Maintaining your Americraft wood moulding is straightforward:

• Тозакунӣ: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Repainting/Restaining: If the finish becomes worn or you wish to change the color, lightly sand the surface, clean thoroughly, and apply new paint or stain according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Damage Repair: Minor dents or scratches can often be filled with wood putty, sanded smooth, and then repainted or restained.

5. Баррасии мушкилот

Here are solutions to common issues that may arise during or after installation:

• Gaps after Installation: Small gaps between the moulding and the wall/ceiling can be filled with paintable caulk. For larger gaps, ensure the surface is flat and consider shimming before re-installation.
• Poor Paint Adhesion: Ensure the primed surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before painting. Use a high-quality primer if the existing primer is compromised.
• Moulding Not Holding Firmly: Verify that sufficient adhesive was used and that brad nails are properly securing the moulding into studs or solid backing. If not, add more adhesive and/or nails.
• Imprecise Cuts: The MiterLink system is designed to minimize the impact of imperfect miter cuts by allowing an overlap. If cuts are still visible, ensure the overlap is correctly utilized.
