This video tutorial will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to install both skirting and edging strips, ensuring a professional-looking finish for your projects.

Materials Needed:
Skirting or edging strips
Wood glue
Nails or screws
Carpenter's pencil
Measuring tape
Miter saw (optional)
Nail gun or hammer
Caulk gun and caulk (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preparation:

Measure and mark the length of the skirting or edging strip you need. Use a miter saw to cut the strip at a 45-degree angle if necessary, such as when installing around corners. Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the back of the strip.

2. Installation:

For skirting strips, position the strip against the wall along the bottom edge. For edging strips, place the strip at the edge of the surface you are edging. Use nails or screws to secure the strip, spacing them evenly along the length of the strip. Countersink the nails or screws slightly below the surface of the strip using a nail set or screwdriver.

3. Finishing:

If desired, fill in any gaps between the strip and the surface using caulk. Use a caulk gun and apply a thin bead of caulk to the gap. Smooth out the caulk using your finger or a damp cloth. Allow the caulk to dry and cure according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Additional Tips:
Use a sharp saw blade to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Test fit the strip before gluing or nailing it in place to ensure a proper fit.
Use a brad nailer or small-headed nails to minimize damage to the strip.
Sand the edges of the strip lightly after installation to remove any rough edges.
Consider using a stain or sealant to match the color and finish of the surface.

By following these steps, you can achieve seamless and professional-looking edges on your woodworking projects using skirting and edging strips. Whether you are installing moldings around your baseboards or applying trim to the edge of a tabletop, this video tutorial provides the necessary guidance to help you achieve stunning results.
