You don't use the nailset until the nail is already all the way in or nearly so. It lets you push the nail below the surface of the trim, it's not for general hammering.

If you have a 1/16" drillbit, you might try drilling some pilot holes. You can also pre-hammer the nails into the trim, so that they're poking out a bit from the other side before you put the trim in place. Then you just press it in and hammer the nails the rest of the way.

If all else fails and you know you'll never want to remove the trim, there's construction adhesive.

Okay yeah that makes sense. I think I will just do the holes in the moulding and the vanity beforehand as you said.

Right, yes, that's the other thing I meant to mention. The finishing nails you should be using are barely bigger in diameter than the nail set.

They actually are just barely bigger, but yeah... this is just what the person at the store said to use with this moulding. Are you saying it's too long?

It's both too long and too thick of a diameter. That's probably 1/2" quarter round, so all you need is a 3/4" tack nail

Okay thanks. They certainly had that but I asked for something white so that's what he pointed me too. I didn't realize I could just putty over the nail head because I'm new to all this. Is the diameter really too high? It looks to be 1/8".

Okay I'll just get the shorter ones. What kind of diameter do I want? 1/16"? As I said the nailset I got was 1/32"

How many people sit on a stool without at least one foot under it?

And as amusing as it is to sit on giant solo cups, they don't go with anything.

It's shabby chic, the latest fad. You're so rich you can afford to buy expensive products that are carefully designed to look like they've spent the last fifty years being exposed to the elements.
