I've used Instant Nails from Toolstation at £1.30 in the past, very good for skirting boards Used the same for PVC cladding in a kitchen, I'm just a DIYer not a professional like you Love your videos, very imformative & entertaining Thanks
Hi Painting and Decorating. Love the channel, best decorating channel on YT as far as I’m concerned and I especially like how you guys are straightforward and to the point. I’ve got a question, a different subject matter to this video. With regards to using heavily diluted PVA to seal bare plaster before painting, do you think it would be an issue if I was to do this and then leave it quite a while, several months, before actually painting? I ask as I’m currently renovating my house, re-skimming at the moment. I was thinking I could seal the bare plaster with PVA prior to fitting architraves, skirtings and coving and this would allow me to avoid getting any PVA on the mouldings and make life a bit easier, saving having to clean any PVA from them. Also, do you know of an approximate ratio for diluting the PVA or do you just go by feel? I have been apprehensive to try this method but the logic seems sound to me and the only reason I feel I shouldn’t is because people say you shouldn’t! Except for you guys and I trust your judgement.
Should be fine and will help any adhesives used to stick better.. Any filling may need to be sealed prior to painting. Milky water allow it to soak in and not sit on the surface. thanks.
Yo! Quick Q for you or any other deccy's out there: How often do you apply water based eggshell without using an undercoat? I have always undercoated but was recently pressed for time on a job and using Albany eggshell. I had to add a fair bit of Floetrol just to get the paint on, it was so thick. Hardly even needed 2 coats. I often de-grease, rub down then use Bullseye.. Belt and braces approach. Hardly ever use dedicated undercoat. Keen to hear any feedback. TIA
Mitres Gona open like a birds mouth when heat and cold in room due to contraction,mitres have to be glued and panel pinned,skirting shud be nailed at intervals,nails punched and filled
Been sticking like this for years, always glued the mitres, never used pins or screws! Been back to do other things over the years, not moved a bit! It’s the way forward ..R
Well it is getting foamed to fill in all the gaps which like I said in the video will secure the skirting even more.. in the other video that was a fix of a skirting that had come loose after the joiner had finished..
@@richard01206 watch the video from m.ruclips.net/video/WPR08TlSLBI/видео.html. He said he always fixes with expanding foam and pins it afterwards. Never heard him say fill voids.

Thank you
You couldn’t have timed this better. Had to fit skirting in a room this weekend and bought this stuff and glad I did. Thanks 👍
Its good stuff I have used it on lead flashing and indian stone cappings lasted for years
Those bits of skirting are now better fixed than all the others in the place

Eggshell does not need an undercoat generally treat it like emulsion. Thanks
@@PaintingandDecorating Thanks Bud - Enjoy the weekend!
My brother stuck my sink on with this stuff trouble is he didn't get it level so the water collects
I have used silicone before as long as it doesn't squirt out of the top or bottom its ace.
Lots of different sealants can be used like you say you need to be careful you may not be able to paint them.
@@PaintingandDecorating your tips are Brilliant I used the expanding foam to help stick a skirting boards where a pipe was near.
@@iancrampsie4541 Thank you.
Hi P&D
I would've put some wood glue on the mitres..
Mitre bond is the one. Magic stuff.
Mitre bond and activator spray
I would have liked to have seen some adhesive on the external mitre too
Was going to but with it being foamed and filled as well.... thought that would be enough.
@@PaintingandDecorating thats fair enough, I like to be belt and braces, I could see from before the carpenter had tried to mitre mate it!
How long the adhesive takes to dry.

It will be fine the joint was foamed along with all the gaps.. no need for pins with it being a small section. thanks.

Skillbuilder just posted a video on sticking skirting with foam. And no foam used here. Has the world gone mad?
Well it is getting foamed to fill in all the gaps which like I said in the video will secure the skirting even more.. in the other video that was a fix of a skirting that had come loose after the joiner had finished..
@@PaintingandDecorating James on SB used it to fix it completely. He's a great builder. I thought you used this technique too.
If you actually watched skill builders video properly you’d see he used the foam to fill any voids and screwed the skirting on 👍

Must have missed that bit 🤦♂️
