Downshifting; bloody knackering

[Halo Jones]

Removing the skirting’s to paint (unless you are replacing them) seems excessive - have you tried extra wide masking tape?

I'm replacing them.

Do you really think anyone cares? Word of advice pal, stop wasting your life posting nonsense on internet message boards.

It was a damn sight more on-topic that Spurs & Glasgow Rangers.

Easier to paint them before you put them on.

Tanks for the hint. Will do.

I thought this thread would be on the troubles of doing proper downshifting in a car with manual transmission.
I have some problems when going from 4th to 3rd on a racetrack when approching a corner with a curved braking zone.

Any hints?

Yeah, get a big comfy automatic, a Cuban cigar and calm down, man.

All you need to do it fill the screw holes and cork the top.

And before you prime them put a stopping agent on any knots; it stops them popping out later in life, in the trade known as knot, stop & prime, you can buy skirtings that have been treated & primed; you just need to paint them & satin wood is easier than gloss.

If you are doing a full re-dec remember that you can paint a cold raidiator with satin wood to match your woodwork. (& is cheaper than rad paint)
