Best way to fix a gap under skirtboard?
I am replacing carpets on stairs with LVP and noticed two problems - the previous owner did not feed his dog, and the skirtboard was cut too high in one place creating a large gap. I am mostly concerned about fixing the gap. My best thought so far is to cut the damaged piece out with an oscillating tool, and try to make a replacement with the right dimensions. The second best thought is to glue a piece of wood into the gap, cover it with wood putty, sand, and paint. The chewed part would need to be just painted. Are there better ways to approach this? submitted by /u/alkevarsky [link] [comments]
