Heavy Duty 30cm/12" Decorators Straight Edge | Ideal for Trimming Wallpaper/Cutting-in Paint

Product Information

Trimming Edge with plastic handle and stainless steel straight edge to get straight clean edges when hanging and trimming wallpaper and wallcoverings. This time I'm really struggling, it keeps snagging and tearing and even when I get a cut going the result is a feathered edge instead of a clean cut. The way my old man taught me, gently scribe along the paper after it's pushed into place with a putty knife, peel back and cut with scissors, or mark with a pencil and cut with scissors. From hand held tools to advanced machinery, we have it covered from leading brands such as Halls Beeline and Rodo .

r\n\r\nAlternatively, you can crease the paper at the ceiling-wall corner, peel it back to cut along the crease with shears and then smooth it back onto the wall. Over the years I have seen many shots on Instagram where budding DIY enthusiasts have cut the edges of wet wallpaper and honestly it looks a mess. Alternatively, you can crease the paper at the ceiling-wall corner, peel it back to cut along the crease with shears and then smooth it back onto the wall. It is important to snap off a section of blade after every few cuts, as they soon dull and start to tear the paper rather than make a clean cut.Pressing the Escape (ESC) button will close the modal and bring you back to where you were on the page.

Before you move on to the next drop, remove any adhesive from the face of the wallcovering with a damp sponge. Once you are certain it is safe to trim the wallpaper, run your smoothing tool along the angle where the wall meets the ceiling and top of the baseboard, making a crease. If there is a need to move the paper to keep the pattern match correct, this extra length could be helpful. I normally use the 18mm trimming knife as illustrated, usually with a large degree off success although a few times recently I've had papers (cheap ones) that snag on the blade to the extent that I move onto the next blade with each 'drop'.

The initial cut of each main panel should allow two inches of overlap at the ceiling and the baseboard. Whether it's to pass that big test, qualify for that big promotion or even master that cooking technique; people who rely on dummies, rely on it to learn the critical skills and relevant information necessary for success. When cutting a 90-degree angle around door or window trim, make a pencil mark at the outside point of the angle.

This will make it nearly impossible to make the same cut described above without tearing the wallpaper to shreds. Just peel the paper back, place the tool to corner(ceiling or skirting), lay paper to the tool, slice off with your blade(easily and straight), remove the tool and lay paper back. Seals and sets seams in one easy step and slides along for neat, clean trims even in corners - where paper-hanging brushes can struggle. div>\r\n
