STRANGELY ENOUGH, there are people in this
world who do like to paint.

While the majority of us like the end result and
glory in the new life of a freshly painted room, the
actual process of painting can be tiring, messy and
frustrating. In this column a few hints will be offered
that will make painting easier, quicker and far less
frustrating.

Latex paint is by far the easiest to use. It goes on
with little effort, is relatively odor-free and, best of
all, the brushes, rollers and you yourself can be
cleaned up with soap and water.

While these paints will not last as long as the oil-
based paints in difficult areas (kitchen, bathroom),
their ease of application makes them one of the most
popular wall coatings.

Oil-based paints are used in areas where they will be
exposed to hard use (many washings, moisture or
greasc). They are also the most popular for outdoor

use, where they will be exposed to the elements.

Although modern science has come a long way in
removing some of the strong odor associated with
oil-based paints, they stil! are considerably stronger
than latex paints and very objectionable to some peo-
ple.

Alkyd paint, a relatively modern development, is
tow in odor but requires a solvent for cleanup. It also
works well in heavy-use areas.

Have adequate drop sheets on hand. Old sheets are
excellent as are old shower curtains.

Remove all portable furniture from the room and
move the heavy furniture to one end of the room,
cover with polyethylene and move to the other end
when painting is completed in that area,

Use proper ladders and sturdy chairs to stand on.
Allow yourself adequate time to do the job. People
who are in a hurry are the ones who end up getting
hurt.
