Need to fix me skirt

[Phooey]

Hi, after a little recommendation here. Need to pop to B&Q over the weekend and buy some of that 'no-nails' (or similar) stuff. What is currently the strongest of these types of adhesive? is it still no-nails? It is for fixing skirting board.

Gripfil - wouldn't use anything else.

Mmmm, good thinking Batman. Never thought of that, is it really that strong?

Just been and had a look.. i don't think the skirting will need to come off in the near future. I'm only replacing this because i have had the walls skimmed.
Will try Gripfil as recommended,

Thanks

The stuff we use is called F32 and holds stair nosings on with no other fixings, if no nails is as good then it will rip the plaster off

Make sure you use the solvent based gripfill, the unsolvented stuff is, well, not that good...

"Sticks like st" is pretty good too, but is more 'runny' than gripfill - its just an adhesive rather than a gap filling adhesive if that makes sense.

When I bought some skirting board and picture rail from a specialist (Thorogoods near Colchester, I'd recommend them) I asked what was the best way to fix them.

"Buy the trade equivalent to the branded stuff"

The only time I have had a problem was using the stuff in sub zero temperatures.

Its oak skirting, so i was hoping to not have to drill & plug toooooo many holes. Three walls look straight, but the other not quite so good, so i am hoping to use the adhesive on the three straight walls
