Fixing Puppy-Chewed Base Moulding
Lightweight spackle would be easy to use but not durable - several chewed areas are on out-corners of the base. Is there a moldable substance that could be hand-applied and then painted with an acrylic paint? Caulk is really too loose of a substance, and not very application-friendly coming out of a tube. For me, that would be a mess. What should I use?

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Aug 23, 2013From experience, it is best to replace the trim. If you carefully detach it from the wall using small pry bars, you can salvage most of the trim and spend less money and time just adding new trim and repainting all the trim you replaced. When using pry bars, be sure to have some flat piece of wood so you do not push the hammer or pry bar into the sheetrock. Good luck.Helpful Reply
