- Hold a paint scraper or putty knife at an angle and slide it along the wall.
- Use a wire brush to remove smaller pieces of loose paint, making sure to remove any paint next in line to the chip.
- Lightly sand the area around the chip.
- When no more paint chips flake off, you’re ready to patch the area.
- Use wood putty or acrylic latex filler to fix the repaired area for a smooth finish.
- Test for lead-based paint, find solutions for moisture exposure, and follow the steps to repair it.
- Before repainting the affected area, fix the chipped paint to get a smooth finish that will last.

Why not do another article on you ghille kettle, this time without burning the lawn. 🙂 As far as interviews here are a few ideas, Charlie Jacobi, David Wright, maybe a game keeper or common fellow who is out doing a spot of ratting. Maybe interview some kids about their experiences? Maybe interview Deep Digger Dan, being your waving the metal detector around. You could take a person who has never fished out and interview them about it. Just some ideas for you fellows. Keep up the good work. You inspire me to make more articles though my time is short as of late.
My wife constantly nags me about this problem. There isn’t a day that goes by when she doesn’t remind me that we have a crack in the bedroom that she wants me to fill. When we 1st got together I was much more enthusiastic about these chores, but now after 29 years together the very thought turns me cold. I’ve tried to explain this to her but all she says is that if I’m not willing to do it she’ll have to get an expert in to do the job.
