Old, flaking paint should be cleaned from your wood surface area or your brand-new paint will ultimately let go. Make sure the surface areas are dry. Then scrape in the direction of the grain to refrain from tearing the wood fibers and producing an unstable surface for your paint primer. Obviously, a sharp scraper is the most effective. You can acquire hardened steel scrapes, or for about twice the cost, you can get carbide scrapes. Good quality scrapers all have changeable blades. You can conveniently develop a steel scraper blade using a fine metal file. The carbide blades last many times much longer however must be honed with special tools. Buy new blades to have on hand.
How We Scrape Paint
Pluging Up Holes
We pack large crannies and also furrows with a two-part resin filler such as a high performance wood filler. You need to mix these setting sorts of fillers, however they stick far better to wood than other fillers. Get rid of any kind of paint around the area before filling. You can fill nail holes with them as well. For little, superficial blemishes, use an outside spackling compound. Splits can be filled with exterior caulk after priming.

Clearing the Painting Area
