Help!! what is the angle when you are going around a door frame?? I have tried the 45 degree but they just dont join up... I dont want to waste anymore as its expensive...

It's 45 degrees, but if the frame isn't square then it won't join up. Check the frame is square! Also check that the mitre guide/saw or whatever device you are using is accurate! I take it your fitting architrave!

A photo would help explain your predicament.

a 45 degree mitre ONLY works if the angle is 90 degrees AND the lining is EXACTLY square to the wall

if the lining isnt exaclty flush to the wall you are dealing with a compound angle

practice is the only teacher, it isnt easy and 99% of all architraves have this problem. its a fact of life

Might be a bit late now, but it's best to go underneath the door frame if possible-
