- 1). Start your installation at an inside corner, or where the base butts against a cabinet or door casing. Cut a section long enough to run to the next inside corner or butt joint. Bend the base around any outside corners. Use the heat gun if necessary to soften the base for bending.
- 2). Apply cove base adhesive to the back of the cove base, using a notched trowel. If using glue from a cartridge, apply a bead of glue to the base, and then spread it with the notched trowel.
- 3). Press the freshly glued baseboard into place. Use the palm of your hand to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles. Clean any glue squeeze out immediately, using the appropriate solvent if necessary.
- 4). Install your next piece of baseboard, cutting the cove section at 45 degrees where it butts into the previous piece.
