What happens here

Using a small chip brush, the glitter-infused top coat is meticulously applied to the perimeter, along the base of walls (footings and stem walls), where the main floor meets the vertical surfaces. This 'cutting-in' technique ensures neat and even coverage in areas where a squeegee cannot reach.

Goal: Apply glitter top coat neatly to floor edges and vertical surfaces

Tools and materials

  • Chip Brush — Applying the top coat to edges and corners
  • Knee Pads Fento — Comfort and protection while working on hands and knees
  • Painter's Tape 3M — Masking off areas to ensure clean lines (green tape shown)
  • Plastic Sheeting EASY MASK PREMIUM — Protecting vertical surfaces from overspray or drips

What they say

Hide

than we can handle. We're doing our footing. So, I'm just cutting in the footings and stem walls, you know, right now. And all you're doing [snorts] is just taking a chip brush and just brushing it on. I'm brushing on our coat, you know, prior to um squeegeeing out and doing our floor. So, just using once again just a throwaway chip brush and you're just brushing on a thin thin coat.
