I get a kick out of all the comments about the equipment ....a miter saw is pretty common equipment in any home - even my buddy's wife bought one for craft projects. I have several trim nailers - but those that don't just need a hammer and trim nails, lol. Not sure about all the complaining - like the vids tho, ya'll have another subscriber!
Removed vinyl bathroom floor/wall moulding and wish to replace it with PVC trim (Veranda 7318@Home Depot). BUT - a lot of very sticky adhesive, (which doesn't play well with Goo Gone or acetone) remains. I expect that I'll be using Loctite 3X PL Premium as adhesive for the PVC , but what do I need to do about all the old sticky adhesive that remains???? Please reply to this new subscriber - thank you!
Your on the right track. You’ll have to figure out what adhesive was used and then check the manufacturers recommendation for the adhesive to figure out what to use to clean it. Be careful the cleaner doesn’t wreck the floor or trim you are cleaning though. Good luck !
@@DIYDudes Since the adhesive was so thick and sticky, I decided to use a hair dryer (could've used my heat gun, but I've better heat control with the hair dryer), to melt the adhesive enough to scrape (at least most of it) off with a putty knife. It worked, and my new knotty Pine baseboard is looking good! I did a 1/2" "round over" on the end/edge that abuts the bath tub. I've come up with a better idea than using the putty knife to scrape the melted adhesive - simply stick heavy-duty kraft paper to the adhesive, then heat the paper so that the adhesive bonds with it, then pull off the kraft paper, with the adhesive on it (can then be re-purposed as a roll of fly-catching paper or mouse trap or to slow the approach of zombies). Reapply additional paper as necessary to remove as much adhesive as possible. This thinking man's tip is from Usernamemykel, who thinks thoughts. Thank you!
@@DIYDudes The vinyl baseboard had pre-applied adhesive, and was probably installed in 1984 - so finding out what adhesive was used would be as difficult as counting the hairs on my butt without a mirror. That's why I needed to come up with a stand-alone (which I try to do in public restrooms) solution.
OH!!! I mentioned initially that I was going to use Veranda PVC trim, but went instead with knotty Pine, which would receive several coats of clear gloss finish. I LOVE knotty Pine, and seeing it while sitting on the throne, thinking up societal decrees to administer, would be awesome, I thought.
Hi, can you please advise me asap, as I urgently need to know if PVC scotia trim is better quality and more durable to place around bedroom and livingroom in my property instead of MDF ? As MDF can attract mould if water from washing the floor would get under it, but PVC can't get mouldy. Or is it best to put silicone around? I have a new LVT planks Clik plus flooring. Please advise. Thanks a lot in advance
The mdf trim wouldn’t get any more or less moldy than your drywall As long as you are using a normal amount of moisture to mop the floor (damp not soaked) I wouldn’t worry about it. PVC trim is probably 10x the price of mdf. Good luck!
@@DIYDudes, Thank you sooooo very much for your prompt and kind advice regarding MDF and PVC. I hugely appreciate it. I also need to ask you just one more thing please, that if I will use the PVC scotia trim around my bedroom and living room, shell I first also put a silicone behind it or not ? As when my new LVT planks Click Plus flooring was just recently done, there is a small around 5mm gap left around neer the walls deliberately as it will be expanding or shrinking from warmth or cold. So I would like to ask you if that 5mm gap needs to be first siliconed and then PVC scotia trim to be placed on the top of the silicone, or just to put the PVC trim without the silicone, yes, no and why ? Please advise, thanks a lot. And if the PVC scotia should be pinned down or glued down ? I prefer to pin it down for it to last longer as maybe if it will be glued it will come of later in the future. Please advise. Thanks a lot in advance.
I just installed vinyl plank flooring in my bathroom. My understanding is that, because I need to waterproof the edges (perimeter) of the room (and around tub), I need to caulk the bottom of the trim too. Is that what you would do too?
Hey there. Honestly I think that would be overkill unless you are planning on having a lot of splashing to the point your having running water on the floor
Also if there’s any chance water can escape the shower and collect near the baseboards, or if the toilet tends to sweat. Both were issues in my bathroom and the drywall near the floor suffered the consequences due to water damage. Now that I’ve fixed the walls I’m redoing all the baseboard with PVC trim and will be using 100% silicone caulk around the bottoms. Don’t use MDF trim in a bathroom because it soaks up water like a sponge!
I just happen to have big tools but there are much smaller versions of these out there.... the more diy you do the more you will get comfortable with the tools.... good luck!
Just the video I needed to upgrade my son's bathroom
Thanks for watching!

@@DIYDudes if you have kids I would do it. They get water everywhere

Nice Mazda in the driveway.
Thanks Scott. It is very practical
Are you using MDF baseboard or some kind of vinyl for moisture?
No just regular trim board made from mdf. Moisture isn’t a problem here… ideally you shouldn’t have a moisture issue anywhere in your home
I'll be using PCV. Is it necessary to paint and can I use glue instead of nails?
I would still paint it, you could use glue yes. Use like a “no nails” product
paint and caulk make a carpenter what he’s not
Sure do!
What about the toliet inlet? How did you work around that?
Just slide the board behind and nail either side. If you have to you can remove the toilet
@@DIYDudes My trim is taller than the inlet?
Cut a notch or drill a hole in the trim, as appropriate (I’m in the same boat)
dang that baseboard looked pretty good before you removed it.
Yes it wasn’t that bad. Just had a big chunk missing out of a piece. Thanks for watching!
He says it is the easiest project and no tools much but uses big tools which scares DIY factor...!
I just happen to have big tools but there are much smaller versions of these out there.... the more diy you do the more you will get comfortable with the tools.... good luck!
No special tools? 🤔
Basic saws and nailing equipment is all
You need
Nice job, but carpet in the bathroom is gross
Thanks… it’s not carpet though check out our other video on laying flooring over tile
