The Dining Room

The Dining room has had issues with time,  Fifty six years of settling has left a few gaps and cracks.
For Spackle I use DAP DRY Dex which goes on Pink and dries white. 

For the gaps and seam cracks I used DAP Polyurethane. 

Both these products work well and clean up easy.

Starting to fill gaps cracks and holes means always finding a spot is more work than was first thought

As for applying Spackle my favorite tool is the "Five in One Painters tool". many companies offer this tool including Hyde, Purdy, Husky, and Wagner.

For masking areas I prefer Scotch Blue. Not because of the way it goes on but the way it comes off.
