They say that before fixing skirting boards or similar you should store the wood for a while in the house to let it shrink/acclimatize etc. Anyone know how long, realistically, I should do this with the kind of cheap, moulded softwood skirting boards they sell in standard DIY shops & timber yards? (1 day? 1 month?!) If I buy the boards from a shop that stores them indoors, does that mean I can get away with a much shorter acclimatization period? (That may mean paying a little more, but it may be worth it, as I’m hoping to do the job fairly soon.) Thanks for reading!
