Is there a tip or techique I can use for installing a base modling
over a tile floor that has a slight bow. If I place the modling
against the wall and push on either end the molding moves a 1/4 on the
other end. The section I am installing the modling on is about 6 feet
long.

Scribe it to the floor

-or-

Use a quarter round

-or-

Eat your Wheaties and push the floor down really hard
and nail the baseboard in place.

Sorry, that last suggestion might not work.

professionals push the floor down and then come back in a month and install
crown molding in the room below to cover the warped ceiling down there...

The bad news is that if the floor has a bow the joists are probably not
installed correctly and the tile will crack. That is one reason I will
never use ceramic tile again. We had one low joist in our new home in the
bathroom and after 6 months got a crack the entire length of the master
bath.
