Retro-fit casing

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
I would like to retrofit some casing in my home. the casing that I want to use is 1.5 inches wider than the existing. Is there any way that I can tie it into the existing base without removing the base. i.e., How do I cut into or modify the base?
