Fasten the baseboard with 1 13/16" 18 gauge brads. Shoot your brads in on an angle in an x-pattern, this will lock the baseboard to the drywall only, and not bounce off the Polysteel. (Don’t go crazy with the brads). Use just enough nailing to hold the baseboard while the adhesive caulking dries.
From contributor R: I had to do one years ago, and I removed a 3'' strip of drywall from the entire home, then screwed 1/2 plywood to the metal studs. I countersunk the screws in the plywood and shot the base on with 1'' brads. The one I worked on had 2 x 4 trimmers in openings to set the pre-hung doors. From contributor J: Remember, construction adhesive and hot melt work well together, but you must plan properly.
