Hello,
While I need help buying a miter saw, I'm also creating this thread.
How do you recommend attaching ceiling and floor moldings to drywall and gypsum ceilings?

I've used plugs and screws before, but that was in a concrete apartment, and it doesn't look that nice on the moldings.
I've seen craftsmen using nail guns, but I've never used one and don't have one either; I don't think it's easy to use when you've never done it before, or is it something that's mostly recommended?
Is it recommended to glue, and if so, with which glue? Please provide a link if possible.

Thanks in advance

The gypsum boards on the walls are attached to horizontal studs both at the floor and ceiling.

I fasten the moldings with molding/baseboard screws.
 
Thank you.

Should one use baseboard screws for ceiling moldings as well, or will it look ugly?
But for the drywall where it's not known if there is a wooden board behind, what is recommended then, is it enough to screw cc60 where the wooden studs are?

Should one pre-drill before screwing in baseboard screws?
Is 42mm long enough instead of 57mm?

Thank you in advance
 
I use PL200 and sparsely with brads where needed, yes no wall is 100% straight.
 
I also screw the ceiling moldings.

Whether 42 mm long screws are sufficient or not depends on the type of molding, whether it is single or double plasterboard, and the angle of the screw.
