Many years ago when I put an addition on my house I simply used stain on the moldings around windows and doors (interior). I did not use anything in addition to the stain, which I believe was MinWax. Now I have decided I no longer like the look of the stained moldings and want to either replace them or paint them. I have two questions:
1) Is it best to use each existing molding as a template for it's replacement, or measure and cut anew the new molding?2) If I decide not to replace the moldings, but rather paint them, hoiw do I prepare the moldings foir painting? What kind of paint would be the best to use, e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic?
Thanks.
