whats the best way of doing this?? masking tape along the edge? any
tips appreciated. i didnt give the skirting enough coats before the
carpet fitter was due and want to finish it off properly without
getting paint on the carpet. thanks

I have used one of those window frame plastic masking thingies, sorry
don't know the proper name. Dig it in tight at about 45 degrees to
the skirting board but be sure to wipe it clean after each use or
paint will leak to the back face and get onto the carpet.
