FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a construction adhesive suitable for wood. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times.
Can I paint the scotia beading?
Yes, as the scotia beading is unfinished, you can paint or stain it to match your wall or desired aesthetic.
How do I cut the corners?
Use a mitre saw or a mitre box to make 45-degree angle cuts for the corners, ensuring a tight fit.
What if I need to remove the scotia beading?
Carefully pry the trim away from the wall, being cautious not to damage the wall or the flooring. You may need to use a putty knife to separate it from the adhesive.
Can I use this trim in a bathroom?
While the trim itself is water resistant, ensure the adhesive is suitable for use in humid environments. For a watertight finish, combine it with the Foamstrip, Hydrokit and Hydrostrip.
Troubleshooting
Trim doesn't stay in place.
Ensure you are using the correct adhesive or nails. Clean the surfaces before applying the adhesive. For nails, use the correct size and spacing.
