Caulking

Even with our excellent cutting and installation, the imperfections in the ceiling and wall usually cause some visible gaps. The solution is called caulk and is rather difficult to say without causing offense or giggles. In this case white caulk, which we apply lightly along the seem and then press in tight against the gap. Don't worry about the excess that stays on the wall, touching up the paint after this step is a must. We use the caulk remaining on the finger after a swipe to fill in the finishing nail holes along the moulding. For the corners, extra caulk is necessary to fill the gap, but the same principle applies.
