Seemed like a great idea.
I decided to give it a try and just practice on some skirting offcuts I got from Chippys. The problem is it is that Victorian style skirting so the profile is pretty intricate.
For a bit of a novice like myself this method seems extremely fiddly and difficult and I doubt whether I have the skills to do it properly.
I am now thinking of going back to the mitred way, perhaps just overestimating the angle of the cut and then just fill any gap with No More Gaps. The skirting is being painted white anyway which will be the same colour as the walls.
Can anyone offer any advice?
