Another DIY Tip

Here's a little DIY tip is for sealing the ceiling wood. If the wood was going on the floor or even walls you would be up close and personal with we would spray the sealant. But since it is way above eye level and we would spend a good hour and a half sealing the area off with plastic to spray, then the lengthy cleaning of the spraying apparatus we opted to brush on the poly urethane. Spraying gives the smoothest finish but this wood is not smooth to begin with so this way will do just fine.

Since we will be brushing above our heads I cut down a paper cup and slipped it onto the handle of the brush then taped it into place. This way the sealant will drip down the brush and into the cup not down our arm. Plastic gloves will be worn also but this will save us from a big mess.

A 2 inch brush is being used because it fits in the can and can easily be worked into all the joints of the boards.
