How to add wall moulding?

Hello,

 

So this platform has been very helpful to me in reading about the wall moulding and seeing projects. I am on my way to start the home improvement journey and stage 1 is the panel mould trim in the hallway walls which at the moment look dull. 

 

I just need clarification / assistance with the below queries:

 

- I will be using liquid nails as adhesive for the mould. Is it better to just use the nails ( I have a Ryobi brad nailer) at the studs instead of the liquid nails. I have heard removing liquid nail adhesion will ruin the wall. Also i only intend to nail at the studs and not drywall.

 

- The over spill and the squeeze of the liquid nails.  is it easy to remove?

 

- Where do I nail the mould panel at? is there a specific location i need to be aiming at and what angle is the best? perfectly horizontal will be fine?

 

- The panel mould i have got is not primes. I want to install on the wall and then paint afterwards. will this be problem? the top rail is primed. the profile of the mould is this : Porta 30x12mm 2.4m Panel Mould Clear Pine - Bunnings Australia

 

- Do i need to clean the walls or do any pre work on the wall before hand? Thats because the paint is fresh on the wall when i bought the house a couple of years ago so i want to painting the walls again but will paint the panel moulds.

 

Thanks and looking forward to sharing some photos soon.

Hello,

 

I used low sheen paint. There was also an option to do semi gloss paint on the moulding. However, I proceeded to do low sheen on the entire project.
