Rolled vinyl baseboard trim

I picked up 120ft of the below to do my finished (painted drywall) garage.

My plan was to nail it up, tried it in a test section and hated the results.

What kind of adhesive would you guys use to stick this to drywall? Standard construction adhesive, or something different?

Liquid Nails. Use tape or staples to hold it in place while it drys.

If it was me, I'd put a bead of silicone on the bottom lip when you apply it so as to prevent water and other 'things' from getting in. Or, after you glue it in place, use a caulk gun and lift the bottom edge up and squirt the silicone in that way.

THIS.

Dont use staples to hold it up while the adhesive sets (please), use tape.

Assuming you dont have the pre-manufatured corners (which I think look like ****):
-for outside corners, use a gouge or utility knife to put a relief kerf on the back side of the wall base (when you wrap the outside corner, the kerf prevents the material from trying to straighten out).

-for inside corners, just a single, non penetrative, slice down the back will allow the material to separate better and hug the inside corner.

good luck..
(youtube has videos of how to deal with corners)

I always use the stuff in the link, what it's made for. use a notched trowel to apply. I've never had to use anything to hold it while it sets, but the tape is a good suggestion. just unroll it and leave it in the sun a while so it heats up and lays flat and you're good to go.

Awesome tips guys, this is one of the latest pieces for the garage to be "finished" so I'm pretty pumped about it.

What other work did you do yourself on your garage?
Just wondering... No reason.

LOL, the pour for the lift was done with a truck. Finished it with a buddy who used to do cement finishing work. Two guys are out there installing the lift now, everything else from the studs to the EMT was me.
