Putting up picture and dado rails

continued from page 1
Finishing
Screw the first rail in place and work across the room using the same technique. Mitre the ends of the rail to fit into external and internal corners. When the entire rail is fixed, cover the screw holes with filler and allow to dry before adding a dab of varnish or paint. See Painting Interior Woodwork and Metal for tips.

Tip: Pre-packed dado and picture rails are pre-cut on the ends so that the internal corners are a neat fit. These join at right angles and don't need to be cut in a mitre box.
