17. Run the base cap in the same order as the baseboard. To cope the inside corner of the base cap for a tight fit, first cut one end at a 45-degree angle as if you were cutting an inside miter.
18. Use a coping saw to cut along the profile left by the miter. Angle your coping saw back slightly (back cut) to get a tighter fit on the face of the profile.
