great #paint work

Limed oak can be achieved in a few ways. Wipe surface with a wash of White látex/emulsion and take off excess with a clean lint-free cloth is the simplest. Seal with a clear varnish when dry. #paint effects have no rules, the only limitation is choice of materials to match your expectations. That's a book right there. https://image.nostr.build/ecfbfb8bb65e6614d05d3b8fb3f419a6ae9d5a36bdf366aceec4b5e407c8d3f7.jpgwhite

How to stop resinous knots from staining through the #Paint? Kind of easy but not without its pitfalls. 2 coats of shellac sealer ie Zinsser BIN or clear shellac knotting. Apply a thin coat fast no fuss. It dries by evaporation , fast. Give It 10 minutes then apply second coats. Again, thin and fast with no fuss. Aerosol is good if you have a lot to do Water-based stain sealers are trickier to use and less effective. In both cases, the trick is to lock in the stain into the first coat. Shellac dries really fast so It locks tve stain in fast. Wáter based sealers take longer to cure, day(s) not minutes. If you apply second coats and the first has not cured you literally reactivate the stain. BEST demo of successful wáter based stain sealers was a coat of Zinsser Bullseye 1-2-3 over nicotine. Left for a week it looked horrendous, but tve staining was locked in and the second coats left It super White and problem solved

A question posed by a smart cookie. Is Nostr going to get samey as a few people work out what generates zaps and every creator follows? Or, as I posit, free of centralised control, individuality will prevail. Currently his argument is winning as there is 90% Bitcoin here and Im still the only one posting about #painting and decorating.

Not a bad hearth. But whoever did the #painting didn't quite pull off the old with the new. The surround looks like bad plasterwork rather than a finish in sympathy with old stonework. The never ending journey is trying to understand why we do things

Just been to a Screwfix store in UK, seen endless stream of trades coming in to pick up orders placed online. I don't understand how the #builders can afford to work like that. Surely a delivery to site is the most cost and time-effective option for seller and buyer? It's not like anyone was chit chatting or making it a social event.

A teapot full of gin? No limits option? Only in England.

Seven years in the making, the final collection of an "alternative Nativity" is finished. Welded steel frames, papier maché over reinforced netting and #painted, decorated and varnished to high heaven. Now ready for a worthy cause to take away and show the rest of Spain an open minded interpretation of the traditional #Nativity characters.

If you have stone floor tiles consider sealing them with clear hydrophobic sealer. If it's good enough for patios...goes a long way and easy to apply. #painting #housepainter

Anti graffiti paint is cleverer than the average graffiti artist. But what a pollaver. So many resources going into a solution to remove artistic vandalism or is it freedom of expression?. Whatever stripe it is, it's a lick of paint and under law it is usually all treated as one - a crime - and has to go. Prevention beats cure. When the artist moves in, the invisible anti graffiti coating makes sure paint can't stick permanently. And when you clean off the graffiti the coating also comes away easily. One of many outstanding anti graffiti products can also prevent rain penetrating stone.

An assortment of items painted for an art installation. Torches, arms, tails, it can all be painted. And all different finishes too. Home brew red pigment added to clear latex; acrylic pink paint; gold flake; varnished blackboard paint. It's all in the basecoats. The art of painting is in preparing the foundation. Michelangelo had terrible trouble early on until he worked out how frescos worked best.

Nostr is different and needs to stay that way. We all know that Google are all pervasive online, but I just saw them for the anvil around our neck they are. I removed one short embedded video from my normie website and swapped it for an image linked to YouTube. So nothing has changed in that readers still have the option to click on the "play" button and YouTube still gets a view. But what doesn't happen any more is the insane amount of resources to make an embed video play. And no tracking. Google tube are consuming so much time, energy, money and peace. They need to stay in their lane. And the public need to disentangle from the matrix and grasp the cost of convenience. The cost of convenience has been really downplayed

Colour picking is probably the most stressful part of the decorating process for most homeowners. It's hard to visualise a new look and mistakes are costly. So most people play safe and stick with what they have or, stress over a new look. In an attempt to help customers, I look for ways to provide samples. From typical colour cards to large handpainted samples they can stick on doors or walls and see what colours do at different times of day ( the colour you picked in the morning will be different at night...) And lately, found some technology with benefits. Between advancing AI tech and paint knowledge, there is no need for customers to limit or worry about visualising finishes any more.

He helped me, but I cant tip him for his tips. #value4value #circular-economy

This illustrates a basic tenet of painting and #decorating - do the hard parts, the fiddly parts first. I worked a house #renovation where it took over a month to prepare the ground floor. A week to deadline, not a sign of an end in sight, to the untrained eye, nobody believed I could finish on time. Wrong. It was the most fun painting week, and very satisfying to stand back and hand over the finished article. It was for a gentleman whose business was taking "finished" apps and polishing them up for global release. He appreciated my approach. Unfortunately I couldn't sell my skills for millions.

Nostr is not just social media, it is an internet of joined up thinking. Housepainter now has a Nostr website on #npubpro ... and the question about the Red Feather is still unanswered. 100 sats if you spot the very cool design element that cracks one of wall painting's niggliest stumbling blocks.

#asknostr 100sats to the first one to spot why the red roller sleeve is better designed for #painting walls than the rest. It's called the Red Feather part of the custom #Wooster Sherlock rolling system. It is suede-flock so holds loads of paint and lays it off very smooth. 4.5" long...not particularly unique, but it has something else really useful about it.

I provided a link to an article on Yakihonne about the wonders of Bitcoin miners opening up electricity networks in rural areas, and the link opens the global feed. That's another potential orange pill ruined.

Tip of the week. It is a good idea to stick a nail in the tip of a nozzle to keep the contents airtight and the nozzle re-usable. It's not a great idea to use a wooden stick instead of a nail in a tube of refractory cement. Ask me how I know!

There's#paint roller sleeves and there's paint roller sleeves. Do the chemists a favour and try match the right roller sleeve to their paint. These are mini rollers. The black foam one, the red crushed pile one and the polar bear on the end are 4.5" only, as far as I'm aware. There are 9" versions of the others and a couple in 14" and 18" too. If you are painting walls and ceilings, use a mini and a matching larger roller sleeve together. Not only does painting speed go up a level, but the quality of finish too. That's nirvana. Yet despite these products being around for so long, if you check the paintwork on walls, they are probably rolled to varying degrees of good. But around most door frames, you still see brush marks where the painter didn't use a matching pile mini roller to get right up close to the frame. Does that aesthetic detail matter in the scheme of things? I'd argue it is quicker for the painter - - one pass around the frame with a brush, a straight cut but not too concerned about it laying down perfectly - pass the mini roller over the brush marks to remove the tramlines AND create a 4.5" band of paint around the frame. - no holds barred now to use a matching 9 or 14" sleeve to roll out the main wall without any concern for getting too close to frames so yeah, if you value time by money, which is the whole point of #bitcoin as money, it locks in the value of the one thing we don't have much of, time, this little detail is well worth aspiring for.
