Hi Jason, great video, and I’ve subscribed to your Chanel, a few thoughts, the large gap between the floor and the bottom of the skirting, if you place a board at 90 degrees to the wall on top of the skirting, then kneel on it the gap would have closed significantly. When you were tutting the first mitre on your saw, then you used a jig saw to cut part of the cope, you can cut the straight edge on the cross cut, or invest in a Collins Universal Coping Foot, they are awesome, makes coping so much easier.
Great video - wish I'd watched before cutting all my skirtings at the weekend (short to long pieces after much deliberation) ... gaps all over the place but I'll just fill them with decorators silicon and filler... quality job, maybe not lol 😆 #diy
Great vids mate. Found channel other day, working through chronologically. Couple of qs - is that a 2nd fix nail gun? Also how long them pins just enough to go into PB? Thanks
What length pins do you use? Just boarded up a few rooms with 12mm plasterboard on solid walls. Not sure if i should drill through the solid walls and use screws or try gluing and fire in a few pins
I’ve never tried it no, I don’t think I will try it unless the wall is all damaged behind the skirting. Funnily enough I’ve been to a few jobs where I’ve had to re-do someone else’s skirting because some plonkers just foamed it on and didn’t put screws in it not thinking that it’ll just expand 😂
@@jaysonfaircloughjoinery8985 I fix then with foam sometimes but I use insta stick which barely expands, the pins stop it from pulling away. I only use it when I need them to go off quickly as it's off after ten minutes. I've started using a hybrid polymer adhesive recently, it grabs nicely. You would struggle to remove skirtings that I'd fixed with the insta stick foam, you wouldn't get them off in one piece lol. 👍
I'm a maniac. I rarely use my chopsaw for skirting. Infact I rarely use it for anything. Cornice and pelmets, thats about it. Everything else is done on the ripsaw
Good vids mate. What do you do on externals that are greater than 45 ? As in if you look down the corner the wall kicks inwards. Hard to explain but basically an angle greater than 45 I think ha
You can either chase the wall out or when you’re set up on the mitre saw put a packer or something under the skirting, and create the angle. There are some angle finders as well you can buy to find out stuff.

Just found your channel, good stuff mate
Sweet looking joints 👌👌
Great video ,thanks
Great content - keep it up. Your videos remind me of Scott Brown for some reason
Mitre protractor and mitre mate are handy tools for perfect mitres and a grinder with a flap disc for the scribes when using MDF skirting.
Just make sure you're wearing a mask when you use a Flap Disk though, bloody MDF is a nasty.
@@bartbug1 bought myself a trend dust mask, I highly recommend it.
How did you grip that small piece to the bare brick wall mate in the video? Did you use instant grab?
How do you mark the external angles if the floor levels run out 90 degrees to each other.

Well, will there be a next time😂🤷🏼♂️ thank you pal!
When you’re putting skirting onto brick walls, do you use screws and plugs?

Ye it is. 16g pin nailer and the just enough to go into plasterboard. Try not to shoot any deeper in case of any pipes/wires behind it.

Have you ever tried expanding foam as adhesive it works really well
I’ve never tried it no, I don’t think I will try it unless the wall is all damaged behind the skirting. Funnily enough I’ve been to a few jobs where I’ve had to re-do someone else’s skirting because some plonkers just foamed it on and didn’t put screws in it not thinking that it’ll just expand 😂

Yes Jayson
Nooice!
witch silicone did you used loved the video.
Think it’s called sticks like sh*t
The good old 'Missus' hair spray works as an activator to if you run short. Just go through ya mates bathroom and nick a bit of his Missus hair spray.
Dat look after you said ‘Push Back’ ROFL 😂
I’m a muppet 😂😂🤷🏻♂️
Haha we all love a double entendre, Sparkys love a bit of 'rear entry'..... 😂
Mate just found u on here...class buddy...is that mitre bond stuff worth using?...
Ye it’s really good stuff can use it for loads of things! It’s a life saver sometimes.
I'm enjoying watching and learning but can you please in future bids have the music turned down when you are talking/explaining please.
💯👍👍
When you stuck the skirting on you said silicone, was it silicone or grab adhesive
Grab adhesive my friend. I do apologies

Set the miter saw to the angle with a angle finder 👌
My new standard size mdf skirting board is thicker than the adjacent architrave.
What do i do?
Put a return mitre on the skirting just before it gets to the architrave
Why not router a length turn ur router up in a vice if no spindle or router table
There's a huge gap between the floor and the skirt boards. 😕
Allows for movement of the MDF wood throughout the year
Eye protection when cutting.
Do you ever use PU Foam to stick it on instead of panel adhesive
Nooo I don’t really like using foam unless I have to.
@@jaysonfaircloughjoinery8985 I used to think that but saw another guy do it, I tried it and never used panel adhesive since!
Could of scribed to floor 🤷♂️😀
Didn’t need to! Customer decided in the end to put scotia around it because they liked the look of it🤷🏼♂️
Customer ain't always right. 😉
Definitely needed to be scribed and insisted no scotia! You names on the job!
@@robmann7854 fuck that noise. Caulk it.
Great job but i never cut 45 when im connected boards. My way is cut 90 both end and then i use biscuit, after i have perfect not visible joint.
The easy method is to get someone else to do it.
Who works in inches!
Depends what you’re measuring 😂😂😂😂
My girlfriend thinks I have a 9 inch whatever you’re talking about, but luckily for me she doesn’t know which way round to hold the ruler.
Lots of waffle. And the I realised, you make content for girls.
