Painting a room can be a task that takes several hours, half day or more. It all depends on what and how you decide to paint. You can refresh a room or closet door a few hours, or you can divide it into several small jobs and leave them for a week or more. How big of a job - you decide.
When you go to work on painting the inside of the house, you'll discover how easy it is to use brushes and rollers skill. However, there are some techniques that will help postpone fatigue and provide a steady job.
Handle that you use depends on the selected brush. Trim and sash brushes with pencil handles grabbed much as you would a pencil, with the thumb and first two fingers of the hand. This technique gives you excellent control for a complex painting. Beaver-tail handles on larger brushes, you will need a stronger grip because the brushes are wide and heavy. Hold the handle with the entire hand, letting the handle wide range of your hand as you hold a tennis racket. This technique works best when you are painting large, flat surfaces.
The aim of loading the brush is to get a lot of paint on the wall as possible without bouncing it on the floor and yourself in the process. It will take you only several minutes to be able to estimate accurately how much paint your brush will hold along the road. Meanwhile, start the work by dampening the bristles of the brush (with water or thin latex suitable for other types of color) to them and make them more efficient. Remove excess moisture by gently hitting the metal band around the base of the handle on the edge of the palm into a sink or bucket. Never dip a brush more than a third of the length of the bristles into the paint. If you do, the brush will be almost impossible to clean.
With the first dip, move the brush around a bit in color to open the bristles and let the filling completely. It would be easier to lift a full load if you jab the brush gently into the paint with each dip. With most latex paints, you can simply dip the brush and let the excess drip for a few seconds before moving the brush on the wall. With a thinner coating, however, you may have to gently slap the brush against the inside of the paint can or drag it lightly across the inside edge of lip to remove excess paint.
To paint well to the line where two edges or colors meet, called "cut", use a brush cut with beveled bristles (the end of the brush resembles a chisel). Color five or six strokes perpendicular to the edge of the ceiling or the wall. Next, smooth over these strokes with one long stroke, painting out the first corner, then vertically. Where the wall and ceiling to come together, use downward strokes on the wall first followed by horizontal strokes part.
The ceiling itself, cut in strokes toward the center of the room, away from the wall. Then paint a smooth horizontal line on the ceiling that follows the direction of the wall. Even if you use the same color of paint on surfaces adjacent, follow the method of cutting with inches wide limits of two and not just plopping a loaded brush directly into the corner. This will prevent drips, sags, and it works.
Cut the corner, paint out of the corner for five or six strokes.
More cutting approach, and beads, can effectively eliminate the need to use masking tape to protect one area another hypocrite. Use beveled trim brush with long bristles nice. Hold the brush so that the thumb on one side of the metal ferrule and your fingers on the other. Press the brush lightly on the surface, then, when you move the brush, add enough pressure to make the bristles bend away from the direction of your brushstroke. Keep the brush about / 16 inch 1 from the other colored surface. Bent bristles and the pressure will release a fine bead of paint that will spread into the gap.
With two cutting methods, but especially when you're dealing with two colors, it's better than this brush is too dry once it's too wet. This is detail work. To do this effectively, go slowly cut 4 or 5 inches at a time. It seem tenuous at first, but your speed and accuracy will improve with practice, and no one regular size room will give you a lot of practice.
Working with the roller is less serious even than working with a brush. Even the colors of the novice can get the feel of it a few minutes. As with brushes, moisten the roller first with water or latex paint thinner suitable for other types of paint. Roll out the excess moisture on a piece of wood or a piece of kraft paper, or even on paper grocery bag. Do not use paper that the roller may pick up the ink. Fill the pan roller well over half full, and set the roller to the middle bar. Lift the roller and roll down the slope of the pan, and stopped only on the bar. Do this twice or three times to allow the colors to work into the cylinder. Then, dip the roller bar once more, and roll down the slope until the pile of well saturated. You'll know immediately when you've loaded the mountains. It would be a drop in the wall have a tendency to slide and smear instead of roll on the surface. To load roller, carefully fill the pan about half the full set the pulley to
Good. Then lift the roller and roll down the slope of the pan two or three times
Work paint into the cylinder.
The most effective method of painting with a roller is to paint, or 3 - square feet in two at a time. Roll the paint on in a zigzag pattern without lifting the roller from the wall, as if you color and still without lifting the roller, fill in the blanks of the letters with more horizontal or vertical zigzag strokes. Finish the area with light strokes to start a hypocrite and roll into my point. At the end of the stroke, raise the roller slowly so it does not leave a mark. For by the unpainted area, and repeat the zigzag technique, ending just below or next to the first painted patch. Finally, smooth the new application, and process it before the area ended.
With a roller, start M, N back, or W pattern about 3 meters
Square. Always start with the upstroke so that the color will not run along the wall. Next,
Fill the mold with strokes and dinner. You should be able to paint all
Square feet in Area 3 with one dip of the roller.
Professional color also suggest starting with a roller. On the walls, that means the first line should be up. If you roll on the first wall, paint may be as nonverbal under the wall and run down the wall. Also, be careful not to run the roller so quickly across the wall that centrifugal force causes it problems
