I cannot for the life of me figure out how to successfully cut cove base to fit inside and outside corners.
Does anyone have a dummy way to create the quality look?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!:whistling2:

Get yourself a good folding protractor to measure each corner, inside or outside. This will save a lot of time and scrap. If you want to go to the extreme of coping a profile duplicator will be of help as well.
I learned here it is helpful to precut and mark several inside and outside angle samples from scrap and pair them up as you work.
Also borrowed a power nailer with great fast results. Will NEVER use the hammer again on molding. Leaves only tiny holes, almost no touch up ....WOW loved it so much I bought my own for future.:thumbsup:

I was referring to the poly stuff you put on with adhesive. No probs with molding...Def have to use the nailer!

Cove base is tricky at the bottom b/c you have to taper. Looking for an easier way...heck any way to do it easily.

Thanx in advance:whistling2:

Cutting a groove in the back to help it bend is nice.
Then heat it up to make it pliable.
Once you get the angle you want...freeze it with some ice cubes in a rag and it will help hold it.

All I can say is Trim has never been my favourite since my hasty wife first painted latex over oil in half the house :furious: so after that painful past it's been good to find a few pointers and yes I got them here.Thanks
