What happens here

Begin by taking a pre-cut baseboard piece with a mitered edge, designed for the first section of the corner. Apply a bead of construction adhesive, such as Titebond Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive, along the back of the piece using a caulk gun. Carefully position and press the baseboard onto the wall, ensuring proper alignment with the corner. Repeat this process for the adjacent mitered baseboard piece, fitting it snugly against the first to form a clean corner joint. Throughout this step, wear work gloves for protection and to maintain cleanliness.

Goal: Securely attach the first baseboard pieces, forming a clean corner joint.
