Glossing skirting boards (Read 5796 times)

jimbocam GDPR opt-out	Glossing skirting boards Sep 25^th, 2006, 7:36pm What's the best way to gloss skirting boards next to carpet (without pulling up the carpet)? I end up carefully trying to paint as near as I can to the carpet without touching it but this can leave a noticeable difference between the new paint and the old paint down at carpet level. Any tips please?

Thats what I do which is fine until they change the carpet down the line, then they get a ridge. Roll Eyes
