In order to cut molding properly, you will need the right tools and the right amount of patience. There may be many reasons why you would want to cut your molding while it is still on the wall. For example, you may be trying to fit a piece of furniture against the wall and the molding is getting in the way. The extra couple inches that the molding takes up may be too much for you and you will need to cut a section away in order to make your furniture sit flush against the wall. If this is the case, then you will be happy to know that you do not need to take entire sections of molding down to cut it. Below is a full step by step instruction list on how to cut the molding while still attached to the wall. Continue reading below Our Video of the Day
Step 1 - Clean the Molding
Before you start to cut through the molding, clean it to make sure you have removed any dust or grime that may be on the molding. Just use a gentle cleaner or a little soap and water with a damp cloth. Step 2 - Mark the Molding
Using a fine pencil, mark the location on the molding where you want to make the cuts. Measure it a couple times to make sure you are as accurate as possible with the piece that you want to remove.
