Good morning,

we are on our last leg of our journey, another workshop behind us, well at least for me getting the floormats done for you. I've enjoyed it as always..

Now you know me, I ramble a lot so IF there is anything you don't understand just post and we can go through it step by step!!!!

so here goes today's painting

******* See pictured post in 2 posts below..came across something. ******

1: tape again the insert as not to have unwanted paint from our next painting step

Photo 1:

decided to mark off a 3" corner (width of border)

Photo 2:

you can pick the width of the paiters tape you can use..I just used what I had

so from the corner of the 3" block you taped I ran on an angle a piece of tape then 2 more side by side

removed the middle piece and set it next to the one on the right then added a piece and pulled the middle one off again

work your way around the boarder

you will notice that right in the corners next to the 3" square it's wider than all the strips so yes I even put the 3 tape method in the corners so it would be uniform size

now that I've gone all around the edge I'll paint..might not hurt to burnish the tape..I should have used good painters tape but didn't so I will lightly paint my first coat and let dry as to seal between the tape edges
