GAP BETWEEN THE DOOR JAMB AND TRIM? Fix it like a PRO!!

[@micheller8014]

I love the ' reveal ' look. Most other videos are showing ' flushing ' the trim. You have a winner here.

This is the only technique that I've found that would work with stained wood trim. Having done ALL that work to do multiple coats of pre-stain, stain, sanding, and polyurethane varnish, the LAST thing I want to do is get caulk involved, or to bury my hard work into the drywall! Thank for this!

You bring up a GREAT point! Cheers!

Thank you so much. This is exactly the problem I have and now I know what to do!

Hi, I have searched and searched online and can't find an answer. Search results don't seem to be as good as they used to be it seems Your video here is the closest. Here is the difference. My large gap between the outside of the door and wall is on the front exterior door outside. The gap runs outside the casing between the casing and the wall around the top and two sides of the front door. Long story of why it's there. I started with putting caulk in it but you can see it. Even if it were done evenly as you said, it's not real slightly since it's a thicker gap. You're straight piece of wood looks fine inside. But since it's an outside exterior door, is there a trim made for that or is there like a decorative trim that wouldn't stand out and look like it shouldn't be there that could be stained the same color as the casing? Thank you! I'm a female and so not real good at this but I want to keep out any bugs that might come in there or drafts, of course. Thank you! Marla

Nice, well explained.

Looks ok on a straight wall, try doing that on a 120yr old house

[@thinkreno]

Yeah, that can get a bit tricky!

What glue are you using for the mitered joints?

[@thinkreno]

Any carpenter’s glue will work. I use Gorilla brand wood glue...
