If you have to work with a hand tool, it is recommended to buy a wide brush( about 100-125 mm) and a roller( with a pile of at least 1.6 cm).
In the first case - the paint is superimposed by short, alternating vertically and horizontally movements from top to bottom.
Using a roller work will move much faster, but will have to be applied to the layer more. In this case, the tool is found on the surface in different directions with a uniform push.
