Step 7: Cut the molding top.
To make the installation easy, we have cut down the top of ordinary clamshell molding to create a flat, one-quarter-inch bed upon which to rest one-third-inch medium density fiberboard, or MDF, beadboard paneling. When we install the beadboard, it will be measured to sit right on top of this floor molding with the edges lining up with the middle of a stud, which makes the installation much easier.
