Baseboards are boards placed at the foot of walls, along the floor, inside a building. Serving both decorative and functional purposes, they allow, among other things: Concealment of joints, spaces left by floor installers at the base of walls to allow wood to expand; Prevention of carpets and linoleums from coming loose at the base of walls.
It is strongly recommended to sand wooden mouldings before applying primer. Applying a finishing coat becomes easier and further enhances the natural resistance of white pine. It is suggested to paint the mouldings with a higher gloss level than that of the walls. This will highlight their curves while making maintenance easier. Temperature and humidity changes in the house (sunlight, radiators, fireplaces, or other heat sources) can cause resin seepage, even through the stain. Clean the resin with turpentine if this happens. Apply a sealer to all four sides of the mouldings to prevent resin from dripping (consult your paint company for the appropriate sealer). Allow the wood to acclimate to the air and ambient heat for 48 to 72 hours before installation. Avoid long-term storage in the basement or an unheated garage.
