Cheers, I've bought 3 tubed of this stuff seems pretty well rated for the job. That's a good tip about letting the wood acclimatise though.

That's a solvent based one. I try to avoid solvent based stuff these days as years of exposure has left me with a bit less tolerance for it. I'm not sure how much difference in grab there is but it's easier to clean up the excess non solvent one. Do be very careful that you don't get it on the face of the skirting or up the walls, have some solvent cleaning wipes around to keep things clean. It's a bitch to remove from emulsion once it's dried.
You'll probably have to fill the gap between the wall and skirting (at the top of the skirting) with mastic, resist the urge to do it with the glue!

Solvent free grip fill. I've had better results with that on skirting. Dries pretty quick so you can hold it on until it grabs. Horrible to remove, like any of those products. Make sure your skirting has been in the room for a while to allow the moisture content to balance with the environment.
