i am trying to fix 4" skirting to a brick wall without any success. I
have tried using "no nails" adhesive and oval nails but the nails
just bend and wont hold the board close enough to the brick. The only
other thing i can think of is rawl plugs and screwing the thing to
the wall which will be time consuming to say the least.

any ideas much appreciated???????

either drilling and plugging or find (make some) the wooden wedges and nail.
gap filling adhesive is useful for, obviously, filling largeish gaps if the wall isn't
truly flat and once painted white it's unnoticable. finish the screw / nail holes with
filler, rub down, then 2 x coats of undercoat and one thin coat of gloss/satin.

take your time, do it right and you only have to do it once.
