A very small bedroom (2M x 2.5M approx) is being redecorated. We are also replacing the old and battered skirting boards.
Someone suggested we 'seal' these boards. (two of the walls are external facing). I have only seen sealant in big 5 Litre containers (we live in north london). Since we dont need all that amount, could they be sealed on the wall facing sides with some Santex exernal wall paint we already have? Or would this not be a good idea?
The walls where the skirting boards go on is a very rough. So should I forget this 'no more nails' adhesive type stuff and buy some of the original 'clout' type nails that held the boards up; or is there a better way? thanks for any advice.
