TUTORIAL: How to daub a chimney
Last month I have decided to do something good for my home. I always liked doing something on the building site, so finishing a chimney with an ornamental daub seemed quite an interesting idea for me. So here’s what you have to do:
1) You have to have a chimney to daub. Bigger, smaller – it doesn’t matter. So the first (and very hard work is to prepare the place for work – its not very easy if you want that everything would look the same way it was before daubing your chimney.
2) When you are ready pick up a daub and a luting tool you like.
3) Put the daub on the chimney and scrub it with a luting tool until you get the desired look.
4) When the chimney is finished, prepare it for painting job (do it carefully, because it is hard to clean the paint latter)
5) Well I thought that chimney is going to be white first, so I have panted it in white, but you have to paint it the color you need from the first time. And just don’t try to do it when it rains outside! Because you will have the same effect that I had – almost all of the paint leaked down the chimney and I had to paint that again.
6) When the work is done, just clean the palace and put on the lamp if needed.
Now take a look at the work progress photos:
