Oak architrave - what colour chaulk

[mrbg07546]

Hi. We installed some oak are tribe on a set of doors we installed. We noticed between the wall and the architrave there's a gap due to uneven walls. Do I use white chalk and paint it white (like the walls) or should I find oak colour chain?

well there's a question, personally unless you can get a spot on match I would bring the gap in with the wall, as the lesser of two evils. If the caulk you use doesn't match you will have an odd stripe anyway. how big is the gap.

Ideally you want the back edge of the arc to be dead straight, so I would use white caulk. This can then be painted to whatever the wall colour is.

A number of firms sell oak coloured caulks, eg
