Before you glue skirting boards
Before fixing your skirting boards with glue, it's important to ensure the area that's being glued is clean and free-from dust and grease. The area must also be fully dry before applying the skirting board adhesive.
Next, take time to measure the sizes of skirting board required so you can order enough boards to meet your needs. Be sure to consider the necessary cuts (for example, for corners), which may cause waste.
Tip: Depending on the skirting boards you're using, they may require sanding. Typically, MDF boards won't require sanding, however, softwood or hardwood boards may need lightly sanding or treating before fitting.
Once you're skirting boards are ready, gather all necessary materials.
