Product Information
Full details
The FastCap Crown Moulding Coving Clips are designed for DIYers and professionals looking to simplify the installation of crown moulding and coving, especially in remodel projects. They offer a secure, tool-free holding solution that significantly speeds up the process and ensures a clean finish. A potential caveat is their specialized nature, meaning they are best suited for standard crown moulding profiles and may not fit all intricate designs.

FAQs
How many clips are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 FastCap Crown Moulding Coving Clips.
Do I still need to use adhesive or nails?
Yes, the clips are designed to hold the moulding in place while adhesive cures or fasteners are installed. They are a temporary holding solution, not a permanent fastening method.
What are these clips made of?
The clips are made from heavy-duty nylon, designed for durability and repeated use.
Can these clips be used for baseboards?
While primarily designed for crown moulding and coving, they might work on some baseboard applications if the profile allows for a secure grip against the wall. However, their effectiveness may vary.
How do I remove the clips after installation?
Simply pinch the tabs on the clip together and gently pull it away from the moulding and wall/ceiling.
What is the advantage of using these clips over temporary nails?
These clips provide a secure hold without puncturing the moulding, eliminating the need for filling nail holes and reducing the risk of damaging the trim during installation.
Are these clips reusable?
Yes, the durable nylon construction allows for multiple uses provided they are cleaned and stored properly.
Troubleshooting
Clip not holding moulding securely
Ensure the moulding is pressed firmly against both the wall and ceiling. Check that the moulding profile is compatible and provides enough surface for the clip to grip. Verify the clip is fully engaged.
Difficulty removing the clip
Ensure you are using the pinch-to-tab mechanism correctly. Squeeze the tabs firmly together and gently pull the clip away. If adhesive has seeped into the clip area, carefully clean around the clip before removal.
Clip broke during use
Inspect the clip for any signs of damage before use. If a clip breaks, replace it with another from the pack. Consider if excessive force was applied or if the moulding profile is too aggressive for the clip's design.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly speeds up crown moulding installation.
- Eliminates the need for temporary nails or complex bracing.
- Durable construction ensures longevity.
- Easy to use with a simple pinch-to-tab mechanism.
- Reduces the risk of damaging moulding during installation.
Cons
- Best suited for standard crown moulding profiles.
- May not be compatible with very thick or unusually shaped mouldings.
- Requires purchase of additional adhesive or fasteners for permanent installation.
- A pack of 4 may be insufficient for large projects, requiring multiple purchases.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Dry-fit your crown moulding to ensure a proper fit against the wall and ceiling.
- Apply your chosen adhesive to the back of the moulding or directly to the wall/ceiling.
- Position the crown moulding.
- Insert the FastCap Crown Moulding Clip by pressing the moulding against the wall and ceiling and sliding the clip into the gap between the moulding and the wall/ceiling, ensuring it grips both surfaces.
- Use additional clips as needed to secure the entire length of the moulding.
Compatibility:
These clips are designed for standard crown moulding profiles. They work best with mouldings that have a sufficient surface area for the clip to grip. Always test fit on your specific moulding profile before full installation. Not recommended for extremely thin or unusually shaped trim.
Care:
Clean the clips with a damp cloth after use to remove any dust or debris. Store in a dry place. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures that could degrade the nylon material.
