Decorating order
I have a freshly plastered room, with no mouldings yet in place (dado,
architraves and skirting all to be glossed, cornice emulsion) which I intend to sand and stain the floors in. Therefore do I: 1. Fit cornice emulsion walls & cornice sand & stain floors fit dado and skirting gloss OR 2. Fit cornice sand & stain floors emulsion walls & cornice fit dado and skirting gloss OR 3. Fit cornice Fit dado and skirting emulsion walls and cornice gloss sand and stain floors OR some other combination? My feeling is 1. to avoid sawdust getting into the emulsion, and be very careful about preparing the surface for gloss - i.e. clean very well. I'd rather sand the floors before fitting the skirting so that I dont ruin the skirting. 2. seems reasonable though if I clean well after sanding?? Any good ideas/experience welcome. Cheers, Rich |
