Adding trim to the stairs and painting! What do you think, how does it look? #stairtread #painter
What happens here
Begin by thoroughly sanding the baseboards to create a smooth surface and ensure proper paint adhesion. The video demonstrates using an Ekasan 3x4 sander, which appears to have a dust extraction system connected for a cleaner work environment. Pay close attention to any areas that were previously filled with putty or caulking, ensuring they are flush and smooth. After sanding, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove all sanding dust from the baseboards and surrounding floor areas, preparing them for masking and painting.
Goal: Smooth and clean baseboards for painting
