How can I attach 25 feet of quarter-round oak molding to drywall?

Do I pre-drill the oak molding?

(I do not have a nail-gun).
When using finish nail in molding, I blunt the sharp end of the nail
beforehand. This allows the nail to 'punch' a path in the wood rather
than 'squeezing' into the wood and possibly splitting the wood.


Great advice. That's also good practice when toe nailing when framing.
