H F Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 In our hallway, there is annoying gap between the last beam and the poorly fitted plasterboard. It’s unsightly, and it also allows for drafts. Space is limited. I thought of polyfilla first, but it’s difficult to get in, and sanding it later will be a problem too. The gaps are quite wide to caulk. Suggestions welcome.
Bitpipe Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 I suggest you chew toilet roll (admittedly can be hard to find these days but worth a look) and insert it in the gaps. The saliva acts as a harding agent but retains flexibility. 1

Gone West Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 This is good for small areas. https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/unibond-whiteteq-expanding-foam-500ml/p/0457575 1
scottishjohn Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) pull out strip of PB fill behind with foam or what ever --refit PB when it still sof-pb should stick to it -trim off foam as required ? Edited March 9, 2020 by scottishjohn 1

H F Posted March 9, 2020 Author Posted March 9, 2020 I had thought of expanding foam. Removing the PB and then putting it back in after the expanding foam has been introduced is a good idea.
