brushwork
There are three things to consider when thinking about painting, staining or for that matter, any project.
Do
you have the time, the tools or the knowledge?
Anyone with the time to research paints, money to buy tools and time to
spare, will paint. But Knowledge, although full in its own right, does not encompass Experience.
Dragging a brush or working a roller,
knowing what bristle to use or the size of nap. How much pressure to increase or decrease when spraying, along with the size of tip
for the amount of liquid released and size of fan you want, takes experience.
Like any other trade, knowing the tricks will set you
apart from the person next to you.
How a paint or primer lays down and how much extender to add to a glaze, takes the experience of
working through these problems, in this field.
How to get the best result with a caulking gun may sound simple, and to me it is, now. But twenty or so years ago getting a smooth joint using a rubbery glue substance was a tough and messy trick to learn.
Although we
would like to include some application techniques in this section, the need for visual aids out-way’s the descriptive ability we can
offer at this time. The techniques, in the multitude, encompass being aware of even the most obscure;
For instance; Environmental temperatures are extremely important in painting, staining or clear coating trim, base, crown, doors and cabinets ect…
Even a subtle temperature
change of 10º from a comfortable 72º one way or the other and a significant change in humidity will slow the flow or add moisture
to the air. This can be seen clearly when applying these products using a brush. And this is also where the addition of added solvents
or extenders may be needed.
We have illustrated, in the Techniques outline, an abridged description of supplies in the attempt
to show our clients the need for using a quality product and what we look for when purchasing paints, stains and other supplies, along
with some of the steps we take when approaching any of our jobs.
Tom Sawyer had the right idea, give the job to someone else.
This
is what we do and do well. Leave the task to us and we will do our best to make your property look like it did the day you moved in,
if not better.
