    They only had double curved edge during lockdown....so there's a shadow line at bottom, but you get the idea.[​IMG]

    Ok, that’s it. Head of to T.P. and see what they got in stock. Then if that don’t go well, I’ll head off to the pvc place. Then I’ll get started after lunch.;)
    Thanks for all input , but I’m surprised by the lack of mirth and mickey taking as I was expecting rather more ;)

    Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,hungry business this planning malarkey :):):)

    Just spotted that before I left for the merchant. Like the look and that may be the upvc thing I end up with. Once I’ve fitted whatever it is that I’m fitting and wherever I end up getting it from, I’ll pop up a picture or two.:)

    Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,Thsnking you , one and all :)

    No, didn’t bother. I used Farrow and Ball state eggshell so not water based. No reason why you couldn’t spray it with a primer to get a good key then top spray coat . Some great adhesives out there now with instant grab. UPVC men will have their favourite
     
  5. If you fit pvc you could try multi surface paint ,sticks to all sorts

    Is it a big enough gap to stuff an LED rope light into? :D

  11. I would put a coat if Zinser Bulkseye on first. It’s water based and quick drying.

    My tuppence worth ... based on having done the same a couple of times for other peeps.
    1)
    Get a square ended spatula, or one of these:
    https://www.screwfix.com/p/vitrex-a...PcSsoPAoKWuTB66SCGxoCHvcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
    and use a first-use Stanley blade to square off the curve if you want.

    2)
    Get some decent wide masking tape

    3)
    Get some cheap as chips B&Q's flexible decorators caulk (I'm sensing you want them to be involved :D)

    ... or even silicone if you want better protection from future water-based disasters (mdf a no-no btw) ... Personal favourite would be "Forever White".

    If you mask the floor to directly below the front face of the skirting, and bung in liberal amounts of the caulk ... taking off the excess with the magic tool you'll have a clean fill of a varied depth of gap that will take up a fair bit of any future movement :thumbsup:

    A run of PTFE over the front would cover any wobbles :hattip:
