I am going to fit some skirting boards tonight. I have decided to screw rather than no nails. And also to counterbore the screw holes and then to cut angular wood plugs, glue and knock them in and then sand down. I think this will give me best finish as I wish to woodstain the skirting afterwards.
My query is, I do not have the wood plug cutting tool at the moment - being delivered tomorrow. But I still want to fix the skirting tonight. Does anyone know on the angular/chamfered wood plugs whether the dimension stated is the thinnest end of the plug or the fattest end? I'll then be able to counterbore the holes to correct thickness tonight.
I have ordered a set of plug cutters, a 6mm, 10mm, 13mm and 16mm.
