I removed cedar tongue and groove from my living room and plastered the million holes. The walls have an oil base paint on them that is about 20 years old and is damaged by smoke from a wood furnace. Should I use an oil based primer to cover the smoke (I washed it, it won't come off), or should I use a water base primer.

I want to do some designs on my plain birch doors (interior) using different color stains...how do I do this without the colors bleeding. Someone suggested a paint for the other color on top of the stain. In this case, what type of paint should I use? and then someone also said to use vinyl for the designs with contact cement to hold them to the doors and then verithaning the entire door. what is the best method for doing my designs? |

I have a 30x40 photo on canvas that I want to stretch and put in a wood frame that is only 7/16" deep. Can I use this frame or is it too shallow given the best option for stretcher bars? I've never stretched canvas before and have a show where I need to do 25 of these! Koren |
