An incredibly basic question -- but I'm convinced there must be some clever technique that I'm missing.
I've tried painting shelves with them sitting on bits of newspaper. It works, but I tend to end up with a fair amount of paper stuck to the wood -- and cutting it off can damage the fresh paintwork.
I've thought about trying to do it on trestles, but that either means buying lots and lots of trestles, or only doing one coat on one shelf at a time -- very slow.
As I said, it's a simple question about a simple job. But does anyone have any tips?
Thanks,
James
