| 655605 | 2008-04-04 11:04:00 | I use the mere-to-mere thingy bob. You know, the thing you use to spread plaster. So you got a handle and can press down on the carpet. Not the scraper, the other thingy. OK Ill stop now. | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||

| 655610 | 2008-04-05 01:20:00 | I'd use one of those synthetic fabric paint applicator pads instead of a brush. Result is a smoother finish. I have used these things and they do give a good finish, but still drip - with some paints even more than a brush will. A snag ?? is that they put on a very thin coat. I know that two thin coats are always better than one thick one - but heck when I am painting skirting boards the last thing I want is to have to do the thing twice. I doubt that I will ever use one again. Tom |

| 655611 | 2008-04-05 03:52:00 | You are most probably right Tom. As bonzo29 suggested I purchased the plastic strips, which I never knew existed, together with a small brush and it is now a reasonably easy task to complete the job. The skirting boards were varnished so to paint them I had to apply sealer, an undercoat and two top coats. Four times round the room on my hands and knees - grrrhh | smithie 38 (6684) | ||
