REPAIRING WATER STAINS Small stains from water damage can be sealed with a stain blocker and simply repainted. Larger areas of damage, whether from a leaking roof or a burst water pipe, need to be cleaned, thoroughly dried, and then repaired. CONCEAL THE DAMAGE. There are a number of stain-blocking paints available. If the area will be painted, opt for water-based stain blockers, which are easy to work with. Oil- or alcohol-based paints work best if you’re applying a texture over the stained area.
The joint compound is also more porous, so when painted, the repair may still be visible because of a slightly different texture and sheen. • In most cases, you’ll have to prime the repaired area before applying the finish paint. The primer will equalize the porosity of the surfaces, which will help hide the repair. Also, one finish coat of paint is seldom enough; the second coat will help equalize the paint-roller textures. Note that you can now get paints that are primer and paint in one; they work pretty well, especially if the repairs are small.
MORE COMPOUND. When dry, blend in with two or three coats of compound. Sand to finish. EASY HOME DRYWALL REPAIRS ■ 31 REPAIRING A CORNER-BEAD EDGE CRACK 1. A CRACK IN THE CORNER.
