curlyoak Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I have one idea of how to do this. Tape. Is there any other way that is better? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Yeah it'd probably be best to tape of joinery. It'd be a lot less taping. More i think about it. taping the panel would probably be the better way. It'd allow for a better looking painted face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom King Posted January 10, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I would at least prefinish the panel, and paint the edges that join the panel before assembly. I prefinish as much as possible, even the bottom edge of crown molding before I put it up if the wall is going to be a different color. For me, taping is a last resort. I try not to use it to divide two different colors, but when I do, the tape is pulled off while the paint is wet, or I caulk the edge of the tape first with clear latex caulk, and still pull it off while the paint is wet. Even the fancy tapes with built-in pixie crystals don't leave a perfect edge. 3M makes some good tapes that can be pulled off while the edge is wet, but if I'm using Frog Tape for some odd reason, the edge of the FT is caulked. The caulk seals the pixie crystals, and doesn't show if there are little bits under the tape. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
