PAINTING Mouldings can be painted either before installation or after. It is up to the installer. Use a high quality ALL Acrylic Latex paint. To cover seams, nail holes also use painter's All-Purpose Acrylic Latex Caulk. MEASURING AND CUTTING RPS Baseboard mouldings should be cut ¼” longer when filling a gap. It would spring into place. We recommend using a blade with 60 teeth or better. Make sure to cut quickly for a clean cut. Quick strokes will avoid melting the material.
