Searched in vain for a guide on how to fit a crown molding against a slanted ceiling with a 50-degree pitch. Finally, I experimented until I found a method that worked, maybe it can help some poor soul who is googling?

There are probably other methods out there, but I didn't find them :)

Amateurishly and without the right tools, carved the backside with a utility knife, etc.

Caulked and painted for the best finish.

Good luck!

Thank you! Good and simple explanation! Fixed 4 corners in a sleeping cabin (where every angle is unique 🤪) with this method, limited tools and very little time.

I haven't tested any other method either, but this one worked great!
