disappear me for revealing these gems. But a Popular Mechanics article promotes the following: * Sanding * Tinted primer * Press blue tape with putty knife * Use paint extender/conditioner * Scrape a ridge in a textured ceiling * Use canvas drop cloths [better if it has a plastic backing] * Do one wall at a time * Scrape (don't tape) windows * Box paint * Wash roller covers before use * Degrease walls before painting* * Load the brush * Push paint Full explanations and examples he http://www.popularmechanics.com/home...-you#fbIndex13 -------- * Oil and (latex) paint don't mix.
