Prepare a new strip of cove base molding by applying adhesive to its back surface. Load a tube of cove base adhesive into a caulk gun. The presenter advises against applying adhesive too close to the edges of the molding to prevent excessive squeeze-out during installation. Apply three wavy, continuous beads of adhesive along the length of the cove base. Maintain an upright angle with the caulk gun to ensure a solid, consistent bead. Remember to press the release button on the caulk gun after application to stop the flow of adhesive and prevent mess.
