Do not use regular masking tape for this or you will spend hours trying to peel it off afterward!) • A quart of spackling compound, and two sheets of #120 sandpaper, if needed • A quart of latex primer, if priming is needed • A clamp-on electric light fixture, and extra 100-watt bulbs Next, some supplies you likely already have: • Flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers • Plenty of rags • Plastic quart containers (like the kind soup comes in from a takeout restaurant) • An extension pole to attach your roller to (your broom handle will work, just be gentle so it doesn't snap in half) • A stepladder • Gloves • Cap, old shirt, old jeans, old shoes; clothes you're willing to get dirty • A standing fan Once you have everything you need for the job, you have to properly protect everything you don't want damaged, dripped on or sprayed (meaning your desktop computer, the desk, the flat-screen TV, the cat).
