Attaching ceiling and floor moldings
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

I use a good baseboard screw. Like this one.

It's insanely good at tightening the moldings. So far, I haven't filled the holes with putty, but in future renovations, I will putty through the screw holes, seal, and then paint the moldings.

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?

I use PL200 and sparsely with brads where needed, yes no wall is 100% straight.
I also use PL200.

Is there any difference between these 2 latex sealants, a big price difference?
