]

Nice tip with the wax paper, i usually use Collins clamps also,

I have ALWAYS wanted to make a carpenter cry! Thank you for showing me how! 😂

Great application a ca glue. You’re the best! 🇨🇦👍

[PaiviProject]

Hey, that was some great tips. We have upcoming trim work ahead of us, so all the help & tips are welcome 👍👍

[marissaburg]

These are super useful tips. I have been attempting to make a picture frame and use a chop saw for my miter cuts but the corners are still not lining up completely perfectly. The mitered edges I’m gluing together are an inch and half tall (floating frame for a canvas). Any tips on how to get a more accurate mitered edge?

Thinking this might work well for cabinet crown. Project coming up where I'll try it. Thanks for the video!
