Q: How quickly can staining rags combust?

• <div><p>Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source. </p></div>

Q: Can you apply limewash with a roller?

• <div><p>No, you can't apply limewash with a roller and expect good results. Limewash is as much a technique as it is a type of paint, and a freehand application with a brush is part of that technique. Hand brushing a large area can be tiring, but limewash goes on easily and only requires thin coats to be effective. </p></div>

Q: What kind of stain can you use on brick?

• <div><p>If you want to avoid damaging your home's brick, you should always use a stain specifically formulated for masonry projects. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it, unlike paints, which sit on the surface and are prone to peeling and flaking. Look for stains labeled for use on brick or other masonry surfaces. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere well and will likely lead to future maintenance issues. </p></div>

Q: Which is better: German schmear, whitewash, or limewash?

• <div><p>When comparing which is better between German schmear, whitewash, and limewash, your answer will depend on the look you're going for. German schmear is the best option for those who want a heavily distressed look for their brick without full coverage. Whitewash is best if you like the current brick color and want it to show through. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-limewash-paint.htm">Limewash paint</a> is best for full coverage.</p></div>

The team at Fireworx installed a gas fireplace insert for me. From the initial consultation and estimate with Bobby to the install with Andrew and Daniel was flawless. They were professional, clean, and came in under my budget. I’d highly recommend them for anyone looking for fireplace...

Eric completely updated our fireplace to match the style of the rest of the house. Our ceiling is 25 ft. high and we wanted to extend the fireplace to the ceiling. We knew it would be difficult to do. Being new to the area, we weren?t sure where to turn. A neighbor highly recommended Eric...

I orginally contaced the fireplace place in morristown and they were asking $275 for an estimate and parts and labor would be extra. They were also charging extra for travel fees even though they are 3 miles away from me. The hotspot did not charge for travel even though they are 30 miles away....

I first called to see if they would inspect existing gas logs that would not work--thought there was something wrong with the gas line. They agreed, but encouraged me first to try a few preliminary steps to get them working. I did so. Finally decided that I really wanted a new set of logs. ...
