Hi all,

Looking for some guidance on fitting new skirts along a wall which has a slight curve at the end. Many a time fitting them along straight walls, but this one is a first for me.

Using a standard MDF skirt - When it comes to the curve, should I cut to the size of the wall and bend it (I know MDF is reasonably flexible), and anchor it with a screw or two?

Or, am I way off the mark, missing an obvious solution? [Picture links attached]

That's not a slight curve :) . Doing it in mdf is going to be a pain, the long scribes needed will be a bit fragile.
From left to right, we'll call your walls A (long run coming up from the left), B (short bit running across the pic), C (kick at the end of B), D (return of the kick), E (runs away to the right of D)
You need to cut the end of piece A so the cut sits flush against wall B.
You need to cut the end of piece E so it is flush with wall D.
You need to scribe the end of piece D so it fits into piece E (or maybe scribe E into D, depends on the room layout) and mitre the corner between D and C.
Piece C, left hand end cut so the end sits flush against wall B, right hand end mitred to match D.
Piece B, both ends scribed to mate into A and C respectively.
Have fun.




Presumably there is a long run coming in from the left of the pic? So you need to cut the end of that piece at an angle so that the end face sits flush with
