How can I attach 25 feet of quarter-round oak molding to drywall?
You don't; it won't stay put. You attach it to the framing *behind* the
drywall.
Obviously, it's proper technique to nail into studs and/or sole plate,
but if you run across the situation, you can hold trim to drywall but
cross nailing. One nail goes in at an angle aiming to the left and
another adjacent nail goes in at an angle aiming to the right.
I did this with relatively small amount of trim in an office that had
double 5/8" drywall and steel studs. It held very tightly.
