A Sharp Tip idea on what to do with fresh secondary wood or structural wood Secondary wood meaning not part of a prop or main object in a Halloween haunted scene.
For instance, in the following photos, the Isolation Trunk is an object in the scene that sits on the floor of the scene. The Isolation Trunk is a main object while the floor is really secondary and structural.
The plywood floor is fresh wood so it’ll not look 100% correct in the scene if left as is, it needs to be darker. However, we would not paint it black as black does not reflect any light and often makes a scene too dark for your guests eyes and its sometimes tough to get good Halloween images.
Instead we just “dirty” it up by lightly spray painting black onto the plywood.
It doesn’t take much spray paint or time to turn fresh looking wood into dirty wood which is almost always the better look in a Halloween Haunt scene.
