justmesue Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You'll do just fine! It's not a difficult task, just time consuming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 The Westville was my first siding job, and you can read all about the things I learned NOT to do, or to do differently, in my portion of the Team Westville blog. I love to side, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks for the link, that has a lot of information on it! I read the tut on building the furniture and discovered she does the same thing I do to avoid problems with glue on stained pieces. I use the gel medium with enough acrylic craft paint to tint it-it will stick to glue, which makes it well worth the price! I have done this with all my flooring and no spots!
