Success Tips Good for art supplies and tools

I was skeptical but it really was the only way to cut a ceiling line on the high wall of my stairs unless I rented a board or hired someone. This is a homemade tool and should only be used to access places you can't access using the stairs. If a pro showed up with it, I would have fired him immediately. The results will be pretty good, but not perfect. Here are some tips on using this product to get the best results. Before you do anything, attach it to a pole and practice walking in the right spot. This way you can get a feel for how the tool works (it glides easier when there's paint on it). Draw a pillow with a brush. When you use it for the first time, you need to paint it in several layers. Be careful to only get the paint on the pillow. Check all other parts for cleanliness before painting the wall, especially the wheels. Don't try to line it up with the ceiling right away or you might miss it and get paint on the ceiling. Start a few inches lower, then slide up. Move slowly and don't push too hard. As you press, the sponge absorbs more paint and you get paint on the ceiling. Roll gently along the ceiling line until the paint no longer applies to the wall. Move in one direction. don't go back Don't put too much paint on the pad. It will soak the sponge and you will get paint on the ceiling. Each time you remove the pad from the wall, make sure the tool is clean before reapplying. This probably works best on flat walls, but I've used it successfully on textured drywall. Just go slow and don't push too hard!
