Tip of the Month
May 2009

To make sure I get the exact kind of paint each time I paint it I do this: I have the paint department print me an extra label that they would put on the top of the can. I then take this label and place it on the backside of a business card. Under the label, I will write. 1 gallon or 5 gallon formula, brand of paint, and sheen (flat, gloss,etc.). I then wrap this card in Scotch tape and keep it in my wallet. Now it is water resistant, and I have it with me whenever I need it.
