Here is The Savior YaH The Father (Genesis 1), Who, with His HAND, formed “man (Adam)”, from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7). YaH’s HAND they NAILED to the Almond Tree, to symbolize forgiveness of the “Tree of Life” sin OF “man” and thus “The Fall OF man” (Genesis 3) YaH The Father arrived to be Crucified via the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 33, Isa Scroll), how YaH has ALWAYS arrived

@Grahame59 Год назад

Masking works well if you are lucky to have a gap at the bottom of the skirting board though here in the UK our skirting boards don't usually have a gap. Also I'd suggest also putting a tarpaulin or cover over the main carpet to avoid any paint drips from the paint can, etc.

@gilpetperdon9831 Год назад

Yes, I live in the UK too and don't know if thats the same with me because my carpet is quite thick but now I realise I probably don't have a gap, such an American thing, everything they have just bloody works.

@georgemacdonald5282 Год назад

In our houses in uk dont have any gap between skirting and floor, if you can tuck your carpet under the skirting there must be something wrong

@georgemacdonald5282 Год назад

You dont need to put masking tape on the wall to paint the skirting boards etc and you dont need to be a professional to cut in your paint so to avoid masking tape.

@kfiscal01 Год назад

I just use a thin piece of cardboard, about 2ft long and push it underneath the baseboard. Dont paint to the ends of the cardboard, leave about 5 inches on each end clean and gently pull it in the direction you're painting,keeping it under the base. Usually a couple pieces will do an average room.

@paulhughes3961 Год назад

I'm a retired painting contractor of 36 years. The tapering method is by far the fastest and most efficient method. You don't need to use a drywall knife , just use your fingers to push it down and under the base.

The detailed step-by-step process and the practical tips, like using painter's tape and a putty knife, are incredibly helpful. Thanks for making a potentially tricky job so much easier and more manageable

@welshman2081 Год назад

Hi great ideas if you have a gap under your baseboard, we in the UK call this skirting board, which is placed on top of the floorboard, so tucking under would not work. Regards welshman2081

@nickhickson8738 Год назад

And having that gap often results in the edge of the carpet becoming dirty as dust can blow in draughty circumstances.

@alexnelson6196 Год назад

If you want a smooth finish it helps to apply the product with a roller and back-brush with a brush. Rollers can cover the surface quickly and the brush gets rid of the roller-stipple.

@G4RY1159 Год назад

Agree, tight sponge paint gloss roller

@MV-wb2cz Год назад

if you get a decent semi-gloss with enamel in the paint you can skip the back brush altogether as the enamel is heavier paint which has a small paint "sag" so when you put it on with a small roller it "sags" the stipple to a nice finish without any brush strokes or stipple marks, might have to do 2 coats but it looks like it was spray finished.

@bethanyanderson1745 5 месяцев назад

@@MV-wb2cz▪︎ forgive me if this ought to be obvious but painting heavily enough for the paint to sag doesn't seem like a proper solution. Esp if the paint sags too much and pools at the bottom of the baseboard and onto the carpet or into the carpet "hairs."

@MV-wb2cz 5 месяцев назад

@@bethanyanderson1745 forgive me but i did not say to paint a heavy coat, it's the way the paint is formulated, if you have a paint with enamel in it vs regular paint, it's a heavier paint and you don't need to back roller it

Find some scrap vinyl siding or buy it new as its worth it, cut the edges off to form it into a 2.5 inch wide flat strips . Wedge the plastic beneath the baseboard and the problem is solved. I keep about 20 pieces of it at 6 foot lengths in my Van as this works perfect 👍 Taping is " NOT" the way to do this.

In stead of tape, paper or other stuff, take your painter's tarp and tuck it under the base board. That way, it'll be there when you do the wall too...or vice versa. Also, paint wall, then install base board.

Ive been using at10" or larger mud blade and running it under the base board. Using only the middle 80% ish of the blade, so when sliding it left or right, no paint on the edge smears on the carpet. Although wit the fluffier carpets, using the tape, under the baseboard is best; keeps the carpet from springing into the wet paint, gluing it to the baseboard.

Your technique is fine, if your baseboards are above the wooden floor. For homes built in the 50's, the floors were hardwood and the baseboards rested on them. I went to Lowes and bought 6 thin sheets of sign making plastic. These are 18" x 24" in size. Using my wide putty knife I tuck their wide edge between the baseboard and carpet. As they lay back onto my drop cloth their weight keeps them in place. If needed, a bit of pressure on them, as I paint keeps them in place. They're also thin enough that I can slip them under doors and paint them, without removing them. I do take off the door knobs.

When painting the skirting board leave a gap of 3mm above the carpet, no need for tape or pallet knifes etc. No one comes into your home and gets on their knees to look at the board and it can't be noticed when standing up.

@Anna-wu8mp 5 месяцев назад

@stlkev Год назад

Right on. I usually use the ten inch blade without tape, but wipe the blade down with a damp rag on both sides after painting about nine inches of baseboard. Then with a totally clean knife do another nine inch section of baseboard. I ALWAYS have two damp rags (one for covering my paint brush and can, and another for quickly wiping up accidents and drips. I'll probably try the construction paper method someday, that looks quick and inexpensive. I always use a dropcloth when painting over carpet, also.

This is all well and good if you have a gap, base board or skirting as it know in New Zealand which is usually fixed before the floor coverings go down last to prospect it from workers all over it, so painting after does require some additional skill by the painter or home handy man not to get paint the caret edge

The best thing for carpet and baseboard is to get yourself No residue duct tape. Investing a few dollars in 2 or 3 rolls of this makes the job a hell of a lot easier.You can leave it down as long as you need to until you're done then pull it all up at once. Make your strip as long as you can handle it. Keep it taut, and firmly press downward and toward the baseboard having the edge slightly curled as you apply pressure, from slightly the middle pressing down and forward getting the edge under the board. You'll get about 1/4 inch to almost 1/2 inch underneath. I very been able to do it with 3/4 inch carpet.

@johnclowes3894 Год назад

All good ideas. Just a couple of tips if I may. First. Use Pink frog tape Not green or any other colour when applying it to walls. Green is too tacky and could rip paint or paper off walls. As for the large plasters spatular I’d personally move it along as I go rather than taking it out and putting it back. Other than that good tips.👍
