I am installing 45 degree crown molding on kitchen cabinets. I have interior angles that are 135 degrees (wall cabinets with a 45 degree corner cabinet in the middle). I can cut compound miters at the appropriate angles but would prefer to cope the joint. After I cut the one piece of molding square and attach it, what angle/bevel should I cut the second piece before using my coping saw? Is this joint normally coped or just mitered/beveled at 16.3/15.7 degrees? thanks
