There's no need to nail or glue them into place; just install the baseboard right over them, tight against the floor molding. It's best to keep the nails at the bottom of the base above the gap so they go through drywall, not air.
Keeping this in consideration, what is the best glue to use for baseboards?
Why glue works better than nails in installing baseboards and
- Double-sided. You can usedouble-sided instead of nails for a simple installation of Santa Luzia Mouldings.
- Adhesive. Titebond® GREENchoice Professional Cove Base is our recommendation for better fixation along the wall.
- Caulk. For a perfect finish use Titebond® Painter's Plus Caulk.
Also Know, how do you attach baseboard trim glue?
Apply a thin bead of construction adhesive along the back length of the baseboard and press it against the wall so the bottom edge is flush with the floor. Hold the board in place for about five minutes to allow the glue to dry.
Use LIQUID NAILS® FUZE*IT® All-Surface Construction Adhesive (LN-2000), or LIQUID NAILS® Ultra Qwik Grip Adhesive (LN-990) for your interior trim and molding installation to save you time and to give you a better finished product.
