Tips? - Protecting wood floors while painting baseboards
Comments (4)Hi! I'm new here and just did a project concerning seepage. Instead of painting on poly acrylic I went with the suggestion of burnishing. I used a fairly flat tea spoon and rubbed (not too rough or hard) the (blue) tape on the floor where the seams meet. Once you start you can see how it really bonds the tape to the floor. I would also suggest taking the tape off after you've done each wall, before the paint has time to dry. Taking it off while still wet the paint has no time to bond to the tape. That way the seam is really clean. Good luck, try to have fun and I hope it turns out great!! Samantha...See MorePainting wood trim and baseboard
