  • Tomorrow I'm going to try and attach a picture rail and skirting board (including round a corner - using the "cutting into chunks" method.

    What should I be using to attach them? Nails, no more nails, both?

  • Grab adhesive worked well for my skirting board (sikaflex ebt+). Probably wouldn’t use for a picture rail if I intended to hang pictures from it though...

  • Depends if the picture rail is purely decorative or if it's going to be use to hang things.

    Personally I would at a minimum use a grab adhesive such as sticks like sh*t and 16g nails from a 2nd fix nail gun. Gold standard would be grab adhesive and countersunk then filled screws (use plugs if the final finish is raw wood and filler if it's going to be a painted finish).
