Need some kind of brace/support that is extendable.
Sort of like a threaded tube so when you twist it it would get longer, the ends would need to be movable slightly so they can get the right angle of the surface they are getting support off. I need to press one end agaisnt a wall and the other against my side skirts for gluing.
Any cheap options available.
I know its very vauge but someone will understand

get a peice of threaded bar, a couple of nuts and piece of tube that the thread will fit inside.
weld one nut to the tube, then wind the threaded bar into in and lock off with the other but. then make some sort of plate to press on the skirt....easy

why not park close to a wall and use a scissor jack and piece of wood, just put a towel between the wood/skirt

But ill turn it on its side so it can apply pressure to a part of the side skirt while gluing.

thats an acrow "spelling" you that to prop joists up and cellings bit on the large side for a sideskirt, why not get some 2x2 timber cut an angle on 1 end wege that against the wall and the over end place some rag or an old pillow to hold the sideskirt in place if its only just going to be used twice

It'll just fall off, there's nothing to support its own weight.
Just tape them on.

use a bottle jack horizontally base of the jack against a wall or garage wall or something sturdy and then obviously pump the piston out of the bottle jack to apply force to the skirt with protection to not scratch it.
depends where your trying to bond if near the door shut use a large g-clamp
