Looking at various Internet sites the advice is conflicting.

A lot of people advise decorators caulk but some advise wood filler (or
other things including silicone sealant).

What is the best (and/or easiest) thing to seal MDF skirting.

Happy to use different materials for screw heads,

Plastic wood probably, if you are painting

joins, wall gaps, floor gaps.

Decorators caulk without a doubt.


Certainly caulk for gaps between wall and skirting. Over screws depends
on what decor. If your painting almost any filler. If staining use
coloured wood filler or better still wooden plugs.

staining MDF skirting? Yuk!


Not silicone, you cant paint over that.

NEVER silicone.
