That allows me to get good coverage in a controlled area. I hope that helps!Thirty Eighth Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07098776368256911894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065456207587660712.post-38171514208108362082017-08-04T09:17:44.604-07:002017-08-04T09:17:44.604-07:00Hello, I love, love, love, your project. I'm p...Hello, I love, love, love, your project. I'm pretty inexperienced but these chunky 1970s pieces are my absolute favorite to work on. I understand what you mean when you're talking about the revese technique but I don't get how you can get such good coverage in the lowest reassessed area of the actual base of the drawer front but have bare spots on the scrolly part... What kind of sorcery is this? Haha. Whenever I've tried to get full coverage in those spots, I find myself using a heavy amount of paint to get all the nooks filled and uniform coverage in the lowest parts. I hope that made some sense. I know, trial and error. I'm just sick of all the erroring lately. Thanks for your time. Again, beautiful work my friend!

I'm pushing the paint into the crooks and crannies but I don't go for full coverage. I want some of that original wood to show through. That's what gives it the distressed look. I hope that helps!...
