Finish with Caulk and Clean Up

What happens here

Once all baseboard pieces are securely in place, inspect the joints and the top edge where the baseboard meets the wall. Using a caulk gun, apply a thin, consistent bead of the Titebond Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive (or a dedicated paintable caulk) along any visible seams or gaps between the baseboard and the wall. This step helps create a professional, seamless finish. Use a gloved finger or a caulk tool to smooth out the applied caulk, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the wall and trim. Finally, wipe away any excess caulk or adhesive with a clean rag or cloth before it dries.

Goal: Achieve a professional and seamless finish for the installed baseboards.
