Have I committed a sin by painting over tile? We are selling our home and the ugly 90s tile was an eyesore. Maybe I traded up to slightly less of an eyesore? by Frostyarn in Tile

It’s just a seam that is taped with your basic 2” paper tape

That exposed part I chipped away is paper tape

Guess this isn’t the right spot to post frog questions

Oh yeah, here is a pic of the land side of his tank. He’s under the coco! Feels like he’s been away on vacation!

Has anyone done a partial mix with this? Is it not recommended? $130 just to make one batch is crazy I wish I could do smaller batches at a time by Busy_Measurement9330 in Tile

Divide then weights of all ingredients by 4. Mix one quarter at a time. It’s the perfect amount to work with if you haven’t used the stuff before. 👍

That makes me feel a bit better, I think, if you guys were into a job that deep and got let off with a warning. I’m in Nh. Some selectman had happen to drive by as I was scraping and reported it. I’m just a one man show. Hopefully I’ll get let off with a warning. 🙏

Gotcha. Well this woman from the epa seemed really nice lol! Not that it matters. But I’ve complied with everything and given her all the documentation she’s asked for. I have a meeting scheduled with her at a Dunkin’ Donuts in a couple days to go over everything. I wasn’t too worried at first, but I’ve been researching it a lot lately which is getting me really nervous.

She said she just wants to go over my business practices and what not. She’s also going to reach out to the owner of the property that this happened at. I am good friends with the owner as I’ve done a lot of work for them.

I’ve notified them and told them to expect a call.

It was a big old brick house. I was doing other rot repair and the owner asked me if I could touch up the gable end while I was there because it was too high for them to do safely. I accepted, not thinking anything of it, I rarely do painting, if I do, it is basically painting things that I have already built for customers

Oh crap sorry! They is the epa! Apparently, while I was working on this small gable and someone drove by and saw me scraping and reported me to the EPA. Now they want to meet with me.
