An
excellent solution to tight spots
There is a useful product on the market for any paint job
that goes by many names; "whizz" is just one of them. It
is a small roller set up that you use in a one gallon
paint bucket, with a small gallon sized paint grid. These
tools are especially useful for painting deck pickets,
fascia boards and soffet around the exterior of the house.
Interior uses include getting behind the toilet tank and
behind old radiators. |

Painting tips & tricks of
the day
Finishing product: paint, stain, varnish, etc.
Different customers have different needs. No product meets
every need. To select the appropriate product, start by
identifying your needs based on the following specific
criteria in order to create a “funnel” leading to your ideal
product. The product selection process is simple, effective
and based on eight product selection criteria: function,
environment, surface, use, composition, appearance, colour
and quality.
Masking knots before painting
Knots in finished wood will appear sooner or later after
painting. Before painting, seal the knots with a lacquer. It
is the only liquid sealant that will efficiently seal in
knot resin, without discoloring the finishing paint.
Choosing the right paint texture
Each paint finish has its own properties. The more matte the
finish, the more it hides imperfections and uneven
reflections, but it's less washable. The glossier the
finish, the more washable it is, but also the more sensitive
to imperfections and it will mask less efficiently. In
order: glossy, semi-gloss, pearl, eggshell, satin, matte.
Semi-gloss is best for hall walls and for windows and
frames; use matte on ceilings and satin and pearl for the
rest. Kitchens, bathrooms and basements have their own
antifungal paints. |
