We have a great deal of Dentil Molding. Until I looked it up on the internet, I thought it was actually Dental Molding because it looks like teeth.

Yes, kind of like these teeth, but scarier. |
According to
a random architecture website the experts in the field, "A dentil is one of a series of closely spaced, rectangular blocks that form a molding."

The thing about painting
Dental Dentil Molding is all those little spaces. It's kind of like trying to floss these. Not that I have tried.

Sharks can have up to 3,000 teeth. And apparently, monster case of gingivitis. |
I never found a brush that worked well.

One of the FOUR different brushes I tried - in vain. |
Several days and a monster crick in my neck later - I was beginning to feel a little overwhelmed!

Just go ahead and put me out of my misery. |
But I pressed forward and finished my project. By finished, I mean "Almost Finished." The Almost is always implied.

Needs new accessories and handle pulls. |
Unfortunately, this was just the little shark. The big shark still looms in the waters. Da, da, da, da...

Just a small snippet of the thousands of dentils in my kitchen. |
I had an epiphany this morning. I think I need a bigger boat. (That was a Jaws reference for those of you under 30.) Really, I just need a new tool.

The Wagner Control Spray Max Paint Sprayer is in my future. |
Look out!
Too bad your birthday is 11 months away! If I get you one of those spray max thing-a-ma-jigs, will you come spray paint Bryon's "shark" in the garage??
ReplyDeleteAs always, thanks for the laugh!
I like the new pic on your header!
ReplyDeleteWell, I thought it was dental too. Learned another new thing from reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteMolly! I'm de-lurking to say that we own that sprayer and we LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThat said - follow the instructions about thinning the paint first.
