What do you do to cover the nail holes?

@MaxRank Год назад

Here’s a tip, when hanging base if you are right handed go anti clockwise around the room. That way you are always cutting on your scribed joint on the right. I’ve been a carpenter for over 30 years and I promise this will save you a ton of time.

@babukatv6923 Год назад

For a square room lets say starting from bottom and go right?

@MaxRank Год назад

@@babukatv6923 for a square room I would start on the wall with the door. You have 2 square cuts typically, then hang the base board or skirting board in the UK anti clockwise around the room. This way you will only need to cut the scribe on the right end of the board until you get to the last wall. That will require a scribe on both ends. Cut this board slightly long and squeeze it in. This will make the joints tight both ends. Hope that helps. If you facing the door the next board you will hang will be on the left.

@danielmclaughlin5194 11 месяцев назад

⁠@@MaxRank that’s very helpful and informative, thank you. On the last skirting board you install you say make it slightly longer, how much longer roughly would u recommend in Millimetres

@MaxRank 11 месяцев назад

@@danielmclaughlin5194 I wouldn’t go longer than 5mm. On plaster board walls if you go longer and sometimes at 5mm you will break the tape joint in the corner of the room. Never cut the skirting long against door linings, this can push over the lining and cause the door to bind.

Great video.. Had a nice honey-do project, putting up 2 murphy beds, which required removal of the existing baseboard. This video gave me all the confidence needed, to cut my baseboards and fit them nicely beside the beds. You even answered my question to paint them prior to install and they came out great!! Thank you kindly!! 😁

@RetrieverTrainingAlone 10 месяцев назад

Excellent tip on coping after first cutting with chop saw most of the cut. Outside corners 46 degrees, inside corners 44 degrees due to mud buildup. Popsicle sticks as shims for perfect fit. Also try cutting with baseboard upside down. For some baseboard profiles, the fit is better when cut upside down. Fast curing glue with activator is a great tip. Thanks.

@billsherrard8452 Год назад

Use "Painter's Putty" for the nail holes. It doesn't shrink. Don't use spackle. (It dries concave) Roll the Painter's Putty into a quarter size ball, press firmly into the brad hole with your thumb as you run your spackle knife between your thumb and baseboard. This cuts the putty off for a perfect fill. Finnish up with a little touch-up paint. Good luck!

@oneluckydude Год назад

I like to use a small bucket of water to rinse my finger of the excess caulking. I use a wet towel to wipe off any remaining excess caulking after initially using my finger to wipe off caulking because over time, the thin film of caulking spread by the finger over unintended areas tend to darken over time.

Why Glue do you recommend for gluing baseboard to the wall ? Also a tool that doesn't require an air hose for nailing it to the wall? Thank you!

@Aldark22405 Год назад

Very good video. Question - when measuring for an inside corner and planning on coping, is the coped board measured to the edge of the board already in place? Or, measured to the wall so the top of the cope would meet the wall? I hope that makes sense!

@MaxRank Год назад

Scribed boards are measured from the flat face of the base.

When you run your finger to smooth out caulk, instead of wiping on a wet rag, use that caulk on your finger to fill nail holes. Then use wet rag or sponge to clean any remaining caulk around nail holes.

@valeriekim3696 Год назад

You should never fill nail holes with caulking, only putty

@dalerogers4323 Год назад

I’ve been installing for 45 years for multiple interior decorators and designers, ALWAYS turned out perfect filling nail holes with caulk. Matches white baseboards and no need to paint.

@chanthana7694 Год назад

If the nail hole is small enough why not just fill it with what you have to work with? I didn't have any of those at the moment and was too anxious to wait so I filled the hole with cooked rice. Just smashed the ruce and filled the hole, wait for it to dry, smooth it out if needed and paint. Looks fine to me. Lol

@saberunjameal5839 2 года назад

No matter what you do you still need to use silicone to hide the small gaps cause not all walls are close to being perfect. Plus I think it would take more time with using little saw for the inner corners. For someone doing the whole house, you be there the whole day or two.

@Luzarze 2 года назад

@junejhunkie 2 года назад

Hi remodeller here. I don’t know why you do the straight cut last. You should cut the mitre last always. And you measure it by butting the straight part on the wall or door casing and pencil the mitre and cut from the pencil line. And if you are doing coping corners. You are going to need a jigsaw or a grinder with a sanding blade. Finish carpentry has more in depth videos about this.

@bboyslimek Год назад

for example you corner is 94 degree, here's solution. 180-94=86 then 86/2=43 and those 43 is that what you set in your mitre saw. Works always for inside and outside corners.

@ThekiBoran 2 года назад

At 8:50 why was there a gap in the outside part of the miter? It was glued together before it was installed, yes? So it should have been a perfectly tight miter. What happened?

step 1 make sur you set up your saws to have a perfect vertical blade rest is good glue is not needed but a level of professionalism that is above the rest
