Fill gap underneath skirting?
I am redecorating my living room and am probably going to sand the
floorboards as they are in quite good nick really, there used to be carpet down. The only slight problem is that under certain sections of skirting board there is a slight gap between skirting and floorboards (up to 5mm in some places, other places there is no gap). This would not normally bother me but my wife **hates** spiders and wants this gap to be blocked up. Now I don't have the time to remove all the skirting and refit it so I was wondering if there was an alternative? Perhaps a thin strip of cork which could be wedged in all along where the gap is, should look okay and being cork should squeeze in nicely. Has anyone heard of doing something like this is does it sound complete madness? Any ideas where I could buy some cork like that if it sounds an okay idea? Thanks. |
