Exterior Paint and Siding Tips: - Plan to paint your windows and doors early in the day so that by nightfall they will be ready to close.
- A finishing dip in lacquer thinner will remove any residue left on brushes by mineral spirits or paint thinner.
- Preparation is the key to a long-lasting finish. Before beginning an exterior paint project, check for damage in moisture-prone areas such as around window and door frames and near gutters and downspouts.
- Wood siding used indoors should be brought inside at least two days before installation. Allowing the wood to acclimate will minimize movement later on and provide a better surface for the application of finish.
- When cleaning your siding, start at the bottom and work your way up. Attacking the dirt a little at a time in this manner will decrease the occurrence of unsightly water stains.
- A fine toothed blade installed backwards in your circular saw will allow you to cut vinyl siding with ease.
