Can you paint oil paint over anti fouling paint?
You should use a barrier paint. The antifouling should be either physically keyed or pressure washed to remove any loose paint or indeed any dirt. Different types of antifouling paint can react with each other
Will enamel paint go over flat paint?
Yes, enamel paint will go over flat paint.
Can you paint over enamel with latex?
you can paint over latex paint with latex enamel.
Can you paint flat paint over Multispec paint?
yes
Can you paint semi gloss over flat latyex paint?
Yes. You can paint semi-gloss latex paint over flat latex paint. It is not advised to paint over any latex with any oil-based paint. Nor is it advised to try and paint over semi-gloss paint with any other finish without first de-glossing the finish and priming.
Can you put a radiant barrier over an old shingle roof and put new shingles on top?
No. A radiant barrier requires an air space to function properly. If the radiant barrier s sandwiched between two solid objects, then the heat will be able to conduct right through it. If you would like to apply a radiant barrier over your existing roof, one solution would be to use spacers or furring strips over the existing roof and use either a tile or metal roof over the spacers. If you must have asphalt shingles, then the radiant barrier would have to be applied in the attic space. A similar issue came up when people wanted to install a radiant barrier under concrete where it would have any air space. In a letter to a manufacturer, the FTC wrote, "It is well accepted that reflective insulation and radiant barrier products must have an air space adjacent to the reflective material to be effective." I am including a link to this letter below. http:/www.rimainternational.org/pdf/ftc-letter.pdf
You'd like to add insulation to my basement ceiling and attic Is miracle wrap insulation all it's cracked up to be?
Depending on the attic installation, you need a perforated product over the floor so condensation is not a problem. I recommend a Fire Rated Class 1 Class A Metalized Aluminum Perforated Radiant Barrier foil. On the attic "ceiling" or roof rafters, you can apply either a bubble/foil or just radiant barrier foil product. Right now there is no government rebate on just foil products so bubble is a good choice if that is important to you. Otherwise, just buy the foil! In your basement ceiling, you can use either product again, however, you will get more R-Value with a bubble product on the ceiling. -EcoFoil
Can roll aluminum insulation be installed on top of blown in insulation?
Fiberglass and cellulose insulation work by slowing down heat transfer from one source to another. That's why the thicknesses of those insulation's are crucial for performance. Also, fiberglass and cellulose only resist heat transfer, they don't block or reflect it so it eventually escapes through. Perforated radiant barrier can be installed over top of existing attic insulation to form a reflective cover to enhance your other insulation. When installing radiant barrier over the attic floor you must use the perforated radiant barrier for maximum breathability. Moist air that is created inside your home must be able to escape as it rises through your ceiling. If a perforated radiant barrier is not used, the moisture will be trapped in between the barrier and your ceiling. When trapped this will cause condensation to form inside the building materials and insulation creating damage and mold. - EcoFoil

Can you put kraft faced insulation in your attic over already installed blown in insulation and if so would you put the paper side down that is toward the rooms below?
I went to a seminar about attic insulating materials and this is what I learned. If you already have blow-in insulation in your attic you shouldn't need more fiberglass. Instead, you will want to install a reflective radiant barrier insulation. Fiberglass and cellulose are designed to slow down heat escaping so you eventually lose most of your heat through the ceiling regardless. You need something to re-direct the heat once it passes through the blow-in insulation. Radiant Barrier will reflect a majority of the heat back once it escapes your blow-in insulation. I bought some Ecofoil online and just rolled it out over top of my existing blow-in insulation, it was very easy. When installing radiant barrier over the attic floor you must use the perforated radiant barrier for maximum breathability. Moist air that is created inside your home must be able to escape as it rises through your ceiling. If a perforated radiant barrier is not used, the moisture will be trapped in between the barrier and your ceiling. When trapped this will cause condensation to form inside the building materials and insulation creating damage and mold.
Will foil faced foam board over fiberglass help reflect radiant heat?
it will heat both in heating and with keeping cool, we installed it on our garage second floor and didn't use foil faced on one side and there is about a ten degree diffence in the rooms in the summer and same in the winter
Can you paint over aluminum foil?
Yes you can, you just have to do multiple coats until you receive the desired color.

How should you make a model of the great barrier reef?
you will need : glue salt A4 paper (1 piece) paint [coral colours] get the A4 paper and spread the glue over it then sprinkle the salt on leave for a 1 minute splat paint on leave to dry for 20 or 15 minutes and you have you very own coral Great Barrier Reef
How can we prevent rust?
By placing some type of barrier between metal and oxygen. That could be paint, plating of a metal such as chrome or nickel over the iron metal, or using an oil based product to coat the metal.
What kind of floorings can go over radiant heat?
The floor you can install on top of the radiant heat is Tile and hardwood floor.
What is a long barrier?
a long barrier is something that gymnastics jump over
