Hi all,
I've got a couple of tricky gaps to fill and am all out of ideas as to how to proceed. Any suggestions gratefully received...
Gap no.1 is under the skirting board at the end of a passageway which is about a metre in width. It's practically non-existent at one end, but gradually increases to around 12mm at the other. I've stuck a thin rod under the skirting and it goes back about one inch if that's relevant. The passageway floor is concrete with vinyl tiles on top. Woodlice have taken up residence behind this gap, so I'd like to eliminate it (and their access to the house's interior) with a suitable filler that can be painted afterwards along with the skirting.
Gap no. 2 is in the corners of the plaster coving I've just put up. Never was much cop with mitres, they've always been my downfall, so have gaps between 2mm to 8mm in the corners where the miters don't quite join up correctly. Obviously there's an inch or two's void behind these corners which I'm guessing needs to be filled up with expanding foam or something to form a backstop for the filler I'm asking you to recommend for this application. But that's only a guess. You lot are the experts. Rescue me!
