Can anyone tell me where to find directions for installing base trim with the corner blocks? I need details about size of finishing nails, should I pre-drill wood, etc. I am using these with base molding, and I purchased them from Lowes. I am using the wood molding that is primed.

I have searched internet without success. I can find instructions for crown molding, but not for baseboard trim.

Thank you.

You would install these blocks with #8 finish nails. It would be a good idea to drill the holes before you nail through the block. Use a nail set to avoid dinging the wood.

Hope this helps.
