A few days ago, I gave you a tour of a job I did in 2003. I was revisiting this condo to do a little repair work.
A crack had developed on this wall and my finish had blistered and cracked. Luckily, I had kept some good records from this job. The condo unit had been sold to someone new shortly after I completed the original work and my name and contact info were passed on to the new owner. The finish was done with LusterStone, which is very easy to repair.
I scraped and sanded the area and applied some patch compound. Once dry, I feathered on the original base paint color used under the Lusterstone.
To speed things up, I used a blow dryer between the layering.
Once the base paint was dry, it was easy to feather in the LusterStone with a small Japan Scraper.
Once done, it all blended quite nicely!
Oh, I almost forgot…
Here’s a rare shot of me NOT wearing my painter’s overalls while I work! I knew this job would only take me an hour or less, and was off to do something non-paint related after, so I donned my apron instead! Of course, I did manage to get some of the Lusterstone on my sweater sleeve :-(, but it washed out.
