I DO NOT reccomend this. you will know its there but future homeowners will not. they change baseboards and start shorting circuits and the thermostat does nothing or goes bonkers.......... drill the center of the studs or if your near the edge put up a stricker plate and atleast its done properly.

If they changed the baseboards in the future they'd see the wiring, but I guess you guys are doing thermostats...we did the wiring for our surround sound speakers the way I mentioned. Future owners won't be inheriting our surround sound, so it's a non-issue.

Is that a new thing? or the norm these days?

Normally they are nailed on and then the visible edge is siliconed.
Chances are it's silicone not glue.

I've removed lots that were glued on. Not fun

I've heard that from lots of people. Must be a "homeowner special"
Current normal practice is using a brad nailer.

Ya, place, nail, seal top seam and corners. Some older houses have weird framing though, and hitting wood with the nails is random
