Some of you may remember me complaining about painting (many times) and asking questions about better ways for painting. Well, I came up with a helpful idea yesterday. I am starting to list the recommended drying time in large, easily read figures on the lids of the paint cans with a marking pen.
Touch: x hours
Recoat: y hours
Wait 42/48 hours after: z hours
I make it big enough so I do not even need my glasses to read it. That way I will no longer need to use my magnifier to re-read the fine print on the can for the thirty-seventh time when I use it.
When it comes to painting, every little thing helps.
Now if I could only get the paint manufacturers to stop using those cans that rust at the drop of a hat. I mean, $15 or $25 or $50 of paint in a can that's guaranteed to rust away. For gosh shakes!
