Installation Guide

d. It may be necessary to splice two pieces of base moulding together if you have a long
wall. To do this, cut opposing 30 degree angles across the moulding. Splice them
together (preferably over a wall stud) and nail into place.
6. Once your finishing cuts are made, nail your base moulding in place. Begin in the corner, nailing
into a wall stud at the top of the moulding and into the base plate at the bottom of the
moulding. Use a stud finder to locate the studs before you nail. Using a level to keep your base
moulding straight across the wall, finish installing the piece by nailing into the wall studs and
base plate along the entire length of the moulding.
7. Continue with the next adjoining piece by making the appropriate cut and repeating until your
job is complete.
Tip: Make templates of inside and outside corner cuts before you begin. Each corner will have a left
hand and right cut. This will aid in setting the miter angle on your saw as you cut each piece. It will also
prevent you from making the wrong cut and saving you time as you go.
