Tulip bulbs are blah no color pale, pale yellow
Comments (5)Yes Remy's right. The big box stores and discount clubs often don't come true. You get what you pay for. Check out the full service nurseries next time. You may be surprised how competitive they are. This spring I got a package of 2 picotee begonia tubers from HD. They were small and pitiful and cost almost $5. I happened to be at a full service nursery and the same tubers were 4x size and only $4.40 for the two. So the box stores don't always have the best deal price or quality wise......See MoreFound a couple of pale yellow's today
Comments (12)Pale?!?!? I'm just now viewing them at 9:40 P.M. while my vision is starting to tire for the evening, then POW! I think my transition lenses in my glasses greyed up a bit in order to view the brilliance! I have seen Indian Ripple before, but not from the side edges. You've really sold me on that one, my favorite on this thread. Thanks for brightening my evening! Julie...See MoreYellowing alkyd isn't a problem if I'm using 'yellow' right??
Comments (5)Bacteria? Brittle? Yikes! Ok, ok, I guess you have convinced me. Here is why I was planning on using oil, in backwards order of importance: 5. I actually like the smell of oil paint (bad, bad, bad, I know). And irrelevant in the long term. But I just kind of enjoy it. Mineral spirits too. Mmmmmm. 4. I've been using oil primer (BM Fresh Start) with my beloved Corona Chinex brushes. After cleaning, the still have residue from mineral spirits. Although a guy from Corona told me they should be ready-to-go in the latex after a washing with soap and water, I'm a bit hesitant to swich them to a different type of paint (thinking of oil and water not mixing, so to speak). So, I was sort of thinking that I've already committed my brushes to oil. 3. My 80 year old kitchen is harboring some really funky old smells. Not entirely sure why. When I sand the old wood (Douglas /fir), it releases some very unpleasant smells. Probably decades of cooking odors, cigarette smoke, and ancient adhesive from shelf paper (tho actually the whole house harbors these smells). I was thinking the oil would help cover/seal this better than acrylic. 2. I've read here that the BM alkyd Impervo is one of the best performing paints ever made. But the number one REAL reason I was going to stick with the oil... 1. I'm just terrified of the difficulty and fast dry time with the BM waterborne Impervo. I'm a slow painter, and I'm constantly interrupted by my 2 little boys. I'm worried that it will look crummy. On the other hand, it WOULD be nice to get all the (open) containers of mineral spirits off of the kitchen counter. That can't be too good for the food prep situation... And then there is my unvented 1955 vintage stove with all the pilot lights going, and wisps of gas always escaping whenever the oven is turned on. :-) Francy...See MoreSouth Facing/Low light Pale yellow Open Concept HELP PLEASE
