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.
