In reply to Mary. Large gaps like that are better fixed with a hardening wood putty.

Can I use the spackling on large gaps too? My old house has wonky ceilings that the molding just does not line up to in places leaving some pretty large spots. Like an inch wide in places.

In reply to Katie. If it's not sanding try an all purpose joint compound which I like alot more than dap anyway. I've never found something it doesn't stick to, and it sands very easily.

I’ve had good luck packing ugly inside corners with jb weld after it’s setup for a few minutes. Then I used drywall patch over that and sand. The jb weld keeps the joint from EVER opening up again. Drywall patch also makes the best nail filler in painted molding. You can set your nails, fill, lightly sand and prime in one day. NEVER prime over Alex latex caulking until at least 24hrs has passed! I learned that one the hard way.

In reply to Katie. Use Crawford’s Vinyl Spackling. Amazon carries it.
