When replacing broken glass pane in window....

Cover the entire broken pane with masking tape on both sides!

Then proceed with a hammer....breaking the remaining glass.

This will allow you to pull out the remaining glass in one large piece
and
keep mess to a minimum!

I would recommend using a pliers to remove glass....

keeping your fingers out of the mix:D
or
wear gloves!

Painting Over a Wall that was Previously Wallpapered

When painting (Latex) over a wall that has been stripped of wallcovering,

ALWAYS

remove ALL existing wallpaper paste!

If you fail to remove all the residue on the wall,
the paint will either slip off the surface or eventually flake off in pasted areas.

If you are not sure if old paste has been removed,
paint the wall with oil base paint to seal it,
this will work as a primer and can be painted over
with your latex paint!
