Has anyone ever used frame moulding as a picture rail in their homes,if so how did they get on,or are there any reasons not to use it?

I've used picture rail moulding for frames. :P

If you used a reverse section with the rebate pointing up, I can't see any difficulties.

I've also used frame moulding for window/door trim. :)

Yeah rebate towards ceiling,thats what I was thinking of. Just thought using some of my own moulding would be as good as buying "picture rail".
