   I always cope inside corners, backcutting to leave a fine, thin edge that is easier to dress up if necessary. Finish up fine work with a new blade in the old utility knife and/or a file. A little fine sandpaper over a thin rigid stick or folded over itself several times works also. Just how fine IS this beading?

   *Oh no.......We've done this before. This could get ugly.My advice is that if you can cope it and make it look good then do so. If not, mitre it.Ed. Williams

   *You want to cope this no matter what. The advice given above is perfect. One thig to add, after you cut the profile before coping rub the edge of this profile with some pencil lead. It makes the outline appear and as you file or sand all you have to do is make the dark turn into wood. Go slow . Good luck.

   *Always cope any inside corners when possible evenif difficult- its builds character and is actuallyfaster with all the easy square cuts into the cornerbefore the coped piece.

   *A flat mill file and a small round file help clean up the edge. Mike

   I have some chair rail to put up and can't decide if I should mitre or cope the insides. The beading on the bottom is pretty fine would be tough to cope.

   How do you you do it?
