If you don't want to nail, but just glue the trim and molding, can you do this in such a way that you can remove the trims without damaging the wall and trim?
Ideally, I would like to glue the trims so they sit neatly without gaps and can also be removed without breaking the trims or having plaster come off the wall. And where the dried glue can be easily scraped off.
Would it be suitable to place dabs, the size of a 10-crown coin, every 50cm? Should I put a latex bead against the wall to make it visually tight against the wall? What type of glue won't adhere too strongly so it doesn't damage the trim/wall upon removal? (For instance, when laying new flooring, sanding the floor, or skim coating the wall)
It might be that my brad nailer can penetrate both the trim and "porous"-plastered old wall, and the nails are long enough, allowing for easier removal, but I want to avoid nail heads and marks, even if they are small.

If you have painted the trims yourself, it's fine to putty over any marks from the brad nailer and then paint another coat with the trims in place. Make sure all brads/nails are driven in a bit. I've done it this way, and it becomes completely invisible. With pre-painted, unpainted, or painted with non-covering paint, of course, it doesn't work.Dracula said:

Optimally, I want to glue the trims so that they fit nicely without gaps and can be removed without breaking the trim or having plaster come off the wall. And where the dried glue can easily be scraped off.
Would it be suitable to place blobs, the size of a 10-krona, every 50cm? Should you apply a latex line against the wall for a completely tight visual against the wall? What type of glue should be used so that it doesn't stick too strongly and damage the trim or wall during removal? (For example, when you want to lay new flooring, sand the floor, or apply a new coat of plaster to the wall)
