Troubleshooting
Skirting not adhering to the wall
Ensure the wall surface was clean, dry, and properly prepared before applying adhesive. Use the correct type of Decofix adhesive for the environment (e.g., DecoFix Power for damp areas). Apply sufficient adhesive and ensure firm pressure during installation.
Gaps between skirting pieces
Use DecoFix Ultra for seam joints to create a smooth, seamless finish. Ensure precise cuts were made using a mitre box for accurate angles.
Difficulty cutting the moulding
Use a fine-toothed saw and a mitre box for clean, accurate cuts. Ensure the moulding is securely held while cutting.
Paint finish is uneven
Ensure the moulding was properly primed and that the paint is applied evenly. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
