Have been preparing door frames ready to install new achitrave.
So far i have took off existing architrave and given door frames a good sand as they were in a bad way. Just put some wood filler in any larger gashes etc ready for another light sand over the filler.
Not only has the existing architrave pulled off quite a bit of plaster (Another job to do). The plaster protrudes outwards meaning its not flush with the frames and will look silly with the new architrave (69mm).
What is the best way to pack out the architrave? I was thinking of glueing and clamping a thin strip of some sort of moulding to the rear of the architrave and it being this strip that actually butts up against the door frame.
Is this ok? What the best material? And once primed and painted will you be able to see this extra strip when the door is open etc etc.
Any better ways?
Thanks in advance
