Thread: what rasp for MDF skirting

4in angle grinder with sand paper disc on plastic backer with guard removed.

Thanks Gaza

I hadn't thought of sanding.

The top half of the skirting is a bit intricate. I'm not sure how the sander would fit. I'll have to try and see.

Thanks

Bushy,

If you have some doweling handy , cut sections 200mm long, and glue your sand paper around them .

I would suggest the following,

1, 60 grit & 80 Grit on 1 piece
2, 120Grit.

Use the yellow GP PAPER on the ROLLS , from M10.

For the flat sections a piece of 42x19 pine and glue the paper on as well.

You can use hot melt or pva glue , or staple the paper.

thanks Jeff

thats not a bad idea. I hadn't thought of using dowels. I'll be doing them next week, so I've got a few days to make a few.

Cheers

Thats a pretty large skirting. What's it profile?

I don't know if its got a name.

Mongrel profile sounds good

Bushy,

Hope that you get your job done , the sandpaper on the dowel will be a lot kinder than a rasp,

Could you post a Pic of the moulding >???

hi Jeff

Haven't got there yet. Been busy somewhere else. Maybe the end of this coming week or the following week.
I haven't got one of those fancy phones with a camera.
I'll try and remember to bring a bit home after work.

Hello VK4

I started the big skirts today. They were only 230mm by 34mm, which was heavy enough when they're 5.4m long.

I tried to attach a sketch of the profile onto this page but couldn't find out how to do it.

Anyway they're started.

Thanks for the help.

Bushy.
