I'll just jump right into it.

First, I'm looking for advice on how to transition between different
types of baseboards. I need to go from a quarter round to a 2 3/8"
standard baseboard. It's also where we transition from wood to
carpet. I guess just looking at the picture could explain it better.

<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://
picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5sfP1EGCFW7scl_t8WCLBA?
feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_pZXoqNaTbCU/
SgDdPPwv7jI/AAAAAAAAGLg/Z_yYMfOLlLA/s144/IMG_1830.JPG" /></a></td></
tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-
align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/darren.grimsley/
Others?feat=embedwebsite">Others</a></td></tr></table>

How can I handle this?

Second question....I've been staining and polyurethaning lots of
baseboard with no major problems to speak of until I had to go to Home
Depot to get 16' pieces for the stairs because Lowes only had 10' foot
pieces. With the Home Depot pieces I got this weird white...stuff (is
the only way I can describe it) when I applied the polyurethane. Any
idea what could have caused it on these two pieces? I think I did
everything the same on these piece as I did on the others, but it
certainly could have been my fault...I just don't know why.

<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://

Thanks for any help/insight you can provide,
Darren

Right, just what the OP needs for his question on baseboards -
spamming engineers.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but FOAD.

Dumbass.

On going from the quarterround to standard moulding, I would cut a
"Return" on the standard moulding, then but the quarterRound to it.
If your not familiar with "Returns", you cut the end at a 45 degree
angle then cut another piece at the opposite 45 degree and match them
up. This gives the appearance of an outside corner the goes back to
the wall. Then you can just but the QR up to it. If the QR is wider
than then standard, you could Return the QR as well.
