- A quick look at how to install baseboards without a nail gun. The process involves using a primary long lasting glue, and quick setting glue. The two glues that I used in the video were: Dap Dynaflex Caulking, and Sta'Put contact cement.

Nice job
A small little trick for the inside corner is to apply caulk to the mitered edge before setting the bb in. Wipe out the oozed out caulking for a perfect corner look
Nah
Thank you so much! ,I really needed to fix my ugly baseboard and I will use your technique, looks super easy 👍👍keep helping people like me with your tutorials!!
Just finished watching all of your videos. Love the comedy as much as the great DIY info/reviews. I've seriously belly laughed at a few of your videos.
Recently got the Makita 36v track saw with the help of your review and have a couple of projects I can't wait to use it on. Also picked up a few of the Milwaukee Pack Out organizers based on your reviews. Keep the videos coming!
Wow, that is quite the commitment! There’s definitely more than a few clunkers in there😂. Best wishes on your future projects! I appreciate the support!
great tip about using caulking as a glue over PL adhesive. For future removal in mind.
Omg, I LOVE IT 🤗♥️ I am a Widow having to make Repairs on my 100 year old House, I bought a Tool Apron, but the weight of the Hammer, a Tape Measure, Nails/ Screws and Screw drivers etc., was killing me, the Tie cuts right into your waist... This Set up looks perfect... 👍😉
I’m a fan of a small little holder for a tape measure, pencil, knife. And then using a tool cart/box for the other stuff. Thanks for checking out the video!
I am just like you!
Widow, trying to fix 100+ years house and HATE those heavy tools which impossible to lift up!
Super helpful and found the little sub-storyline very amusing!
Thank you!
Great Video, thanks for your time to show us 🙏😄🤘
I'm glad I found your channel... I've subscribed and I'll be looking forward to them!
Thanks Kevin, I appreciate the support!
Good tip if everything is flat. Not very many floors or trim are perfect so this is only a good idea for small jobs like in the video. Most trim needs flexed over humps in the floor. Therefore, a nailer is necessary.
Thanks for the useful tips again man!!! Learned so much from you man thanks!
Thanks buddy!
Hilarious content, love the intro. I prefer Dap myself with doing baseboards in bathrooms to avoid using nails all together, and toe-kicks.
Thanks man
Thanks. Slightly better than the other video that didn’t know what a nail set was called and used a tack hammer and the nail set to drive the nails when they were still halfway out. Yikes! I’ll be using this method.
Nice, I've been racking my brain on how to reliability affix my own hand made hard maple trim without using nails and i kept thinking caulking should do the job but i wasn't sure how reliable it would be and this has basically validated my ideas.
...and ruin your beautiful wood!
This sort of thing is called a "Landlord Special". and it shouldn't be done. People, don't glue your house together.
@belajadevotchka2 ruin how? I sealed the visible side with linseed oil and beeswax, then replaced the old basic white trim with maple.
Nice! I'll have to try the stay put! Thanks 👍
It's great to keep a can of that around for sure. They're is a tonne of crafty moves and applications you can use it for.
Looking at adding a few strips of quarter round and don't want to deal with nailing, patching and painting. Just want to do pre-paint in garage and attach using drops of adhesive. Was thinking about super glue but now thinking of hot glue as it should cause less damage if/when it needs to be removed.
Hey you’re awesome! Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks!
Thanks Daniel, I appreciate the support!
Appreciate the video. Thank you so much.
Nice video. I back caulk all interior casing so that i can use less nails because it always paints up the best with less nails and the back caulk reduces nail pops. It never occured to me to use fast setting glue though instead of the nails.
I dont mean to be rude but MDF in bathrooms will swell and fail particularly so close to the shower.
Thank you! Will try this out!
Yes this is a great Video! I cannot find Sta’put. Do you suggest any other brands or types of the spray?
What do i do if previous owners used nail gun and now some parts of base boards are pulling off wall? Can I just glue it back to wall or would i need to get a finishing nail gun.
Thank you. Hey do baseboards come precut like that? Kits?
I don't know stayput, it's not available in my country, but usually contact cement is very strong.
Is the caulking really necessary?
I appreciate the information!! I didn't care for theatrics but that's on me ...
I cannot find Sta Put SPH. Would you recommend 3M? Gorilla? Something else for a spray? Love your videos!!
Nice! I never thought of gluing base boards.
Because you shouldn't.
I want to use this technique to install a couple linen closet shelves Should I clean the painted wall 1st??
Can you attach stained baseboards to plaster or brick with caulk?
Will liquid nails work? I have some left over and I’d like to use what I have. Thanks
Thanks. I was concerned about using a nail gun. We have no show baseboard nails and I really didn't want to have to paint them to cover. Our baseboards are a cream color and it would be a hard match.
Thank you for your excellent videos. I got hooked and watched every. single. one. Brilliant. Weird question - If you were replacing all the floors and baseboards in a house, would you do the baseboard as you finished the floor in each room or would you do all the baseboards at once at the very end? I'm a little nervous that a typical baseboard wont cover the previously covered spaces in all of the rooms....Also, would love for you to do some more miter saw videos. Thank you!
That's unreal, thank you! It depends on the house situation and the flooring. If you're doing a 3 story house it can be nice to start from the top and work down. For me if I'm renovating my house I would rip out all the old flooring and baseboards, then I would repair the walls and ceiling, then paint all the walls and ceilings and any door trims. Then instal the new flooring(if it's carpet you instal the baseboard first), then instal a preprinted baseboards, then fill and caulk, then touch up the nail holes, and ideally one more coat over the baseboards covering the caulking(I don't alway do this because it's a pain). What type of mitre saw video are you looking for?
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Brilliant thank you very much. For Miter Saw videos maybe how to not cut my arm off. out of square walls, mdf vs pine vs pvc, different heights etc. i learn a lot from your videos! Thank you very much.
P F step one keep your arm clear of the saw😂😂😂. I’ll put a beginners Miter saw video up on the board, thanks for the idea.
Super. Thank you now a subscriber will be checking out your other videos. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for checking it out
I am redoing a utility room with all cement block walls with drywall over furring strips. When I tried removing one part of a baseboard, it was almost impossible because it is screwed into the cement! Was looking for a solution without having to screw into the cement again. But I have quite a gap at the bottom of the drywall. Ack
Great video
Great vid!
great video!! Thank you
Thank you kindly!
So helpful
👍 great advice
I never saw better glue than Mammoth Glue from Poland.
can't seem to find the StaPut locally in Seattle. Is the 3m 77 or 3m 90 or gorilla spray adhesive the same? I found those at the hardware store. I'm attaching mdf trim to drywall where there is only rigid insulation and concrete behind the drywall (bottom 7" of wall)
Yes both those sprays will probably work similar.
Soudal fixall, perfect stuff
Did you try the 3M super 77 adhesive?
Thanks for the videos and great tips! Can I install quarter round with just caulking as well?
No.
Thank you!
Hi,
Loved your video. Quick question would the spray on cement and the other product you featured work on PVC trim on a livingroom wall?
U would want to make sure the glue will work with pvc.
This is awesome! I need to redo a lot of baseboards and I want wondering if I can just use finishing nails and a hammer and then calk along top, or if this is better.
Use 16 or 18 gauge finishing nails. Please, do not glue your house together. I am a professional. I do not have a CZcams channel because I do things well and correctly. You thought of doing it correctly.
Wow I just keep learning
Thanks John
I use dap 230 all the time for the same reasons, I use hot gun for temp holding.
Nice!
Would liquid nail work?
Will cost more, is that right?
1/4 round work same way? Concrete floor and walls with 50 yr old painted baseboards
What's wrong with using a hammer and nails to fix skirting boards?
Can this method also be used for crown molding in an already-painted room?
If you needed to put on one piece you probably could.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Thank you!
I want to put up some 1 X 6 v-groove shiplap pine siding on an interior wall. Will this method work?
If you want to destroy the entire wall underneath,sure do it this clown's way.
How would you compare Stabila levels to Milwaukee levels? Or what levels do you use? Just curious
Hey Jesse, I’ve always been a Stabila Level guy. Those new Milwaukee levels look pretty nice though. They seem a bit on the bulky side but not too bad.
Thanks for the reply, I’ve always used stabila as well. I just ordered the Milwaukee ones though because of my budget and they had a great deal for the set. Im hoping there still as light weight as the stabilas were. Looking forward to the next video, take care.
Stabila for inside work, Empire for outside work for me.
Would this be okay to do for applying on a wood wall?
It will definitely work. I might just use the caulking and the spray glue though. The PL will glue that on so that it will never come off.
What about if the board is slightly warped. Does the glue dry fast
If it's warped you need a nail gun. Even if it's perfectly flush with the wall. Just don't glue your house together. This is called a "Landlord Special" because it's a fix that fast, super cheap, and incorrect.
Can you do this for install baseboard for the whole house?
I don’t think that would be a great idea. Difficult to ever remove them.
Drywalls have never been meant to be nailed to in the first place. I like this idea better than using a nail gun
Not true
Drywall nails were used before screws just saying???
How can I stick the baseboard to a brick wall
hey, uhh, do you have one on baseboard scarf joints?
I don’t Doug. Scarf joints on baseboard can be tricky.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter thank you, love your channel and your dedication to it. get a patreon going, people will def sponsor! i have rectangular 3.5" x .75" base, but it's hard for most DIY weekend warriors to drive 16' lengths back, so scarfing 8' seems key. guess i'll wait for the longer stuff to come into stock
just saw a cross over between your channel and Time Team. You're using floor pads, like an Archeologist. Instead of knee pads. I have three pairs, one for outside dirty crap, one for inside clean not finished crap, and another for finished floors (that one has clear gel pads so you can easily make sure they're not carrying anything that will damage a client's floor)
Lol I’ve been team kneel pad for 15 years:) I’ve tried all the knee pads back in the day but never found any that didn’t irritate the heck out of me. Once you get used to kicking the pad around it’s pretty sweet!
Can't wear knee pads either. They hurt the backs of my knees terrible. They sell these Husky gardening pads at the Home Depot
Hey Funny Carpenter, could you put links to the products you show?
Thanks for the suggestion buddy, I usually put some in for certain things, but it does feel a little commercial at times🙃. It definitely can be handy though on some occasions for sure! It is extremely awesome that people want to support the channel by using the links! I’m hoping to make some nice t-shirts to sell but it is a very long process! Making a design that isn’t terrible and finding the right shirts is challenging!!!
@@TheFunnyCarpenter I'll be happy to support it. You have helped me more than once. Just let me know how I could return the favor.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Hey just make sure on any t-shirts you do focus on really soft cotton because all of us contractors Love soft shirts!
Mark Fitzer lol I’ve been testing out quite a few different ones. For a carpenter I’m unusually fussy when it comes to t-shirts. If the fit and fabric aren’t nearly perfect life is too short:)
That guy that stole your nail gun kinda looks like you a little bit. Crazy 🤪
Just give it a little tappy tap tap tap. No nail holes to fill so that good!
Ya I use this a lot for those 1 day jobs where you don't have time to fill, paint etc.
Flex 40 hot glue man!!
It’s magic!!
Yep I use hot glue as a secondary for 1/4 round on concrete walls.
I'm gonna have to try some of that, how fast does it set up?
@@TheFunnyCarpenter there are various types of glue sticks low temp, high temp, etc with different open times. But in all cases it’s a matter of seconds. If the substrate you are adhering it to is very cold it will set up faster. If you do want to try may I suggest an “industrial” gun with variable temp settings vs. the hobbyist glue gun. I use a PAM.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Put on with blobs every 8” hold for 10 seconds pressing firmly .
When removed, just pulls the paper.
I'd let this skuzzzballl keep that air nail gun it's all about the cordless tools anyway!! Jokes on him now he has to carry an air compressor around with him. Great video!
Thanks Mark
I borrowed the battery nail gun from my neighbor, i returned it and.went to buy an air one. Much better, smaller, lighter
How would you remove it if you used liquid nails?
You would rip it off with a pry bar and pray it doesn't do too much damage to the walls. Then you will kick yourself for not doing it correctly in the first place- using a nail gun.
Excellent! Move to Oz! 👴🏻🇦🇺
What is the best calking gun to use.
Get a "dripless" - husky makes an okay one for DIYers.
What knee pad do you use?
I’m not sure, it’s all worn out. I got it from KMS tools.
MDF though? 😭 Keep it light you'll be replacing in about a year. Even if you've sealed it, it will still react to the environment it's in (humid, moisture, heat from shower)
So glue is the way go? At first I thought about welding.
Can I use liquid nails ?
Yes
Dangit Leroy!
He's always lurking around my place! I've even seen him eyeballing my wife a few times!!
Pl premium is great stuff a lot better than liquid nail.
Indeed! That liquid nail stuff is garbage! I remember one time my uncle picked up a bunch to glue on some wall panels at a car dealership. The next day we got a call that they were falling off the wall...Pull out the PL premium and some bracing for the night, problem solved!
I am a homeowner with a day job who does not do anything construction related for a living. That being said I am working on framing out my basement and Bought this czcams.com/users/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt gun. I have done a few walls already, have probably shot a couple hundred nails through this thing and have yet to have a misfire. It works awesome, good depth on every nail if you have your compressor set right. My literal only complaint is that it is a bit heavy and my arm can get a little tired especially whrn I am nailing at odd angles. That being said I am super happy with it and would buy it again. Hoping the old girl allows me to get my whole basement finished out!
MDF for bathroom baseboard?!?
This guy is King of Landlord Specials.
I've not tried it, but I was expecting you to say "hot glue gun"... has anyone tried that?
ffn Leroy!
Lol if you see him creeping around that new drill, you’d best be wary!!!😂
@@TheFunnyCarpenter it’s to much drill for him anyway.
How are liking that drill scale of 1-10?
@@TheFunnyCarpenter a solid 8 for sure. Makes me wish I used 18v tools for work cause i can only use it around home on the weekends.
Just predrill some holes and nail/set them in
you glue and use drywall screws then use some wood filler then paint
Yikes!
I just use tec 7
Now try doing a large wall
Still funny. Good video. I wonder what Leroy's gf looks like?
Leroy wonders that as well😂
All this and you forgot to put wood glue on the miter!?
Lol good point:)
wait so... hammer stolen too?
Aren't you the handyman guy?
Why not try using a hot glue gun as a temporary quick grab solution? Much cheaper and a better grab!
Funny beginner about the nail. Lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Anthony
Don't forget hes related to you Haha
😆🍻🍺😊
It’s a 3rd cousin situation😂🍺
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Thanks for the good tips on how to install baseboards without using fasteners.
About Leroy, neighbors and friends. Maybe you need to invest in Milwaukee tools with ONE KEY and TICKs?
Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
C Adama 😂
just do it the right way and nail it. don't screw the next guy replacing the baseboards.
less talking more working
If I borrow something, I bring it back cleaned and how the owner gave it to me. If it was stolen, I'd take the loss and buy the owner a brand new one. That's how a man is supposed to borrow another man's tools. Or buy your own lol
This.🫡👏👏👏
Good option but nail guns are way easier.....
What is this... a BATHTUB FOR ANTS? This wont work too well for spans thar aren't straight.
Scuzzbag lol!
First
Boom 🍻
