Painting Base Molding




    Painting your base molding can give a fresh, clean look to your room.  In this situation, drop cloths are not the best choice to protect the floor, as you want to be able to paint all the way to the floor with nothing in your way.  One choice is a hand masker--the masker holds a roll of blue tape as well as a roll of paper about 2' wide.  As you pull the paper off the roll, the blue tape attaches itself to your masking paper, then the paper can be cut off against a set of teeth similar to cutting a piece from a roll of plastic wrap.  If space allows, you can also slide something like a manila folder underneath the base, allowing you to paint all the way to the floor without accidentally touching the floor with your brush.  If you need help with painting moldings or other home repairs, please feel free to call/text to (214) 302-9693 or email to alsfairandsquare@gmail.com.  To learn more about us, check out our website at http://alsfairandsquare.com.
