In that case what would you do Just run a right angle straight into the wall and leave tht whole edge? I'll aso take a measurement of house much room I have to play with!

Exactly right! Probably be better to run it to the bottom and cut the back edge of the skirting off like you suggested. Here's a picture http://img525.imageshack.us/i/imagejqy.jpg/ I'm also looking to use 119mm mdf torus Would you suggest anything else like just running the back mould...

Will I need to take an edge out of the skirting board too?

I most certainly do. I was ideally looking for a round cap, but they all seem to be slightly too big

Anyone know where I could get one? Cheers Jacka

Another one. I've decided I'm going to use a 3/4 quarter round on one of the walls where there's no room for a back mould. How do I finish the skirt into that round?

Never thought about those, but don't think they would go well in our house as it's a post war semi

I a couple of rooms in my house the skirting boards run directly into the back mould at 90 degrees. To finish this do I scribe out the skirt on the back mould or do I just butt it up to it? Cheers Jacka

cheers I'll be going through plaster into some wood batens where they haven't came off. The rest will be going into thermalite bricks

Obviously I would imagine this will vary depending on the wall but what would be a standard screw size for fixing skirting boards to a house? Cheers Jacka

No damp and they'll be glossed, that's why I thought mdf. Plus they'll be pre primed! Will I still need to undercoat? Regarding the chisel and glass paper I assume you mean just shape the mitre to what I need? Cheers for the help Jacka

Hi all After just dealing with issues, I’ll move on to the next! As mentioned in my previous post I’ve just bought a repossessed house and it’s been a can of worms. Just layed the cables, plasterers are in this weekend, so I’ve taken the jubilee week off to do the skirting boards and...
