Spray Can Blister...

OK, maybe I am extra fragile and delicate, or maybe I have been pressing far too many nozzles attached to spray cans...

I have a small blister on my index finger. Fortunately it is low enough on the pad that I can still type.

Lots of spraying going on. I was using the spray citristrip for the built in cabinets and had planned on using the brush on gel on the doors, since they can be laid flat and it wouldn't run like it did on the cabinet frame.

Well, it is much more time consuming to try to paint that gel on than to spray it on, and the spray is a much more even coating... so... lots of cans of that crap in the garage waiting to be used.

I also used 2 cans of spray paint when I painted the register covers and the air return covers.

Then, I got a can of green to spray on that icky rusted up T bar for the clothesline.

Then, I got a can of grey to spray on the front of the porch to cover up the crack house address someone painted on using black spray paint. It was too dark (it was primer - the only flat grey I could find...) so I primed the galvanized metal hand rail for the steps.

I then took the dark red paint I bought to cover the primer, but it ended up being too bright and with a purple cast. It was also failry glossy for a satin... so I have to take that back and get something less flashy...

so, now I am sporting a blister... who'd a thunk that using spray cans could give you a blister!

Time to go to bed so I can get up and do some more stripping!
