Old lady home owner here, having plucked up the courage to do this "simple" job myself!
I am covering an unused internal Victorian panelled door with hardboard.
I plan to panel-pin the board to the door frame, sink and fill and sand the holes. (Or should I use screws?)
I have had a piece of hardboard cut to fit but the door frame measures 79w at the top and 80w at the base so I had it cut to 79cm. As well as covering up this irregularity cosmetically, I will also need to finish off all three edges of the hardboard to make a neat and tidy job before I prime the hardboard and then finish off with emulsion to match the existing wall.
A long explanation to ask a fairly simple question:
What should I use to get a really good cosmetic finish where the hardboard abuts the door frame? I already have in my DIY cupboard caulk in a gun, powder filler and silicon sealer with a gun.
Many thanks, and any other tips on this little (to you) but scary (to me) job welcome!
