Cut panel approximately 25 mm (1") wide, tack in place plumb to last panel and set scribing tool to mark exactly the width of the overlap.

Tack panel in place and scribe to fit wall then trim panel to fit the last panel installed.

The best way to cut the last panel on a wall is to first tack it in place and then scribe it to fit the wall. This ensures a precise fit and avoids any gaps or inconsistencies. Cutting the panel beforehand (option A and B) may result in an inaccurate fit, especially if the wall is not perfectly straight. Option D involves adding an additional molding which may not be necessary and can be avoided if the panel is properly cut to fit the wall. Therefore, option C is the most efficient and accurate method for cutting the last panel on a wall.

Cut the panel to fit between the wall and the last panel and cover the corner joint with a molding.
