Hi, I've got my full house to refit with skirting but I've never done it before. There's around 100m to fit, on top of newly plastered walls. I was originally planning to use pink grip to attach everything, but then I saw lots of positive comments about insta stik and some comments saying pink grip can be iffy on new plaster. I was all for using insta stik but it's about £13 a can and I'll need an applicator gun which is £20. Does anybody have any experience of using pink grip on skirting, and does anyone have any idea how far a can of insta goes? I'm guessing that I'll need a lot more than a single can. I really want to avoid using any nails or screws if I can. Cheers
Use foam, it's a no brainer. You probably won't use much more than a can depending on skirting size. Far cheaper and better than using pink grip. Gun grade foam, £9, applicator gun, £11-13 ish.
Foam is much over muchness, there's not a lot of difference though if you are doing skirting it may benefit to use a low expansion grade foam to restrict any leakage if inexperienced with using a gun. There's loads of posts on here about using it, a lot of people spray mist the wall with water first to aid adhesion, but I've never bothered as I tend to use mechanical fixings as well.
