Satin

No.

Yes, if you can paint a wall, you can paint wainscoting.

Yes but there is no guarantee that the colour on the surface will not streak or show a different colour through. Added to this is the fact in many houses in particular there are spray polishes used. These become airborne and do make their way to pained surfaces even if you don't actually polish that surface directly. Its a safer bet with same colour paint to give it a light rub with sand paper , then wipe with a clean damp cloth and then the satin coat should adhere to a much better standard

There are 2 possible types of binding - bias binding and binding tape. Bias binding is basically a piece of bias-cut fabric which is folded in on both edges, binding tape looks similar to ribbon with either a Matt or satin finish (generally the Matt tapes are made from cotton and the shiny satin tapes are man-made) and can be either straight or bias-cut.

For the purpose of a blanket I'm assuming you are using the ribbon-type shiny binding. The best way to stop the binding bunching lies in good preparation

a) make sure the blanket has been cleaned first - even if it's new get it cleaned - if it's cotton wash it. The purpose of the cleaning is to make sure that the blanket is pre-shrunk as one of the causes of puckered binding is that the blanket can shrink whereas the satin binding will not.

b) measure the side of the blanket where you are going to stitch the binding, measure out a similar length of binding plus extra for 'finishing off' at either end - this 'extra' needs to be a couple of centimetres or an inch at either end (do not cut the at this stage, just mark the amount of tape needed with chalk or whatever you have that will leave a visible mark.

c) pin the binding at either end of the blanket allowing the extra to hang over the end. Make sure the binding is lying flat against the blanket - if it isn't flat adjust until it is.

d) now tack the binding onto the blanket using a thread that is clearly visible on the tape and with stitches no longer than a quarter of an inch/half a centimetre - make sure you tack both edges of the tape like this, but sufficiently far away from the edge of the tape for a machine to stitch along the tape without going over the tacking - if you machine over the tacking stitches you'll find it very difficult to remove them and may well need other equipment like a stitch ripper and tweezers.

e) now machine along each edge of the tape at a slow to medium speed - if you sew too quickly it can cause the stitches to pull.

f) finally turn the ends of the binding in upon itself and hand stitch to the back of the blanket.

Et Voila! you have a nice, unbuckled edging on your blanket.

A word of warning - even after all this painstaking work it's still possible that a cotton blanket could shrink further if you wash in water so, if it's really important to you that it doesn't pucker, always dry clean a cotton blanket.

Carole Bell lives in Scotland with her sister Jean, sadly Sue died about 7 years ago. I am their sister-in-law and live in Australia with their youngest brother.

Thanks for the response have been in touch with the girls in Scotland, we were friends in Liverpool. They are now friends on facebook.

I have two gallon of paint. Same brand name. one is egg shell the other is flat. can I mix the to together?

ANSWER: As long as they are the same base, water or oil, you can mix them together. Realize though, that you will never be able to get touch up for the paint once it runs out unless you mix to a ratio that can be recreated.

There are different kinds of satin paint - you'd have to know if it was latex, oil, enamel, alkyd etc.

If they are both of the same base you can. Satin paint can be an acrylic or a latex,or an oil. Check on the can cleaning instructions for base. Jason Pollock used both in his work 'Bluepoles' which hangs in the Canberra museum I think

If you mix a flat and semi-gloss 1:1 you should end up with a paint in the eggshell range. Mix the same paints 1:3 and you should end up with a satin. Experiment with small amounts to get the desired gloss.

May 10, 1994 COMPANY NEWS; INSILCO TO SELL SINCLAIR PAINT UNIT FOR $51 MILLION The Insilco Corporation agreed yesterday to sell its Sinclair Paint Company subsidiary to Grow Group Inc. for $51 million. But it said two other divisions -- its Rolodex office products business and the Curtis Manufacturing Company, a maker of computer accessories -- were no longer for sale. Insilco, based in Midland, Tex., emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1993. The company said last fall that it would seek buyers for the three businesses.

If I Die Young.

Understandably you feel insecure because his attention is not where it should be. He is being rude and disrespectful to you. At such a sensitive time, everytime, in a womans life, he should be keeping you at peace and assuring you that you are the most beautiful girl in the world to him. We are human and do look but not to the point where our spouse/partner feels insecure or upset. He can look all his wants when he is not in your presence and keep to being a real man and not act on his impulse. There are many men that find a pregnant women extremely attractive. They take in all the beauty there is that a women is carrying a child. Sit down with your husband and express, every single feeling you have about his rudeness and if he doesnt discontinue this, at least in front of you, then you have some options. You can give him a taste of his own medicine and ogle other men, you can start by jazzing up the way you dress so other men look at you, even more. You can invite a bunch of people over and have a grown up discussion about when a COUPLE is pregnant, how the woman does bare the brunt of the deed, so to speak, but that the MANS role is to assure his woman, that no other is for him. Good luck and congratulations on the birth of your 5th. I was the 5th in my family, good number.

it takes about 3 and a half hours to dry in a living room

Put a good primer on it.

Chrome is a mirror-like finish on metals and some plastics. "Satin" chrome has a finish that is NOT mirror-like but brushed or dull.

It would be your preference, but you're right: they should be the same.

"Wiseguy" , starring Ken Wahl as undercover government agent Vinnie Terranova, and Ray Sharkey as crime boss Sonny Steelgrave. This was the first "arc" of episodes of the series from 1987. The song plays at the end of the last episode of this group of shows. I don't know if the rights for the song were secured for the DVD box set, {Wiseguy - Sonny Steelgrave and the mob, Season 1 Part 1}. - Alan B. in CT
