Will Emulsion paint cover a small gap between two pieces of wood?
Question:It is on a window frame and it looks too narrow to use Decorators Caulk.
Answers:
Decorators caulk is *exactly* what it needs. Wood swells and contracts, don't forget.
Additional:
Note for g.m: decorators caulk dries hard and can be rubbed down and painted.
Try dipping your brush in a bit of filler and painting across the gap.
It might disguise the gap initially but I think it will sink or crack in time. A fine filler like polyfilla should fill the gap and the paint should bind it and hold it in place.Caulk tends to be coarser than polyfilla.
No ...rub down a fill with normal filler rub down again , then paint ..caulking will not work , you can not rub it down ...its elastic..!!
I can suggest this, fill the gap with paper ´máché leave to dry , then sand it down a little . Then you then paint over it
i know it sounds silly but make the split a bit bigger with a stanley knife make it into a V then fill it with a 2 part wood filler (cuprinol or such like comes with hardener for a permanent repair sets quick so don't hang about) then sand flat
i would use wood filler,that,s good stuff for small cracks,and you can paint over it easy.
You just cut the caulk tube really fine and away you go. Smooth any excess of with a damp cloth or filling knife.
No.. just as advised by others here mix a bit of filler and fill it ,let it dry ,sand and then paint with paint for wood not emulsion..
Use painters caulk anyway, force some in, cut off the excess and paint... simple as doing a quick splatter job on the carpet
