This cornice unit was a challenge because the miters had opened up on both corners. I removed the glue blocks on the inside that would have prevented me from applying pressure with clamps. After getting some hide glue on all the surfaces, I put on enough clamps to pull everything together again. Afterwards I set the finish nail heads that were protruding from the surface and put putty over them. Once this dried, I sanded the entire cornice.
