Troubleshooting
Skirting board not adhering well to the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Use a high-quality adhesive specifically designed for MDF and skirting boards. Consider using finishing nails for added support, especially on uneven walls.
Paint finish is uneven or peeling.
Ensure the board was properly prepared before painting (clean, sanded if necessary). Use a suitable primer and allow it to dry completely before applying the topcoat. Apply paint in thin, even coats and allow adequate drying time between applications. Check that the paint used is appropriate for MDF and the room's humidity level.
Damage during cutting (chipping).
Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade designed for cutting MDF or laminate. Make slow, controlled cuts. Support the board firmly during cutting to prevent vibration.
Gaps appearing at joints after installation.
Ensure accurate mitre cuts for corners. Use wood filler or a flexible sealant designed for interiors to fill any small gaps. Ensure the adhesive or fixings used provide adequate pressure to keep joints tight while curing.

Adhesion: Apply a suitable adhesive to the back of the skirting board and press firmly against the wall. For added security, use finishing nails or screws, ensuring they are countersunk.
Finishing: Fill any nail holes with wood filler. Once dry, lightly sand the surface smooth.
Painting/Finishing:
Apply a quality primer if an additional coat is desired for deeper color.
