   How about contact cement? brush both surfaces, let 'em tack up, press in place, rub off any squeeze-out with your finger, done.

   Use construction adhesive and pin in place to hold until glue sets. Actually, I use caulk. I had a job where I installed shadow boxes in a dinning room per the builders request. The home buyer did not want them. You should have seen the mess it made trying to remove them about a month later. Needless to say, the caulk holds very well, squeeze out cleans easily, is painter friendly, fills voids and dips in drywall, and is cheap. Now, if it were structural, I'd surely use glue.

   I like TiteBond's molding glue. It thick enough that it doesn't drip.

   Apply to the back of the mouldings, and tack it in place with a few brads from your gun.

   Titebond's Moulding & Trim white glue w/ a few nails will work as Shep said.

   I have tried the Loctite Power Grab in the self-pressurized cannister and it works (and stores / keeps) well also.

   Either will work, kind of depends on just how big / heavy the moulding is ---- if it is light enough and does not require bending, either of these will work with just the blue painter's tape to hold it in place until it dries -- no nail holes to fill!

   When still wet, Titebond excess can be removed with just a damp cloth, PowerGrab requires solvent. Might be a factor.

   Never underestimate the value of a sharp pencil or good light.

   moulding is 3/4"x3/4". Its a false wainscoting. Some painters installed some on a job I was on, and I liked it. I've been routing and ripping 1xs for two days.

   I 'spect you will need a few nails with that unless the run is very short.

   All of the above. Wood to wood I like yellow glue. Wood to rock I use construction adhesive, the one for paneling & molding is good 'cause it grabs. I like the Liquid Nails Heavy Duty. Not as messy as PL 400, and the hold is almost as good. Either one you know it's going to hold.
   If it's small stuff, I would go with the molding glue as Shep said. It's good stuff.
