Skirting Boards / MDF Painting / Laminate Underlay

3 questions :-

1. A friend of mine says that tradesmen use a glue to stick skirting boards to the wall these days. Anyone know what this is and where I can get it from ?

2. What's the best painting technique for an MDF radiator cover ?

3. Where's the best place to get cheap laminate underlay. I will be fitting the laminate on a straight, wooden floor so a cheap underlay is all that is required.

Many thanks, Andy

    Q2. You could use a small roller and do long even strokes with it in the same direction to get a nice even finish. :)
