Troubleshooting
Beading does not sit flush against the wall.
Ensure the skirting board is straight or consider using a slightly thicker adhesive bead to fill minor gaps. Check that the expansion gap is not excessively large.
Difficulty achieving clean cuts.
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw and a mitre box for precise, straight, or angled cuts. Sand lightly after cutting if necessary.
Beading appears loose after installation.
Ensure adequate adhesive has been used or that nails/screws are securely fastened. Re-secure the beading with additional fixings if needed.
