DIY Home Painting Tips
Preparing Your Space
- Clear the Area: Remove furniture or cover it with dust sheets to protect from spills. Wondering if plastic dust sheets protect from paint spills? The answer is a resounding yes!
- Clean the Surfaces: Ensure walls and surfaces are free from dust and dirt. This allows better adhesion of the paint.
- Apply Masking Tape: Use Raulde’s paint repellent masking tape to outline the areas you wish to protect.
Application Techniques
- Load Your Roller: Pour paint slowly into the large tray. Using the 9-inch roller for large surfaces and the 4-inch for smaller areas, roll through the paint back and forth until evenly coated.
- Consistent Strokes: Apply the paint with consistent, even strokes. Start from the top and work your way down, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
- Detail Work: Use the mini roller to reach corners and tight spaces. Find more tips on using mini paint rollers for UK DIY projects.
