CRACKING SKIRTINGS & DOOR FRAMES π«£
Most people will think run some caulk around and paint and it'll be ok....but it wont, within a month or so it'll come back!!
Caulks to be used just as a fine/hair line sealer on frames & skirtings *IF THE WOODWORKS TIGHT TO WALLS AND ARCHITRAVE*
πLittle Tip.
βͺοΈRake out old caulk or filler.
βͺοΈ80 grade paper all across woodwok & remove loose paint.
βͺοΈBack fill the crack with a rock solid repair filler, that'll give something solid for the woodwork to grip to.
βͺοΈOnce dry, light sand top edges and run a line of flexi-filler ππ» (this drys hard but contains fibres which allows any movement that happens to move with the woodwork but not to crack or split).
βͺοΈThen once thats dry, a light sand along the flexi-filler dust off and run a nice line of caulk all along the filler to give it a nice smooth finish π.
You can all thank me later ππ»
Or just call me, and il come and do it π°π
