Hi all - I started sanding down the skirting boards in the living room & bedrooms 3 weeks ago. In some places, the paint has stripped down to bare wood, which is in good condition. In other places there are layers of gloss, which is just not shifting.
I know that I need to prime the bare wood and I can then undercoat and paint the whole skirting. However, if there are areas with old gloss on, this is going to create an uneven surface.
Do I fill the areas that are not even (most of the skirting) or just give up and have new skirting fitted? The bedrooms have been plastered, will it ruin the plaster to pull the skirting off?
Am slightly losing the will to live and think life is too short to be faffing around with skirting board. Any ideas will be very welcome. Thank you
