There are two ways to cut baseboard corners for inside corners. You can cope them or miter them. Mitering your baseboards is far easier, but coping is considered better.

However, in most cases, coping baseboards is overly challenging and a waste of time. In this video, I demonstrate "The Popsicle Stick Trick" for getting perfect inside corners with a mitered joint. This will both save time and make your baseboard project easier.

The first step is to cut your baseboard inside corners at an angle of 44 degrees with a miter saw to compensate for the drywall mud buildup. Cut them just a hair shorter than the distance between the walls to avoid having to make multiple cuts.

Then, check to see if there is a gap in your mitered joint. If so, then this is where the popsicle stick trick works its magic.

Watch the video for full details.
