Need some help on this one. We're starting a job on Monday and its untreated exposed oak every where, theres no ceiling as the full oak roof is exposed and there are oak colums everywhere, middle of walls. corners etc. (Horizontal and Vertical). Obviously we need to protect the oak at all costs but we're unsure of the best way to cover it.
So far we've thought of Gaffer taping all oak off prior to starting a room but are concerned about the tape staining the oak because of the glue. Ames Taping may be an option but don't really want to do it because its crap compared to plastering, also still need to protect the oak from Fastset and Velvet. Other option is instead of finishing into the corners as normal, start a couple of inches away from the edge and feather out just skimming full areas except the edges.
Looking for any other suggestions or advise especially if you've done something like this before. any help would be much appreciated.
