Hey Bruce here with five minute handyman I want to talk to you today about rolling a wall and just give you some thoughts and ideas about that let me show you some of the hardware what we're doing is we're going to paint this section of the wall got my roller and paint ready I've got a tarp down on the floor I also like to take a piece of tape and put it on top of the baseboard and I don't I'm not putting it on here to be able to cut this line straight so I just want to tape it on here and have it flaring out so that it'll catch any drips let me show you what happened over on this side as I was painting I did have a drip and where did it land right on the tape it didn't run down onto my previously painted baseboard now when I did paint my baseboard I did put down tape on the floor and you can see that typically drips will come in close to the wall and so the this tape did catch that drip likewise you can also use a piece of paper with tape on it so you have a larger area to protect your floor's depending on the kind of flooring that you've got but so what I'm going to do is I will let me just set this up and I'll show you how I go about doing my taping and rolling all right so here's what we're going to do I've got a piece of painters tape and I am just going to take and put it on to the top of my baseboard just tacking on here I don't want to push it down tight because I want to protect key areas low that's all we do up a rate cut this line so now I just need to roll in between so if you like rolling a lot of loads load my roller and load it very well I did it all load it up I'll take my edges and get the paint off of the edges so I don't generate long inks what I am we're not doing my tank thing the other thing that I'm doing is I'm using a half inch nap roller which holds a little bit more paint than the three-eighths nap roller and it's what I'll do is I'll start near the bottom and I'll come up get a paint on the wall there's two parts of the painting was getting the paint on the wall the second part is who they am so then I'll come next to it again get most of the paint off of my roller and then I'll come back and work it into the pores of the wall so you can you can do either the the W paddle we're making the W on the wall or you can just do straight up and down doesn't really matter but the key is really to make sure that you are changing the orientation of the roller so that it's not pressing on the wall like a river II printing press if you had an artifact on this roller and make sure able to mean by that we scrape off some of the paint here and when I roll this is going to leave a weird pattern if I rolled it and kept it Epis in in the same orientation and up and down just going to keep that artifact in that spot so what I'm going to do is I'll have to change the orientation and he will just lift it up and move it down a little bit so it doesn't line up and then that goes away so I don't think it's been paint on the wall I hadn't worked in nicely and what I'm going to do is I'm going to draw on the paint and that means I'm going to just take and use very light pressure over a lot about a third of my roller and draw it in one direction and it's going to ensure that I don't have any lines where the edges are and it's going to give me a nice uniform texture to the wall paint and then when we're finished just take off the tape and we've got a nice clean base board
