Use a plug cutter and a counter bore bit.

(e.g. Axminster Power Tools 300532)


This will give you counterbored holes in the skirting which you can
then use to attach it to the wall with wall plugs and screws.

You then use the plug cutter and a piece of scrap skirting board
material to produce some plugs. These are fitted into the holes with
dabs of glue and you can then sand off the surface when dry for an
invisible result.

Thanks - will search for previous threads. The skirting I am using is Beech
finished MDF to match the floor.
