I'll be painting my woodwork with latex after years of oil base.
It's going to be a lot of work but probably worth it.
I love this job!
A painting thread, oh boy!
I like painting, houses and such; like gardening, follow the rules and by and large the results are satisfying. Stomping on zombie memes, however, is less so; messy and time-consuming, yet still they never die.
Elixer, what's your plan? Are you going to try and cover the existing paint or strip it off and start from bare wood? Depends on what your particular situation is, so if you'd like some suggestions please give more detail. Photos are always helpful.
Latex over oil is not a problem, if you clean the surface well and use the right primer.
The latex should be fine
After long discussions with bringiton, I finally figured out, or discovered, that the right way to think of water base paints is just like water color -- you keep layering (not like oil, which just covers).

elixr, why do you want to punish yourself?
do you know how much effort it can take to sand oil based paints all the way off the wood? /shudders/
i've learned the hard way that i might as well just get a new wood-thing, given how much time and sweat it takes to completely remove oil based coats. anyway, good luck with that!
Jeralyn took the next step, Lambert
Recent post on her site saying don't rock the boat, basically. You are now one of the only Pro-Democracy blogs on the web.
I'm not calling Jeralyn a facist; its her blog. Just disappointing with the crackdown on people talking bad about a bad candidate.
So, who hates Obama? Can I hear a hallelujah? jk I'm still voting for him, but only as a token black candidate; I can't see any other benefit to having him leading our country: he's given us none.
I don't give two shits about "talking bad"
But I do care, as I constantly point out, about evidence, reasoning, analytical tools, lack of truthiness, and so on. None of which have been evident in the usage and propagation of the Ayers meme. Just because campaigns throw out anything to see if it sticks, that doesn't mean that blogs do, and in particular, this blog.
And if that makes me a fascist, then so be it.
[ ] Very tepidly voting for Obama [ ] ?????. [ ] Any mullah-sucking billionaire-teabagging torture-loving pus-encrusted spawn of Cthulhu, bless his (R) heart.Have no desire to know about the Ayers Meme
From those in the know, it sounds pretty thin, and I don't even know what it's about! Talk about putting your fate in the hands of others...
oh thank goddess, blogtopus
here i was thinking i was the only looser who completely missed the ayers thang.
it's hard, being so alone outside the SCLM
bubble, aint it? not that i'm accusing lambert of being inside it, but unlike him i have neither the time nor interest in chasing down the details of every last SCLM "controversy" and the list of blogs i read daily, shrinks daily. sigh. there's so little that's worth paying attention to, it seems to me. unless i'm really high and then it all makes sense. ;-)
Just trying to clean up the threads
and prepare the way for a "party invariant" future.
