Does anyone have any tips on filling corners for white gloss frames? I'm using both Omega and Roma 1-1/2" frames and my corners are good but they aren't perfect. I found a video online of someone using a pen like tool for painting the corners but I have no idea what it is. Any help would be appreciated!

We use DecoArt Maxx Gloss.
 
Good suggestions above., and here's another idea: use a tiny smear of white bathroom caulking. It's cheap & readily available, water-soluble until dry, fills gaps smoothly, retains its original color & chemistry (mostly), and dries to a matte finish. Also, it contains no abrasives, which could make a matte-white moulding finish appear shiny if you rub a bit too much.
 
I ended up going with CJ paste. I should also note I stopped using the gloss frames as my customers preferred a white matte instead. But the paste works perfectly on both! I ordered a white and a black and was even able to mix them to touch up corners of a matte black frame as well.
