- Hey Gang! For the LONGEST time we have been putting our trim together with wood glue and nails, and for years you have commented and pleaded that we try CA Glue.. well the time has FINALLY come! We were able to get our hands on some and let us tell you...it is incredible stuff. CA Glue makes trim work a breeze and actually quite fun. So much so that we were a little sad when it was all over, and we're looking forward to our next trim work job! Thanks for all the recommendations and encouragement Gang! Thanks for all the support and We'll see ya in the next one!

I learned from Finish Carpentry TV, that you can spray the activator on the opposite piece from the glue if you want to get the full 8-10 seconds to set your pieces together. If you do it that way, the glue won't start to set until the 2 pieces are actually touching each other.
Is that not what he's doing?
@@M4ng03z looked like he was spraying the piece with the gel.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he did. I'm going to have to go back and check now...
Yup, that is indeed what he did. He did it correctly.
@Paul Giles … Great Comment/Tip
**Upon official review, he did it separately, correctly.
Was in construction my whole life and i can tell you this guy is the real deal. Guess i need to subscribe, this be the only construction channel i can watch with out yelling your doing it wrong.
Paul is a construction beast. A god amongst mortals
CA glue is awesome! It will give out long term though. If you use it on the ends with wood glue in between, the CA glue holds it tight while you install it and the wood glue dries for the long term strength. Best of both worlds! That’s what I’ve been doing anyway, with the great success!
Sorry we haven’t posted in a few days Gang! We’re working on some big things behind the scenes! Enjoy this half hour video this weekend!!
I enjoyed every second. I do the same type of work, but I'm always down for some knowledge. Ive been using ca for a long time, but I loved the lighting install. You guys can work on my job any day.
@@mim2046 Thats pretty funny. I'm glad I don't have to work with you.
@@mim2046 Classy comment! I bet nobody likes working with you.
@@mim2046 bro what? These men do everything perfectly.. I’m willing to bet you couldn’t cut a straight line with a tracksaw
Dropping a video when you have the content is fine
Too much means you'll be struggling to put together enough if you start punting them out at set times during the week
Long or short, I'll watch, if only to ree how things are done 😁
I especially liked the diagram explanation, and also the chop saw fault finding, so I'd be happy to watch more of that, if only to let the kids know stuff that they claim gets boring for them 🤣🤣🤣
Cabinet maker here...been using 2P -10 for 15 years....
Must mention that it is the activator that does the trick and hardest to obtain...
..it works with all super glues, Gorilla Glue gel glue, loctite super glue E.T.C.
These glues are available everywhere but the Activator is not
So do you use the activator with those other glues as well ?
Thanks
I read somewhere that 70% IPA "rubbing alcohol, unscented" works as activator. Test it on some scrap pieces???
I just use regular tap water. Ever tried washing ca glue off your hand? It just hardens immediately. Same deal when you use it like an activator.
@@mattaudia4968 i have a bottle, on mist setting, and yes, filled with tap water. works the same from what i can tell. instantly hardens super glue (CA) and makes the Gorilla glue foam up and locks whatever thats touching it! tap water, poor mans activator......
The 2p-10 isn't the only CA glue activator ever made you know.
If you have trouble obtaining it, you're looking in the wrong places, but I can give you a really good place to look.
You know what hobbies end up using a lot of CA glue (and therefore activator)?
Building stick-built balsa aircraft models (the kind that are always meant to fly).
Additionally, scale model building goes thru a great variety of different adhesives, including CA glue (and its activator).
So, my idea is to go to the nearest book store and pick up either an RC aircraft magazine or a scale model building magazine (Or both, since you're only gonna be out like maybe $20 for both), and look thru the advertisements.
You're guaranteed to find several companies offering not just CA glue, but many other kinds of adhesives and potentially useful small tools.
These Guys ROCK!!!! I asked for the link to this video about the 2 second adhesive??? And They Replied!!!! THIS is something that you do "NOT" get from the majority of RUclips Channels. They are more concerned with views than actually interacting with their viewers!!! NOT the case with Stud Pack!!! Way to Go STUD PACK!!!!
Been working as a finish carpenter for a while now, I dont want to boohoo on this awesome tool, but for anything long term make sure you use wood glue too! 2P will crystallise and crack with age!
could you do both on the piece? 2P for quick setup but alternate with some wood glue for long term hold?
I have been installing high end for 11 years and never had a problem with mitre bond and always use it. honestly i feel like people just use such a small bead that this can accrue
It's really refreshing to see a channel that owns up to it's mistakes or shortcomings and is so open to learn new things! This is probably the 10th video I've watched of your channel and I'm really enjoying it.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Glad you've got that injury on your hand looked at too 👍👍👍👍
I binge watched your kitchen and diniing room remodel series of 22. It's clear you can teach an old dog new tricks. The old dog just needs to be open to new ideas. We stop learning when we think we know everything. Great job modeling openness.
Cocky, very cocky. Good fix out of this vid. wonderful stuff. I'm 80 yrs. this year, I'd do it all over again. never ending learning process. thanks, guys. As it is I am still working. Putting up two decks w/ roofs interior cabs so forth.
Keep on keeping on. "A rolling stone gathers no moss."
Good for you! I am a 65 year old woman who has been building and remodeling myself since I was 17 and helped my dad starting when I was 5 years old. I am remodeling my house now and selling it to build my last and final home. It is a passion and I don’t know if I will ever stop. Or at least I hope I have many many years left in me. My hubby and I have always helped single and widowed women who need repairs done. I get them materials at wholesale and we don’t charge them to do the work, we also teach them so they at least know how things should be done so they won’t get taken advantage of if they do have to pay for something in the future.
Get ‘em, pops! Stay grinding.
Thomas and Johnette I hope you both make it past 100 and can still do what you love doing.
Using the end of the fence is a great tip. Charles
If you install a fascia from the top of the cabinet to the ceiling then you can install the crown up to the ceiling. Then there wouldn't be a space from the crown to the ceiling for dust to accumulate and a custom look.
This. But you never know if the customers budget allowed all that extra work.
That bothered me too that looks so annoying to clean and you might accidentally break your crown moulding.
On cabinets that have a side reveal like these do, I normally rip a small scribe moulding to shim the side of the cabinet flush with the reveal for crown, painted to match before installation. When doing it this way, your miters end up flush with the corner of the face frame instead of being inset from the corners. It's a cleaner look, and I do the same thing for the skirt moulding. Great job on the trim and lighting, guys! Happy that you finally jumped on the 2P-10 train... It's amazing, for sure. I use a similar product from Starbond, as I find it to have greater strength, less odor, and comes in 6 different viscosities for different uses. I also use Hy-PUR for heavier trim, casing, etc. as it gives an even stronger bond than any CA glue.
When doing under cabinet lighting, I usually try to put the lights as far forward as possible, facing towards the wall, so they reflect more light off the backsplash and are easier on the eyes as they don't reflect straight into the face.
Cool stuff thx Al 👍👊
Good idea about light placement
Thanks for this lighting tip Al.
I’m going to flip my undercabs around so they face the wall. I don't like the way the light projects from them now. I'd like to make the switch to LED too - maybe it's time for some new lights. Guess I'll have to head to the store - darn 🙂
100% on the scribe for the corners. That or 3/4x1/4x11.25 pieces of filler. The reveal also give you a tiny bit more play on the back end of corners
I very much appreciate what you said about the location of lighting. I'm a master electrician in Canada and I used to as an apprentice install lights in the center. But now that I know better 25 years later😜, I install the UCL on the back side of the valance trim if I can, but if not then I install it as close to the trim as possible so as not to have that reflection or hotspot you talked about. Did a few UCL installs where a chanel is routed in the bottom of cabinets. Looked so clean and sexy!!?
I really enjoy your videos. I am 78 years old and still learning. Thanks
Old Man's comedic words on the fly: "Oh Well, LOL....SOL!"
Pure genius, I will be using this in the future where applicable 👊😁
Glue a short piece of dowel on the back of your outside corner and it’ll be super strong.
Yes!!!!
Great idea! No crazy angles to figure.
Great tip. Thank you Dave!
I do a couple daps of CA glue if I'm worried about the strength. There's some variants that are slightly more flexible. Esp if you do +- corners
Nice Job guys..
Pro tip; #84
On the under cabinet led lights. You can put the cable connector backwards in the knock out to save room and it looks better, without the 2 screws that clamp the wire showing.
Keep up the great work.

Hey Paul, that trick with the blue painters tape is pretty cool, definitely will use that on this next kitchen remodel we're doing...thx brother...We've done quite a bit of those small returns like that too...Also, the 2P-10 is def an awesome product and game changer for crown...😉
You taught me a new process to doing woodworking. That is amazing. Even old-timers can learn something new. Old dog new tricks. Thank you. I have ordered some for myself. I'm following you from now on. 😊
HAHA "LOL SOL" thats great, spoken like an experienced man
Lots of good tips here! Thank you. I'll throw you one back- get the Wago 221 connectors instead of the 222. Better in every way. I prefer them over wire nuts especially when mixing solid and stranded wire.
also great for sticking 2 things together. blue tape on each, CA glue in the middle and you have a strong temporary bond. great for templating etc.
Damn, great idea!
Best crown molding clinic ever.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Set your roofing square on your bench. Use it to help line up the crown when using the ca glue. Also put a dab of regular glue in the joint to help reinforce the joint. You could also glue small blocks to the back of the joint with ca glue for added peace of mind.
Silky makes a slightly larger pull saw if you want to trim your cabinet frames from across the room. I'm a noob so I just keep a folding 4" flush cut in my belt.
CA is a great tool but has no flex. Hybrid gluing will help keep you from having to fix opened corners from seasonal changes. Tite-3 is great to run with CA to get the best of both. Thanks for the great videos.
Hey Guys, another great video. "The Mitred Crown Affair...a well hung job... featuring Stud Pack! CA glue for the'W' ! " A tip I use when doing a delicate saw cut is put a piece of masking tape over the teeth at the end of the saw so it won't scratch the finished surface.
Cool thx Bob 👍
Your clever title is subtle tribute to the 1968 movie or the 1999 remake. Nice touch.
@@thomasottvideos Thanks!
As another viewer mentioned, create a block to fit the moulding (any moulding) into to make a perfect fit 90 degree join. No more guessing. I'd also consider using the 2P-10 to glue the trim to the cabinet. if it sets up too fast at least use some carpenter's glue? Another excellent video Paul! Love the close-up work Jordan is doing.
Liquid on 1 side, activator on the other piece... then you have 10 seconds from squish. Or mix in baking soda with regular superglue, not only does it speed up the set time but doubles as a filler for micro-voids
I have been using 2 P10 for about 7 years now and do a crazy amount of crown. It is a great product how ever you do not get 10 seconds of working time. Once the glued side touches the activator side you better have it where you want it. Game over.
If you need time to move it don't use the activator at all just the glue and hold for 20 - 30 seconds as recommended.
Warm light, as photographer, is what's used to make food look more delicious. So, yes, good for kitchen's too.
I do a lot of new construction kitchens (2-3 a week, some weeks) and I use a Dewalt DHS790.
It's a 12 inch, dual bevel slidered with battery or corded power. It has a very bright LED light that casts a very accurate kerf shadow line where you cut. The saw itself is very powerful, even when it is using the 2 flexvolt batteries.
Love your guy's channel. Keep up the good work!
that miter cut was cool. that little chunk is the difference between just getting by and making it right.
I found if the nail blows out the side of a piece of wood the pressure is likely not high enough.
Also CA glue activator and debonder have a chemical in them that will dissolve marker, some printed items, and some paints.
Warm light in the winter and cool light light in the summer.
I've never used CA glue either, but the look you gave the camera at 11:05 convinced me to give it a try
Paul is a pro's pro. Always sweatin the details and makin it look awesome!
Thx Roger 👍
Cool 👍
Not only have you learnt new stuff, I see wagos 👍👍👍
Love your work, dad and son team, if I may make a suggestion instead of notching the face frame to accommodate the crown and light rail , add a piece of scribe molding to make up the difference easy and faster, that’s how I do it, but I used to do the same notch method
That partial mitered return on the crown came out absolutely beautiful! Looks awesome!
Thx John 👍
Still retro-watching earlier vids. Great content. Excellent presentation. Smooth, tight editing. Very creative. So much fun to watch you two. 🙏🏻
Dewalt dws779. Killer saw.
Way to be brave! Good for you for not dismissing new ideas just because you are already so skilled. And man, you are skilled, detailed, and the definition of a professional!
Look at the "Old Dog" still learning new tricks and younger dog is learning as well. Nice work guys!
That is so slick on how to cut crowns... Thank you so much for showing the logic of it... You guys are such a pleasure to watch & learn from...
I've been using a Dewalt DW716 for years when doing crown. That's all I use it for. Made a L shaped bed/back piece that I bolt onto the saw. Had to drill 4 holes into the fence. Attach your stop on the bottom piece to match your crown size and spring angle and you are all set to go. I unbolt the bed/back piece for transport. Make it as long as you need. Works great.
@Stud pack.
Oh nice little Rockwell plunge cut...
At 45 I received my first one. For my Birthday... this lady loves her tools. Will be 54 in a few weeks and on my second Rockwell.
Nothing like it.
Love watching how to use the new glue.
Dude! Since watching this I’ve started using 2-P-10 on my PVC joints and NO MORE LEAKS! Of course, when my customers ask me what I’m doing, I’m giving you full credit! I can tell they’re just jealous by the look on their faces! Thank you! 2-P-10 FOREVER! 😀
The best is that he's got paint remnants and a bandage on his hand! Dude is for real!
Potential help with chipping on miter cuts for the trim pieces... When cutting Melamine, applying painter's tape to the surface before cutting makes a SIGNIFICANT difference in limiting chip out, and I wonder if doing the same thing to trim would have the same effect? Granted, it would take some time to get tape lined up to the contour of the moulding, but the result could be worth the time.
OH! And glad Paul finally went to the doc for his hand! I've been wondering about that but didn't want to prod!
Cool white makes sense down south as the sunlight is cooler closer to the equator. Warm white is a closer match to sunlight up north.
You guys are true professional craftsman, outstanding work !!!
DWS 779 or the Upgraded version which is the DWS 780 it has an XPS shadow light which shines on your cut piece during your cut. Or you could go with the flex-volt 120V cordless dual bevel miter saw but its like $800 I think. Its a bad mf though!
I got the DWS779 its a 12 inch dual bevel. I got this one because it was $350, and I can upgrade it to the DWS780 with a simple kit from online it only cost about $50 for the XPS shadow light.
Basically got me a DWS780 for around $400. Its solid
DWS780 is $500 from the depot right now. Good luck!
Thx Nicky 👍
I work as an electrical apprentice and Kitchler LED tape is all we use for undercab lighting you can get track to install it in and it looks great
Love the Spider at 16:01... LOL !
I did all the crown in our old house (we are now remodeling) and I didn't cope anything but just fiddled with the different corners and got them as close as I could with all the wall imperfections. Boy, going back now and pulling it all out, it was a crap job (20 years ago I did it). Now, with the remodel, we are coping for all of the out-of-square corners and it looks fantastic. I discovered the CA glue option from another channel and it works great as long as the runs are not too long. My son has gotten into the habit of CA gluing them once we put them up in the room even on coped corners to avoid putting any nails near the joint. Much easier. We do go through a bunch of the stuff though. Great video.
New subscriber here. Just found you. I love your tips and tricks and especially the positive energy and enthusiasm between the two of you. Thank you!
To keep from having blowouts when nailing trim or molding try to turn your gun perpendicular to the trim or molding instead of inline.. hope it helps!
Really depends on bevel at sharp end of nail. Look at the bevel, the nail will follow grain just as a chisel will. But pretty much won't go 90º to that. Some go one way, some go the other. Gangster style is not always the best.
Ill add to think about the length of fastener youre shooting, keep your hands at least that far away from the gun.
Its messy when you shoot yourself.
In my opinion Wego is a great four low-voltage stuff as for home use twisting the wire with the right amount of turns done correctly with a wire nut is the best way to go… Wegos are pinch technology which only pinches a very small area of contact as opposed to a wire twisted has more contact area and it’s mechanically stronger if done correctly it’s the best option and it’s been done for years…. Love your show guys… Keep on rockin…
That partial mitered return was slick.
Been a nurse and in the medical field for 20+ years. Yes some people ha s a reaction to one of the 3 antibiotics in Neosporin but it’s pretty rare and the results of a triple abx ointment is great. That being said after two or three days just switch to only Vaseline or Aquaphor. You don’t need the antibiotics after that. Got burned out last year in the medical field, so now I’m doing construction full-time. Was always doing it on the side. Great content, love the channel!!
The only time I ever get a cut or anything infected is if I put any kind of triple antibiotic ointment on it
Cool thx Andrew 👍
The way you write you measurements is exactly how I do I thought I was the only one who did it that way
glad your taking care of that hand, i'm the same, i usualy just let things heal on its own. but sometimes a doc is needed. keep up the good work, you're doing a bang up job.
Thx 👍💪
Paul, you are a brilliant craftsman/artisan! I can't find any like you in E TX Tyler area.
Man the camera is super sharp! Nice work fellas!
You can see the disbalelf when he lets go of the glued cornice 👍
24:00 "Pro Tip," Complete all electrical connections BEFORE you mount fixture to underside of cabinet. Saves you from standing on your head to make hook ups. Same principle when installing an under-sink disposal. Make electrical connection BEFORE you hang that unit. Connections are usually on the bottom, or the back!
I recommend the Festool Kapex miter saw. It’s pricey, but sometimes money doesn’t matter when it’s making you money. I’ve been remodeling homes for 37 years, and got my Festool miter saw about 5 years ago. I love it. Also with the vacuum system, I can set up in my customer’s homes.
By the way, I started using the CA glue about 3 years ago, and I was like you, I couldn’t believe it. It was a game changer.
You have a great channel. You have great ideas, and do fabulous work. I love how you and your son work together. It’s a blessing to have a father and son relationship.
Awesome stuff thx Homer 👍
Next time on a partial return, determine the overall length and make a full return then notch to fit wall : )
I definitely will be doing the partial return like yours on my jobs from now on thanks for all the knowledge you are passing on I'm a 21 year veteran of construction and I. Always learning new ways to do things but what you did is the highest level of trim work that exists
Much appreciated Joe 👍👊
I've been a fan for years and have made so many converts
Keep up the amazing work! Love that under cabinet lighting! I normally just use led strip attached to some flat trim. Awesome video as always!
LED strip/tape lights are the way forward for under cabinet lighting. You can cut the strip to length which suits your job, and it's smaller than the lights used in the video. The strip light comes with an LED driver, so you just connect mains voltage (ie 120 or 230V depending on where you live in the world) to the driver and you're set! For the colour temperature shown in the video, I personally preferred the look of the 4000K, but that may change when it's dark outside...
Really appreciate your sense of quality and do-it-right attitude. All the little detail matter which is what sets you part from others.
Use it to hold a stop block to the miter saw to cut repeated smaller length cuts. Tap it off with your hammer when done. Comes off the metal nice and clean.
One thing I learned to prevent wood chips from sawing is lay a peice of tape down before cutting
Y'all look like some gosh dang professionals! Great job!
lol love the opening haha amazing! so much for youtube darlings
I like to glue the miter, put it together, make sure it’s perfect, then I’ll have someone spray the activator on the closed joint while I hold it together.This gives you more time to make that miter perfect before the glue sets
Cool thx Jacob 👍
Love watching your videos, learn so much. Your video quality and shots are getting better and better, great job 👍🏼
I always procrastinate on the cabinet crown. Lol its never difficult and always is satisfying.
Ooh! I was just looking for 2P10 and wondering and reading about super glue "activator" and, APPARENTLY, you get the 10 seconds by putting the glue on part #1 and spraying the activator on part #2 - THEN put them together so the activator on #2 activates the glue on #1 - I know how well JB Weld works on wood but never would have thought to use super glue ! Looks pretty awesome - and would certainly be a whole lot cleaner. Love your channel! Father and Son - don't see enough of that these days and I enjoy watching people do what they enjoy doing. Especially, the sort of stuff society considers "work".
Try getting into the LED tape world for your under cabinet lights. All the variety your looking for and its cut to size and very low profile. Mounts with a sleek metal chanel and cover. Very clean look.
Power supplies are located in a descret location like inside a cabinet and multiple
Sections can be run to a single power supply.
And another big plus - it is general area lighting - meaning not from a specific point source. That makes a world of difference in eliminating or greatly fading out shadows. I love the stuff
Very enjoyable video ! Tips for woodworking, tips for electrics, another tip here , a bonus tip over there , great video editing , great chemistry between you guys. Big thumbs up !
A little bit of Naptha on a rag will take off pencil marks very quickly FYI Although the CA glue works I us usually glue and blue tape my Crowne on the corners ,I also use a homemade sanding block that uses 80 grit sanding belts with a radius end to clean up My Coping cuts very quickly instead of a file or rasp Little tricks I learned by installing Architectual Woodwork professionally for 25 years the Wood glue /0painters tape is less expensive than the CA /Activator method too
That kitchen is AMAZING.
Thx 👍
Paul, use your handy dandy "Buzz Saw" for removing the bit of wood from the cabinets, mask with masking tape on the out side of your wood removal zone so the saw doesn't scuff the cabinet finish.
CA glue for the uninitiated is cyanoacrylate, commonly know as Super Glue. Yes, that super glue. This gentleman is using a two part formula for his application. A good choice as premix super glues generally have a one year shelf life sealed and only one month when opened. Works great on porous materials. Moisture helps activate the curing so make sure that your work pieces are not bone dry. Products vary so always read labels. Cheers to this gent for sharing his discovery. I will have to give this a try.
Thx Erik 👍
😂🤣😂🤣👍 that comment sol hahaha , Bosch 12 inch axle glide 👌 , great work guys , love how you guys have fun together , and do excellent work , love that kitchen job , thanks for the great videos , and yes that glue is a great addition to trim.
For detailed trim work, it’s the only glue to use. Saves so much time and comes out perfect every time
14:48 "He asked me what I was putting on it. I said Neosporin." "He said that's not our favorite. Try 2P-10 instead." lol
Love your video's guys! Top notch, entertaining, and informative. Go Studpack!
Definitely cool white. It's much brighter & supposedly better for you. Warm light has a yellow glow which I don't care for. Everything is coming along great. Love the color of the cabinets & the back splash!.
I like the day light they are amazing
Calking and paint works magic on trim baby you got to use it no matter how good you are
I recently learned about the triple antibiotic cream not being a good idea. My husband got a nasty wound from helping me unload some Rainbow Poplar I’d bought. We used regular Vaseline on his wound and bandaged it. The Vaseline keeps bacteria from getting into the wound, and it also keeps the bandage from sticking. It lets the wound heal from the inside out, so there won’t be as large of a scar. Once it healed (in about a week), he started putting Vitamin E from a gel cap on it. The scar is very minimal now, and it’s only been 2-1/2 weeks!
Thi sis quite possible the best construction RUclips channel I have ever found. I love ho you take so much time to truly educate us on how to do the specific jobs. You clearly could make so much better time on the job but you chose to build your RUclips education. I have been binging your videos the last few days. Thanks so much!
I am currently replacing all the trim in a house. About halfway through I picked up some 2p10. I am in love. I am half tempted to go back through and replace the trim that I did prior to getting the 2p10
Thats how I do "partial miter returns" also.
I'm in the cool white light camp!
I prefer the warm but the cool white has it's uses. The convenient switch leaves the decision to the homeowner ,which is a nice feature !
I prefer warm white as the sun was yellow when I was growing up.
