How to Install Wainscoting

Miter panel molding at 45 degrees to line the inside edges of the panels. If your molding is delicate, like ours, just glue it in place. For thicker trim, nail it in place with a nail gun and 1½-inch finishing nails. Once all the pieces are installed, fill all nail holes with wood filler, and joints with latex caulk. Let dry. Sand the surfaces, prime the plywood, and finish the project with several coats of paint.
