  • I have a couple of door frames that need architrave applied. Unfortunately the frame itself is very close to the adjacent wall, so I can't use 'full sized' architrave vertically.

    If you're still following, well done.

    What's the best/neatest way of applying some sort of passable architrave? I have some moulding in the same profile as the architrave (which is obviously much thinner), but obviously this won't neatly align with the horizontal architrave (which does fit 'normally').

    I could apply the moulding all the way around the door frame but this might look a bit odd compared to the rest of the house.

    Otherwise I could... Cut down the full width architrave to fit, but I like the machinery to do this myself. Obviously if that's the best way, I can enlist professional help!

  • Can you rip the full sized architrave lengthwise until it does fit? Then if your rip cut isn't perfectly flat, a plane will help take out the high spots then just caulk the join to the adjacent wall.

    Filler and paint makes me the joiner I ain't.
