The two types of fresco painting are buon fresco and fresco secco. Buon fresco is painting into wet plaster, which makes a painting last a long time. Fresco secco is painting onto dry plaster, which does not last as long.


Can you leave the stain on without wiping it off and just put the gloss right over it?

Yes. I do it by painting the stain on the wood with a paint brush to get an even coat. You can re-coat in a few hours until you get the color you want. Then, you have to let it dry longer than the can says since you didn't wipe off the 'excess.' Wait about twice as long as the can says before you put a covering coat of anything. If you don't let it COMPLETELY dry before you apply the glossy finish, the vapors in the stain will force their way out thru the gloss coat and blister the glossy finish and make a mess. The last time I did this, I let the stain air dry for 3 days before applying the glossy coats. I've had no problems with the results but you have to very patient.


What are frescoes and where are they found?

Frescos are murals painted onto plaster. Buon fresco, the technique of painting on wet plaster, creates vibrant colors and lasts a long time. Fresco secco, the technique of painting on dry plaster, does not last nearly as long.


Do you need to double paint the exterior of a house if you use paint and primer mix?

As long as the surface you are painting over is in sound condition, you can apply only one coat of paint. It's been that way long before marketers started tricking people who don't want to do prep into thinking that their paint was special. The truth is that most 100% acrylic paints will adhere fine to just about any painted masonry or wood surface. However, when you do apply two coats of paint, you're adding more millage or thickness, which means that you are adding more protection. If you want that millage and protection without doing a lot more labor, then look into a high adhesive, high build coating.

How should you do your nails?

First of all, i you think your nails are too long, clip 'em and file 'em. You apply the inner coat on your nails. After the coat dries, apply your nail polish with whatever design you want. Then if you want to give your nails a glossy effect you could apply nail enamel/ hardener. If you don't want to paint your nails but you want to gloss them apply either nail enamel/hardener or apply nail gloss that is if it actually exists. loooooool. Have a nice nail!!!
