To give a professional look to trim
installation, drill pilot nail holes straight through the beveled trim edge with a bit slightly smaller than your finishing
nail. This helps to avoid splitting the oak. When the pilot holes are drilled, squeeze a bead of wood glue on each face
of the back side (Figure 3).
Lay the trim in place and drive in finishing nails through the pilot holes (Figure 4). With a nail punch, counter sink
finishing nails. Fill the countersunk nail holes with wood
filler. Consult wood filler label directions for use and drying times.
When filler is dry, use a fine grade sandpaper to sand the trim in the same direction as the grain until the wood is
smooth. Using a flat sanding block helps to keep joints sharp and square. When finished sanding, wipe the trim and
surrounding areas with a tack cloth to remove dust.
