Q: How do I get paint to stick to laminate?

• <div><p>Laminate countertops are known for their smooth texture. While this makes cleaning them easy, it can also make it difficult for paint to adhere without a few preparation steps. To get the paint to stick to the laminate, you should thoroughly clean the surface and then lightly sand it with high-grit sandpaper. After sanding, use a tack cloth to remove any traces of dust.</p></div>

Q: How often should interior painted surfaces be refreshed?

• <div><p>Every 5-7 years, or more frequently in high-traffic areas showing wear.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if I used interior paint outside?

• <div><p>First off, take a breath. The good news is that interior paint, especially when used outside, won&rsquo;t harm your health. The bad news is that you&rsquo;re going to have to reapply the proper exterior paint at some point in the not-so-distant future. Otherwise the current coat will chip, crack, and fade, or worse, develop mold or an insect infestation without remediation. </p></div>

Q: How long does exterior paint need to dry before it rains?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that&rsquo;s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. </p></div>

Q: Can you save a dried paintbrush?

• <div><p>With patience, you can often save a dried paintbrush. Soak the bristles overnight and clean the brush as you would any other time. You'll likely have to repeat the cleaning steps, including soaking, more than once.</p></div>

Phil and his crew rearranged their current jobs to ensure that our floors were refinished in time to get the painting done before our move-in date. We also asked them to remove all the baseboards and quarter round - which was good thing because then we could see how poorly the flooring had been...
