What is high build paint?
A high build paint can be sprayed thicker without running or sagging. This is important when you are trying to get better hiding properties. We use a high build paint for our contractor grade paint on new construction houses. From a Glidden web site I saw that their high build paint could be sprayed up to 20 mils thick, whereas from a Diamond-Vogel web site I saw that their non-high build paint could only be sprayed to a thickness of 4 or 5 mils. Using a high build paint also helps when you are not using a primer because the drywall paper and drywall compound could prematurely suck out the water out of a thinner coat of paint causing the paint to crack or cure improperly.

How do you remove paint from molding?
It is often easier to remove old paint from molding and trim when they have been removed, making them easier to work with. Removed or not the method is the same. Apply a heavy coat of paint stripper to the surfaces in question and allow enough time for the stripper to break down the old paint. The most common mistake people make when using paint stripper is not giving it enough time to work or not using enough of the product. To make any paint stripping job easier I apply the first coat and wait for 20 or 30 minutes. Then, for good measure, I apply a second coat of stripper which usually loosens any remaining old paint. Once all the old paint has been loosened by the stripper use a plastic putty knife to remove the paint and leftover stripper. Metal scrapers or putty knives will leave deep gouges in the molding, trim or whatever you might be scraping. In my experience the gel strippers work the best, are easier to clean up and don't make too much of a mess. After those two steps are complete use a 60 or 80 grit sand paper for the initial sanding then 120 grit or finer for a nice smooth surface. When all is said and done the smoother the surface the better your project will look upon completion. Also, be sure to wear rubber gloves when applying and scraping the stripper, as it is pretty caustic stuff.

How do you seal a garden water fountain?
I have fighting a fountain for 20 years and finally found a solution. Caulk does not work well as it only lasts a short time submerged. The substrate is also not one that adheres well to caulk. The answer is Blue Max rubberized paint. It comes in a paste format that is as thick as pudding. Paint one layer at the joint where all the trouble begins and lay their mending tape into the wet paint. Then paint a second coat over that one. After it drys, paint another coat. When that dries paint the entire inside with Thoroseal tinted to the color you prefer. It will flex with movement at the joint and not leak. Good luck.
