Hmmm, directions not suggestions. Duh!

What began a few days ago as a simple repaint of a spare bathroom has turned into a tear out/re-do. Fair enough. It?s completely gutted, everything but the tub gone. Drywall patchwork finished, ready for paint. So far, so good. Time to scrub the painted areas with trisodiumphosphate. Haven?t used that evil stuff in quite awhile. NOW I remember the directions about wearing gloves while washing with the stuff. Lol, the burning is about stopped and there sure isn?t any dirt under my nails!

    Painted many bathrooms, all turned out excellent and never ever heard of that stuff.

    I use some flake asbestos mixed with my liquid mercury to give it a textured surface plus it helps insulate.

    Like using battery acid laced sand paper, after 20yrs of painting my Dad's rentals using TSP, I'm amazed I still have fingers! But...anything you use for paint over it, sticks like glue, especially over oil base paint. Sometimes I got out of painting because it made the old paint look new again.

    ...it?s evil stuff but definitely cleans well and breaks the glaze on existing paint.
