Brushjockey's requested video
« on: December 15, 2008, 07:38:13 PM »
Awhile back Brushjockey sent me this message:

Seems like I need a refresher course in some papering techniques. Particularly with fragile material. So If I could request a vid from you, it would be cutting out a non removable object like a thermostat from the middle of a sheet without ripping / overcutting the edges. Been having problems with that on papers that don't "heal"' well on an overcut.

So I some time today to film a quick tutorial. Before that, I'd like to say this. If the material is expensive, or high-end, like English pulps, or anything that is fragile, I wouldn't hesitate to have the customer remove objects from the room. Thermostats, alarm pads, especially pedestal sinks, toilets etc. need to be removed before some goods are installed. If they can afford the material, they can afford to have a plumber come take care of removing object and obstacles that will hinder a clean install.

Here you go:

Thanks Vin, but I don't want to be 'the man' anymore. Too much pressure.  ;D

Cool vid.

Man, I'd love to learn how to hang some paper.

Never even done it before, but I'd like to learn.

Hey PWG, thanks for doing that! I haven't stopped by for a couple of days and you snuck that one in on me!

My technique is the same, the problem always seem to occur with that final push over after the opening is made, and again with the fragile stuff. And once ripped, often you're screwed. Then I get out the pens and try to make the rip disappear.  I have not requested the client get things removed, but at times have done some myself, particularly with lights and even occasionally a thermo.

And I see you are a blade eater too!  Always want to know where that thing is, and if it's in you're mouth it's hard to forget!

prowallguy,

Because Brushjockey asked to see how I cut around something immovable.
So I left it up and cut around it.
