Cutting plastic molding

Today's secret "woodworking" trick.

If you have ever installed crown molding, you know what a bitch it is.  There are two angles that must be considered on every cut.  An out of plumb wall will drive you nuts.  I've done enough CM to know how to set my DeWalt miter saw, but what I don't like is painting the stuff, so plastic (solid, not foam core) molding sounded great. No paint needed, ever! After I purchased around 200' from Home Depot, I discovered an ugly truth about it.  When you cut it with a circular saw, it melts.  My first work-around was to cut the piece, and quickly pull the glob of plastic off with my fingers.  Sumbitch, that hurt.  I put on leather gloves.  Sumbitch  that hurt,  I tried a kitchen spoon, a piece of wood ... nothing left me with sharp edges. I trudged down to Home Depot to buy whatever saw blade is recommended for this stuff, Me:  What kind of blade should I be using to cut this stuff and keep it from melting? Expert: A very sharp hand saw. Me: Excuse me? Expert:  What are you using, a compound miter saw? Me: Yes. Expert:  Can't.  It'll melt. Use a handsaw. Me: Not bloody likely. After this setback I did what I normally do, I left the saw on the table for two months.  That way, if anyone comes over it looks like you're doing stuff.  Mother Superior knows that trick, and was getting increasingly antsy about getting her walls finished.  She came up with the solution - sort of.  "Spray the blade with WD-40."  Holy crap.  My can of WD-40 was missing the spray button, so I tried no-stick spray vegetable oil.  Works like a charm.  You're welcome.  One note: I used a power nailer on the plastic, but if you nail too close to an edge, it will crack.
