Anyways, once you are happy you know how you want it to sit, hammer in these panel pins in the centre of the skirting, and fit them where they'll do the job you want - eg holding the skirting in to follow a line, keeping the skirting running straight, etc. You only want the minimum number of PPs to do this, perhaps 4 or 5 per length. You want them pretty much all the way through the skirting - their little points chust appearing.
