Plume Out Paint Where You Can't Keep a Wet Edge

You can not cover large locations like ceilings, extra-tall wall surfaces or stairwells in single, continuous strokes, so the most effective method to minimize lap marks on these areas is to feather out the paint along the edges that you can not maintain damp. The thinner, feathered coat of paint will avoid the accumulation that triggers the lap mark.

To repaint a huge section without leaving lap marks, roll the nearly completely dry roller in various instructions along the completely dry edge, feathering out the paint as you go. After completing the whole size of the wall or ceiling, transfer to the next area and paint over the feathery sides.

For the second coat, apply the paint in the contrary instructions. This crisscrossing paint application greatly lowers (if not removes) lap marks.

Sand Trim Between Coats for an Ultra-Smooth End up

One coat of paint typically won't conceal the underlying shade and luster on trim. As well as if you don't sand the surface area smooth in between coats, the surface may have a grainy texture. For a smooth surface, sand the trim before applying each coat of paint.

Sand the trim with celtras.uniport.edu.ng/profile/i7zeiwj365/ a fine-grit sanding sponge. Sponges enter into gaps where sandpaper can not go as well as let you use even stress.

After that apply the first layer of paint, allow it completely dry at least 24 hours, lightly sand it once more for a completely smooth surface area, and use the 2nd layer. After each sanding, vacuum the trim, then wipe it down with a tack fabric to remove the dirt.
