I am in the process of decorating and laying a laminate floor, to
avoid using beading to cover the expansion gap (tried it in another

Rather than nailing it back in position I am thinking of using one
of the "no nails" type of adhesive, anybody had any experience
using this method with skirting, it is quite hefty measuring 170 x
20mm.


As long as the walls are straight it works very well. If, like mine,
they are a bit wobbly you might need the odd nail here and there to
hold it while the no-nails goes off.


What about the poor sod (probably you) who needs to remove it at some
time in the future, use screws and wall plugs.

I have no plans to remove the skirting I've put on my walls. This might
change, of course, but it'll be no worse to remove than the 4" cut nails
someone put the picture rails up with sixty years ago.

.... which is why I suggested screws and wall plugs.
