Olympic FastHide Paint
21 Jun
Two things: One. It has come to my attention that if you search for a certain type of paint which appears in one of my photos, Google in it’s infinite wisdom will bring you to my blog. I was not expecting this, nor do I particularly care, but I fell I should say a few words about why I hate the stuff. Basically it’s like trying to paint with some kind of watery baby powder. I tried rolling, brushing, and spraying the stuff. It’s bad, and the words fast hide on the label I feel are very misleading. On the other hand, it’s just about the cheapest thing you can buy in 5 gallon buckets at Lowes. So perhaps it’s my own fault. Speaking of my own fault…Two. Here are some pictures of what happens when you sponge tinted shellac on pine. It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that I’m not sure about it. And yes I know that pine typically stains in this fashion (the technical term would be blotchy) without the use of a pre-stain agent.
I suppose it does have a certain charm abut it.
