Sorry if its been asked, but just want to be sure.
I have MDF pre primed skirting just put onto walls which have bare plaster (1 wall is brand new, rest are all old plaster). Do I put caulk on skirt between wall and skirt before or after painting skirt / walls? From reading elsewhere, caulk doesn't stick to plaster well? I have to apply mist coat to walls and then 2 coats of finish on top. For skirt will be 1 under coat and hopefully 1 top coat, maybe 2.
Personally I thought painting skirt first would be better, as I dont have to worry too much about getting any paint on wall when painting. Then when applying wall paint, I can tape skirt. I have had some issues in past with tape, even frog tape, taking some paint off emulsion walls, by doing this I can tape onto the wood skirt instead.
Maybe I should mist coat first as it may be alot more runney as its got alot more water in it?
Please help, cheers !
