We have recently moved into a new house and needed to have some dampwork done in one room. We therefore removed the skirting which was stuck on with some sort of adhesive. We now want to put the skirting back but the adhesive is still stuck to it. What is the best way to remove it? We were recommended to use a chisel, is this best or is there a product which would work better? Thanks
Paint stripper heat gun to soften it,then it should just scrape of with a blade.
Sounds like a lot of work. Unless it stands off the wall a lot, I'd just just put more Gripfil on and shove it back
MrsDrux,
Have a look at the link below - it's not a cheap item, but it will do exactly what you want.
Put it face down on a clean floor and hit the stuff with an hammer and chisel. Don't be such a wuss. It is brittle plastic that might take some of the timber with it in laces but the bulk of the job is done in moments and any damage hidden.
Search the group for methods of reaffixing the skirt.
if its gripfill or similar it scrapes of easily with a sharp chisel
Don;t waste your tome. Buy some new and paint it to match existing.
It really is very cheap. Unless its solid oak or something. Or a weird old fashioned section.
