Guys,
First time I’m working with Azek crown molding. Any suggestions on whether to cope or to miter/glue the corners?
Thanks.

The most common way to make your own parging mix is to use either Type S mortar for block or Type N for brick and add a concrete bonding additive.

Users choice I suppose..........
and I've worked with azek and it's competitors b/4, but never with the crown mold. Since a joint in azek is almost "welded" together using their glue, I think I'd go that route.
So would you use MIG or TIG? Miter or cope?
" I think I'd go that route."
Welding is one way to cope with a joint problem, true. I might-er done 'er the other way, myself.
Well
take this for what it's worth.
I miter simply because a miter joint provides greater surface area for gluing.
I use the fancy Azek cement rather than plumbing variety PVC cement because it seems to allow more open time. Azek cement is ~$12 a can vs $ 5. for Oatey.
I have run a rudimentary test for bond strength between the Azek cement vs Oatey PVC cement -- seem equal, so it becomes your choice.

I agree with Jim. You could use a thicker adhesive which will also act as a filler, but a PVC cement is good.
