Cracks In Skirting-Boards When rooms are to be redecorated it is worth while taking the opportunity of rounding off with putty the corners of the skirting-boards, where dust so easily collects, suggests an English writer. After the room has been cleaned ready for painting, small lumps of putty should be pressed well into the corners and smoothly rounded off. When the fresh paint is applied the putty is covered, so that it looks like part of the woodwork. If, owing to the shrinkage of the woodwork, there is a space between the floor and the skirting-board, strips of wooden beading should be fitted all round the room before painting or staining is done. The beading covers the crack, prevents draughts, and makes the floor easier to keep clean.
