LITTLE BOY PAINTING ON PAINTBOARD HOW TO

I have yet to be able to get away with only one coat of paint. Please forgive the painting clothes and unwashed hair! I havenвЂ™t hired a hair, makeup and costume stylist yet. I made a video to show you the technique I used to give the wall a wood grain texture. Follow the same direction of strokes with the brush as you did when priming. In the center (drywall areas), you can roll on the primer.Д«ut, before the primer dries use the brush to spread it in long vertical strokes.ДЄfter the primer has dried, go ahead and add one coat of paint. Paint primer on all the wood moulding using a paint brush. Once all the putty and caulk has dried, get the primer out. Seal every seam in your moulding and then let it dry. Run your finger along the bead to smooth it.Squeeze out your bead of caulk, using a caulk gun.Which caused me to amend the Pretty Handy GirlвЂ™s tried-and-true caulking method: IвЂ™ve never tried this, but am happy to report that it really helps smooth the caulk and keeps it from sticking to your fingers. I actually just read about a neat tip on DianeвЂ™s blog (who also just added board and batten moulding in her bathroom.) She uses ice cubes and cold water for working with caulk. To view a tutorial on filling holes with wood putty, click HERE. Usually I fill the nail holes with wood putty. If you are re-painting the crown moulding and the door, tape them off as well. I used ScotchBlue painterвЂ™s tape with edge lock technology because 3M just sent me these rolls to try out. Plus, how I paint the wall so it looks more like wood and not like drywall.

Today I want to show you how to hide the holes, seams and how to paint the board and batten moulding. If you are just joining me and missed the tutorial for building board and batten moulding, you can view that tutorial HERE.
