I love a project. And a sister named Martha who will sand, prime, and paint with me for hours!
We learned a big lesson with this project. Don't get oil-based primer on your body. -
We tried to use paint thinner to clean the brushes, FAIL - that just caused the primer to get all over our hands and the fumes made us lightheaded.
-
Forget the brushes [don't tell my dad we threw them away] we just needed to get that stuff off our hands!
-
Out comes the nail polish remover, but that wasn't going to cut it because all the rubbing and acetone was giving me a rash. So we asked Carolyn to google another way to get the primer off our hands. Two interesting suggestions 1. Mayo 2. Olive oil and salt. We chose #2, and it worked! Lots of laughs, but the result was much cleaner and smooth hands!
