How To Install Cove Base

[@okay__desi]

Easiest video I've watched thus far. No heating tools or water. I will be using this method this weekend installing cove base in my salon!

[@fendermender65]

Thank you. Well done. After watching this I was able to contract a pretty good job at a retail store that suffered water damage and make a few days of good pay. I am grateful because I am disabled /disengaged from my previous career in the automotive field.

[@jocelynmbrooks5670]

Thank you for the tutorial on how to successfully install cove base. This will be my first time installing it, and I definitely feel confident that I can do it after watching your video. Thank you!

[@lindalou4501]

Really great tutorial! I had some to install in my RV and was afraid of messing it up. Your method works GREAT! Thanks so much! Very clear...not boring...not a lot of dead air...just perfect! Thanks!

[@michaelsolosky53]

Very helpful and complete video. Gave me just what I needed to complete my vinyl cove moulding project. Thanks! Just one thing....smile and have fun with your floors

[@HisDudeness_69]

This is not a complete video. Even though it's titled 'installing" cove base, he should have shown how to prep the walls and the final result of his work. Get off his dick this is in no means a good video I hardly learned shit from it besides shaving the back side of the base and even that is a standard practice so like..... Yea

[@juney5578]

Thanks, answered a lot of questions for me....simple and to the point.

[@Doriesep6622]

Thanks! Helpful. And thanks for hopping right in and not spending five minutes explaining what you are going to do which is already in the title.

[@mbckcannon]

Great video! My hubby put together a grooming room for me (drywall, etc.,) and asked me to put on the cove base, only tell me to 1) probably cut a piece out when I do a corner and 2), don't screw up as he only has 1 foot of possible excess base. LOL, this was the first video I came to and although there aren't close-ups, I know what 90 degrees is as well as knowing not to shave through the corner when thinning. Thanks!

[@furr666]

Excellent video... simple & to the point. Thanks. I esp. like the 'have fun" part too... as most of our lives are spent working so we might as well enjoy it. I like the trades & being hands on even when learning something new like this.

[@jcsmileyu]

Why is the new area not clean/clear - doesn't this make it hard for the material to bond?

[@stretch3815]

hey really enjoy your videos...lotta help..i recently did a curved custom runner ...any videos or tips how you would have done it it came out good but im sure there was an easier method to setting it up.

[@jamesalexander3225]

Literally watching this 10 minutes before I have to walk in work and install it. Never done it before and first time they give me a gymnasium to do. Lmao!!...Video is very helpful 👍👍👍👍👍

[@marcusdhh5056]

Here's a tip instead of butting the factory edge with the wall, from about 1ft of the factory edge take a scrap piece with a factory edge and align the top and bottom and of the material you are using with the 1 ft mark you scribe gently on the reverse side of the rubber base, now you can simply bend where your scribe cut it and slightly bend the material giving you a clean corner not only looks nice but also give your corners a perfect seal everytime I've seen guys like you who have been doing flooring for 30+years and everyone of them does it the way you do well I'm 26 and been an installer since the was 19 and I can say that the way you are teaching is a hack job

[@doncunningham5823]

Very informative and straight to the point I love it man.

[@LibertyFreedom1787]

Thanks! This video helped me get a small bathroom done in no time. Looks decent except for one inside corner I took a bit too much off but that was my fault.

[@hazgmod]

Is that liquid nail adhesive

[@joejeans7913]

you didnt demonstrate the straight butt joint. any 45 degreased cuts ? or dovetail tongue and groove? Im just going to try to butt them together.

[@rustinsparks3581]

Quick and to the point. Appreciated!

[@ereed6864]

Good job sir really helped me out

[@II-sn6rm]

Can you put this in the garage at the gap where the drywall has a space between the concrete floor. I know per code in South Carolina there has to be a space but it doesn't look very attractive

[@chriszickel5085]

Where did you get the tip for that gun

[@theblogofsingh]

I like the ending... "thanks and have fun" lol like that's going to be fun... I have to install this for the whole house!

[@R.H160]

Sukhwinder Singh i hear ya, i got 3200 ft to do myself. not really very much "fun".

[@MrIndyjoe]

Did u ever consider showing a close up of what you were doing without blocking the camera?

[@allenmundorff3941]

At 2:00 and 4:41 you say cut a 90 degree angle. Did you mean two 45 degree angles to make a 90? I've never done cove base. Just asking.

[@nicabraham7310]

Sweet just learned how to put up $3 worth of rubber in 6.06 min. my life just changed so much. I learned to slow down. That means I almost made my company $30 an hour proud to be me

[@lizannetompkins5197]

Simple. Concise. Perfect. Thank you for your help!

[@HisDudeness_69]

Wtf are you smoking on? He didn't show how to prep the walls and he didn't show the final result so like?????????

[@Brohananstein_III_Esquire]

So on those inside corners, are you making a 90 degree "L" or do you butt them up with a 45 degree cut on the edges as you would with wood molding?

[@miguelticona8186]

[@flyfishunt1]

how about "showing " the corner cuts,...inside and out...you were in the way...close up view would have helped...

[@HisDudeness_69]

Seriously, I mean wow.... Not only that but he should have should how to prep the area before installing the new cove base.... Smh

[@emporersteve]

What kind of knee pads are those?

[@salt7379]

Can you move the camera back more?

[@Iam-fh4zz]

It looks like you could use some pointers on how to do it right.

[@joemcginnis6239]

You must be a residential guy. On the commercial side of flooring, you would be on par with a 2nd-year helper at hanging base.

[@steedharold]

very helpful, thanks for posting

[@Brandon10101011]

worst cove base ive ever put down was on an old building with wood paneling on the bottom half of drywall someone before us used gobs of carpet glue or something to fix holes at the bottom of the drywall from previous water damage and man was it a pain someone of the drywall had moisture still and i guess the cove base glue bonded to that other stuff. It was a nightmare i had to put all my weight on it while trying not to splinter the paneling. after that i realized cove base doesnt pay enough.

[@goatbut29]

Thanks for taking the time!

[@HarkonnenDufaux]

Thank you for that instruction. Good tricks of the trade.

[@darryl163]

drinking game take a shot every time he says "cove base"

[@mike84734]

At 50 cents per lf to install I really hope these people appreciate the time you take to make these videos. Because they way I see it you are at a loss with the time it took.

[@AA-zq1sx]

How do you know what anyone else is getting paid? Do it right, and charge accordingly.

[@afewfigs]

This really helps! I'm going to install cove base in my kitchen.

[@jongo816]

When cutting in your inside corner you mean to say nip it off at 45 degrees and not 90.

[@atomant2969]

Thank you for showing me how to do this 20ft away from the camera

[@HisDudeness_69]

Hi sarcastic asshole, if you commented some constructive criticism I wouldn't be called you a sarcastic asshole, or a douchebag. Thanks for not helping whatsoever douchebag 👍

[@stevedepasquale3629]

thanks for your help friend!

[@tinjmail]

you can use cove base on wooden floor? Will it look nice with vinyl plank flooring?

[@randthor9344]

awesome video. thx for the info

[@michaeldoherty2289]

In my opinion you should have taken a little time and trimmed all that excess loose wallboard paper off the wall. You need a clean, sound surface to glue to. Those tattered walls are not too good..

[@bobadiag]

thank you,! good video.!

[@BAZZAROU812]

How too read the back of my T shirt...

[@HisDudeness_69]

Yea this guy sucks at KZbin. I don't understand how such a shitty video has so many views.... Like wow....

[@jhonhack4954]

People won't be able to mark there out side corners by rubbing it against the wall like that in a lot of situations.... I usually use my pen pencil or knife. The inside corners I some times dent with a screw driver some times so I don't cut it or mark it

[@gerardjones7881]

good video....of the wall.

[@de4llyfe798]

Maybe a better cam angle

[@GrossmontWarriors33]

am i suppose to cut towards me?? Like at second 0:33 ?? Momma said never cut towards you

[@mikerichardson7756]

Looks like he's using a carpet knife. Which I dont recommend unless you also know how to use a carpet stretcher.

[@chuckkeller3899]

The installer is knowledgeable, but I needed a closer shot of the cuts.

[@KennethMcBrine]

why are you using a carpet knife??

[@lostintime8651]

hmmm you are in the way. hard to see. but still good

[@HisDudeness_69]

How do you figure? He didn't show how to prep the wall let alone the final product like bruh.... Wtf are you smokin on thinking that this is a good video? Seriously, I want to know 😂

[@trick1000]

Thanks!

[@j8ke937]

Has anyone told you never to cut towards you?

[@prozyprecisioninstallation5015]

I have to agree with DonnieottTV. I'm a union Floorlayer and that had to be the worst install I've ever seen...lol. I've been installing floors for almost 9 yrs and I can run on average a 1, 000 feet of cove base in a 8 hour day. So, I know what I'm talking about. First, NEVER use a carpet knife...lol. Second, I would use dividers only like Donnie said, if the wall is out of square. If its not out, I would just score the back, cut a triangle out of the toe and flip it in in one piece. Honestly, I would erase the video. You make yourself look dumb.

[@karin5647]

It would help if the camera showed what you are actually doing. All we see is your back. How about some better camera angles?

[@mikerichardson7756]

Yeah right!!!! Hope you're better at flooring

[@mfrank3518]

He’s not

[@wallyjackieturgeon3070]

Need a camera person so we can see how it’s done.

[@iLikeFish-j2c]

"Vinyl Skirting", Heat Gun & Contact Adhesive, You would have been done an hour ago ;)

[@pameliafaison-davis1148]

Vinyl skirting

[@vkdub8809]

Good for homeowners but not the way a professional should do. First of all you should never start a piece of cove base at the corner no seams in the corners. You kind of did the outside corner right but I guarantee you it was not tight. And then on the following inside corner it looks like you put a slit at the top of the base that’s another no no then you free handed instead of using a square to make a nice crisp corner with a sloppy cut in the toe. You would be learning how to install base the correct way if you worked for me.

[@jannadeau9848]

i would like to learn how to install one correctly

[@guybartlett9587]

thank you!!!!

[@youthanek]

thats strip of thing he is holding is a cove base? are you sure??!!

[@theeclecticsongsterexperie1960]

Apparently, you don't know what a 90° angle is. I'm pretty sure you mean 45°.

[@rustyshackleford3514]

“ If the wall isn’t square, you’ll have to cut a notch into it.” …… proceed to move cove base out of camera view to do this.🤔

[@CARPETMAN6666]

So I show up to a new job and do a few things here and there first week many asked me if I can install baseboard like you're doing I said sure but he doesn't want me to buy anything he wants me to use what he has which is a can of 77 adhesive and a can of 78 adhesive which of those who don't know what it is it's for installing styrofoam on surfaces this is the kind of a guy good if he tells you to do something that way he's not going to listen to anything you have to say so I do it it's only 60 degrees inside and the outside walls I'm installing it on are cold it takes me about three hours I'm putting it back up again and again trying to get it to stick and he shows up after 4 hours and asked if I'm going to milk this job all day. I think I'm going to be looking for a new job not necessarily a new job but a new boss

[@1spencerj]

what a hack. next time I do base, ill post a video and show people how its really done. perfect inside and outside corners every time and half the time

[@Maxid1]

Ok, It's been a year so I'm going to your channel to watch the video you promised. (edit) Hey look at that, you didn't make a video. I'm shocked...

[@AA-zq1sx]

please do there are way too many hack wall base videos on YT, I need to see a professional grade job for once

[@bruceselman709]

It would be nice if you actually showed what you were doing. Reposition the camera.

[@lostintime8651]

+Bruce Selman I have learned from watching youtube that talented knowledgeable people don't have friends. i.e. someone to hold the camera. lol

[@thomasjcox]

Are you sure it’s not just called baseboard? People who say this just use extra words to make it sound more important than it really is

[@norocketsciencebuild5371]

Allow all the hate!!! That's his way and you have your ways!

[@rocknrollbabyhead]

I hope this is a joke. If not, get into selling used cars.... I would have fired you the second you started...LOL

[@cassieanthony6228]

ichat with your cove base huh

[@hustleboy2897]

Lol didn't even do the first corner right

[@dandavitt2858]

THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT. THIS GUY IS CLUELESS.

[@craighatch3587]

Your cameraman need to get up close when you’re trying to show how to do an outside cat. You’re using a razor blade and a very fine thin piece of cove base. If you’re trying to help people, you aren’t! Get someone that can get close-ups of what you’re doing so your person watching can see what the heck you’re doing.

[@Dave-fb9mo]

I stopped watching when he took out a carpet knife to hang cove base. lol

[@NateBFlooring]

lmao I did too!

[@frank00oo27]

Carpet guy😮

[@captainchaos3053]

Dave W I stopped watching when he cut the tube towards himself and flicked the piece at his own face!

[@eriklee7166]

use scribbers

[@kylemorgan2150]

Some of the comments here are a joke.the guy has clearly helped a few people according to the comments.Where are your tutorials? Probably dont have any huh.

[@LITEWRENCH]

1

[@prozyprecisioninstallation5015]

If you want to learn how to base, join a union flooring campany or just ask a union floorlayer. Whatever you do, don't follow these instructions...lol

[@Untanas]

Scott Prozy i don't deal with unions anymore, they just come up with excuses to not do their jobs lol

[@johnwalsh2750]

this is straight butch work come on bro you shouldn't be showing people how to put up butch work where are your bent leg dividers for your inside corners that's the proper way to scribe your peice also you don't even show anything your in the way and your using a carpet knife come on man

[@rbutler1519]

Hack

[@madmade6877]

Cant see your work..poor camera work

[@picker2266]

Amateur!!! Must be in the union😂

[@eriklee7166]

You just don't know what you are doing

[@modok1313]

omg way to slow use a base knife like a pro and butter the wall

[@chrisb4504]

[@jhonhack4954]

[@clintonlowen]

This is crazy, so much anxiety, please stop😢

[@timcox5541]

Cove base gun huh 😂😂😂 it’s a caulk gun

[@Goldpenny1]

Wow! Another useless unreviewed KZbin video. Do most people just like to waste other people's time? It really seems that way. Thanks for nothing. Once again I shall figure this out withOUT the help of y'all. I think their is something seriously wrong with this lead paint, once leaded gas generation.

[@maxwe11a]

What did any of that have to do with the video

[@CoveBaseDolly]

Nope

[@antantt1689]

This is a terrible way

[@738polarbear]

lousy video is not showing you close ups.

[@OffendingTheOffendable]

+738polarbear he did it himself no union camera man doing close ups oh well

[@razzzzrsharp]

Terrrible video😂😂😂😂😂
