Mrs has decided she wants to follow the trend and have some panelling in the hall, which will the final 'room' to be redecorated, following us moving in a while back.

I'm thinking 6mm mdf to create the frame. After some limited googling, either glue or nail seem to be preferred in equal measure, so maybe I will get the same here. Majority of the walls will be solid, not stud walls. I think nailing could be tricky, but might be an excuse to buy a light nail gun.

What do you say?

If they're solid walls nailing will just make a mess.

But you can still scratch the tool itch... https://dvspowertools.co.uk/shop/power-tools/caulk...

I used glue and it's stayed on without issue.
