Apply skirting boards with hot glue

Mostly baseboards are fastened as a completion for carpet or laminate with small steel pins or dowels & screws.

Disadvantage with steel pins: If the plaster or the masonry are too hard, they break off easily and damage to the strip quickly arose.

Disadvantage of dowelling: Elaborate work and I like the screw heads not in the last.

I suppose to attach the hot glue gun. Put the skirting board up the back and give a good drop of hot glue at intervals of approx. 30cm. Then attach the strip from one side, press firmly and hold under light pressure. Advantage of bonding: Sticks quickly and permanently without nails or screws.

Even when moving you can remove them relatively easily and use again.
