How to Install Baseboard Molding, Even on Crooked Walls

Glue Baseboard to the Wall

  • Hold the base molding against the wall after you cut it to length, and look for gaps.
  • Cut a few braces from 4- to 6-inch lengths of scrap baseboard and put 45-degree angles on the ends.
  • Apply construction adhesive at the top and bottom.
  • Nail the floor trim to the studs and then tack the braces to the trim with 1-inch brads.
  • Force the gaps closed with the scrap and tack the blocks to the trim.
  • Leave it overnight to let the adhesive set, and then pry the blocks free.
  • Fill the little holes when you fill the rest of the nailheads.
