Tips: - Mimic the grain pattern on a raised-panel door by painting its parts in order. First, paint the raised panels and center rail with vertical strokes. Next, brush the cross-braces, or stiles, horizontally. Finally, use vertical strokes to paint the outer rails for beautiful results.
- You can lubricate door locks by rubbing the point of a No. 2, graphite pencil on both sides of your house key and working the key into its lock.
- Measuring inside door frames can be tricky. For precise results, run a tape measure across the area, and butt a short accurate ruler against the opposite side. Read the tape where the short ruler ends, and add the length of the ruler for an accurate total.
- Wear rubber gloves when working with unfinished glass. The gloves will protect your hands from cuts, prevent fingerprints and provide a solid grip.
- When replacing window screens, use a light coat of multi-purpose oil on the spline grooves to help ease the spline into place.
- Many minor glass scratches can be polished out using a soft cloth and extra-whitening toothpaste.
