I am trying to finish my moulding but I need to fill a corner . What do I use and how do I make it look crisp.

Looks good to me as it is now.

If you want to get rid of those fine lines you can use some color putty and a spackle knife to scrape off.

Should have been addressed before the pieces were finished. Normally a latex caulk would be applied, tooled allowed to dry. Caulk is used due to expansion and contraction of the pieces/joint.

Yes, a flexible acrylic caulk should be used to make seams like that disappear. After you've painted it you won't see a thing.

Putty's no good, because it is not flexible, and after a while the seam will be back due to the movement of the wood.

When you apply the caulk, hold your caulk gun straight so you push the caulk directly into the seam. The seam in your pic is very small, so you need just a little bit. Then rub it in with a finger or a small brush, and then remove the excess of caulk with a putty knife and/or a slightly moist rag.

Yep decorators caulk applied with a mastic gun and then a quick wipe over with a wet finger, and it will look perfect.
