Filling the gaps between your skirting boards and the wall completes your room, giving it a polished look.

Completing this task is super simple (even to the most inexperienced DIYer) with the step by step guide below.


What You Need

  • Selleys No More Gaps Multipurpose
  • Selleys Caulking Gun
  • Cloth for cleaning

How To

  1. Clean the area.
  2. Cut Selleys No More Gaps seal and nozzle off with secateurs and fit to cartridge. 
  3. Place cartridge into Selleys Caulking Gun.
  4. Position caulking gun at 45 degrees and apply even pressure to the trigger as you move it along the gap, applying the product.
  5. Use a damp finger (or rounded spatula) to wipe off the excess product to ensure a clean, smooth finish.
  6. Clean up with a damp cloth immediately.

Handy Tips

  • For a neater finish and easier clean up, you can tape both sides of the gap before applying the product. 
  • Allow to skin (about 20 minutes) before painting with water-based paints. Allow longer drying times (about 2 hours) when painting with flat or ceiling paints or in cooler conditions.
