    Have you ever had issues with the cyanoacrylate glues versus a wood glue long term? I worry that it may crack/split over time

    • @csimet
      @csimet Год назад +3

      Woodworkers trick... use both. I use a couple dabs of CA on one side & spray hardener on the other in the center to place and hold the pieces to get perfect alignment, but most of the joint is held with traditional wood glue around the outside edges. The CA will hold the alignment and the wood glue will provide the strength.

    Why not lay the trim flat and turn your saw to the 45 degree on the vertical slider. Or does your saw not have that feature. Most do though. I used to do it your way but the blade never cuts down far enough through the trim

  • @PaulCloves
    @PaulCloves 9 месяцев назад +1

    Honestly u don’t need to do an overlap mitre joint to abutt skirting nowadays it’s the old traditional way of doing it to produce a larger glue area for the two separate pieces join up securely but nowadays with far more superior glue available and all the modern skeleton gun applied adhesives u can just butt joint them at 90 degrees to each other it’s far quicker and easier don’t get me wrong the way shown here is still superior but nowadays it’s overkill and honestly unnecessary ur end results will b just as good with a butt joint if done competently modern pva,s form a very strong joint that won’t part under normal circumstances

  • @neweverymorningmercy3491

    Excellent video. I'm getting my house ready for sale and there's several spots where trim is missing and/or needs to be replaced. I've been scouring youtube for good tutorials. This is one of the best. As a 62yr old grandma, I feel much more confident doing the repairs after watching this.

  • @novapball

    If you shim under the baseboard, how do you cover it up? Do you run a bead of caulk on the bottom?

    • @FixThisHouse

    @rodsnerd5176 2 года назад +3

    Pretty good demo but can see about an inch above the new baseboard where the top of the old baseboard was. Looks like the wall was just painted over. I would've either sand it out and match the orange peel texture of the wall or just put the orange peel on, then paint. Just something I would do.

    Whoa whoa whoa, the most relevant parts of the how-to you just skip over and don't narrate. What are you doing with the three dots and lines for cutting? What are you doing with the tape measure that clearly shows 84 7/8" for all of 0.2 seconds, and why did you say in the very next scene that it is 84 3/4" instead? I had to go back and forth like 4 times to see what you were doing :-(

  • @fleekwoodmatt4316
    @fleekwoodmatt4316 10 месяцев назад

    You lost me when you rolled the fresh, brushed on paint to get rid of bush marks. You can still clearly see the brush marks close to the floor and also to the side so either it was already painted with a brush or you didnt go far enough over when rolling. Either way for a little touch up like that a foam brush wouldve been better or just a regular brush and make sure you brush it out well maybe even doing two coats and you wouldnt be able to see the brush marks unless you're on your hands and knees staring at it lol

  • @SteveMe21685
    @SteveMe21685 10 месяцев назад

    ok, so if you had to cut out a small section with an oscillating tool how would you make that 45 degree bevel? or would it have to be a straight seem if you're not able to take apart both sides?

    Outstanding. This is the only part that’s giving me fits. God help you if you don’t get that set perfectly with that CA glue….you’re f**ked. I’d kind of like to see how that’s fixed. I need a few more seconds of adjustment time. So, maybe I’ll try using the drops on both sides method. I just don’t want it to get messy. Great video!

  • @albuseisenhorn3385
    @albuseisenhorn3385 Год назад

    I also heard you can use tape on the cut so that the finish doesn't chip with most types of wood - take with a grain of salt though no idea what kind of tape or if it actually works.
    As for the finishing, use a damn putty knife thats as close to the size of the baseboard as possible, use DAP (the blue container with pink stuff inside) and use very light coats, sand with 360 grit, wipe with soft cloth and tape your wall with painters tape then caulk using your finger in one smooth motion (no going back over it if you can avoid) then paint pronto and once done peel tape - this will give you a very clean line & prevent hours of trying to sand something (also scrape your putty knife edge to clean it every few passes) this only works if you don't have stucco walls inside. When doing trim you touch don't roll it, use a high quality brush and floetrol - will get you very smooth or glass like finish - actually you should spend money on 3 things and go as high quality as you can 1. paint brush 2. roller (the frame if you will) & 3. drop sheet 3 1/2. a decent locking extension pole of your choice

  • @Teeheyward
    @Teeheyward Год назад

    great video. question ? so when you are joining the two pieces of baseboards like in the middle not inside or outside corners but just connecting two pieces did you just cut both the ends to 45 degrees. That is what it looks like and add the wood filler so you can't see the seems?

    Scarf joint looks great! Question... Im thinking about DIY my baseboards on my new Vinyl Plank Flooring. The installer said to use 1/4" spacers for installing the baseboards to allow for expansion. But I noticed you just laid them on the floor planking and nailed them in... Is this a mistake on your part or is the 1/4" space really needed?
