Framing Fiasco!
Mollie February 13th, 2007 Show
I bought what I thought was two sets of two white painted wood molding in eight foot pieces – for frames. Unfortunately, when I opened the package I discovered that they were not the same molding, but two totally different pieces; and that they were not actually wood but vinyl. I tried to make it work, I cut the angles for the frames, but because there weren’t four matching lengths of molding I didn’t have enough to finish. Not to mention that the vinyl doesn’t want to be glued together, and wont hold a staple. Now I have to go back to the hardware store, buy another package of mis-matched molding, and find a glue that works.
I just saw an episode of “This Old House”, where they were doing something with PVC moldings. (They were actually making their own, and didn’t show it being installed)
Perhaps that’s what you got?
If it is, some PVC cement from over in the plumbing section ought to work. Test it on some of the scraps you have left over. Otherwise, I’d go for overkill with two-part epoxy.
