Anyone know if they make inside and outside corners for vinyl base boards? I have trouble cutting neat corners.

I used 3 or 4?" in my bath, and yes they had both corners. Big Name lumber places should have them. Lowes, Home Depot, those sort of places. A tile place might have. Think Tile Mart went out of busines around here, they had them. Trying to bend for me just made the corners not want to stick and pulled away or bulged there. Even with the Cove Base cement.

Hey there ww;
For heating that vinyl base,you might try using a hair blow-dryer, set on high.Just might do the job,
without chance of burning the base.

You can get the pre-made inside and outside corners but most likely you will have special order them. I would follow the direction BLH and CH. I never thought of heating it but I bet it would work good. I have always used a square and a utility knife.

For the outside corners, I just use a utility knife and a Swanson square to take a v shaped strip out of the back of the molding and bend it around the corner. For the inside corners, I use the square and a my utility knife to cut a straight edge to work with, works every time. Also make sure that your utility knife blade is good and sharp.

If I remember correctly (going back 35 years) I was working as carpenter watching the tile man do vinal baseboard. He would heat the vinal with a propane torch to bend the corner, never used any premade corners. I'll bet it takes a little practise to get the right amount of heat.
