It’s so easy to use and lightweight and it picks up every little bit of everything from every nook and cranny of my floors.
I basically only painted one third of each board at a time, rather than trying to make the paint on my brush spread out over as much of the board as possible, I just filled my brush, put a few dabs down the center on just 1/3 of the board, used what was left on the brush to do the edges and then came back to the center.And repeat for the remaining 2 sections of the board.. OK, you think I’m a little nuts right now for telling you all that.
It’s just slapping some paint on some boards.But seriously, saving those precious seconds made all the difference between me putting off doing the job for weeks and months and actually enjoying getting it done in just a weekend!.Tip #4: Semi-gloss paint will make you happy.
I used 2 coats of a medium-high quality paint on them and no primer and they look stunning.Tip #5: Be ready to get messy!
Seriously, when I first started out painting, I wrapped my pretty new sawhorses in plastic wrap to try to keep them clean.
You can see how well that lasted.I spaced them out an inch apart for a little more of a relaxed look.
I used the hammer in the end just to make sure the tacks were all pushed in all the way.That was fun too..
I honestly don’t think the overall look is that different from “real” nail head trim.I’m pretty smitten with it, even if it is a little crooked in places.
