Will Emulsion paint cover a small gap between two pieces of wood
It is on a window frame and it looks too narrow to use Decorators Caulk.
Use painters caulk anyway, force some in, cut off the excess
and paint. simple as doing a quick splatter job on the carpet
No.. just as advised by others here mix a bit of filler and
fill it ,let it dry ,sand and then paint with paint for wood not
emulsion..
You just cut the caulk tube really fine and away you go. Smooth
any excess of with a damp cloth or filling knife.
i would use wood filler,that,s good stuff for small cracks,and
you can paint over it easy.
i know it sounds silly but make the split a bit bigger with a
stanley knife make it into a V then fill it with a 2 part wood
filler (cuprinol or such like comes with hardener for a permanent repair
sets quick so don't hang about) then sand flat
I can suggest this, fill the gap with paper ´máché leave to
dry , then sand it down a little . Then you then paint over it
No .rub down a fill with normal filler rub down again , then
paint ....caulking will not work , you can not rub it down .its
elastic..!!!!
It might disguise the gap initially but I think it will sink or
crack in time. A fine filler like polyfilla should fill the gap and the
paint should bind it and hold it in place.Caulk tends to be coarser than
polyfilla.
Try dipping your brush in a bit of filler and painting across
the gap.
Decorators caulk is *exactly* what it needs. Wood swells and
contracts, don't forget.
Additional:
Note for g.m: decorators caulk dries hard and can be rubbed down and
painted.
