Doing the 2nd coat of Minwax Polyshades "Honey Pine" I discovered there was *lots* of dark dark sooty stuff in the can. Looks like a batch mixup to me.
The liquid in the can of Klean-Strip Mineral Spirits was clear. That in the bigger plastic tote bottle of Klean-Strip Mineral Spirits is milky. It seems to be cleaning the brush off fine though.
I'm not sure if I can use the dark polyurethane to cover some blank floor spots (that were missed a while back NOT by me)
FYI the General Coatings* enamel paint says "ready to use, no thinning needed" but it needed it.
I think that's the brand. The paint is covering a lot of the label.
I did read the directions. It didn't say to stir it. Nor did the book that I have. I tried the stirred up stuff on a test board. It's tolerable. I guess I wanted no-stain polyurethant
Maybe it's all those cryptic one-off blog post titles. I read them but I don't blog myself.
Also I realize I've gotten into the habit with some correspondents of using really vague e-mail Subject headers, for reasons that are too long to go into here.
I tried the stained poly myself once. It was ok but I didn't use it again. I prefer to control my stain coat to get the desired results and then seal with clear.
I manage the mail server at my $dayjob, so I get to see the full headers of all the direct-to-mx spam that our domain gets before it's forwarded through Gmail to be filtered and forwarded back to us (a neat little spam-filtering trick).
I see lots of spam mail that has subjects like "Important" or "Please read" or "Question", and I just shake my head when people use those same words and phrases for legit e-mail.
I notice you have taken to task a writer about whether or not a post is on topic, is spelled correctly, or is correct in some other minute detail.
I would like to inform you that the post of Netnanny is already filled. It is held by Newton Fillmore, of Pacoima, California, although Mr. Fillmore is currently in a coma in a facility in Riverside, and has been for three years, eight months now. We just could not bring ourselves to demote him without a proper hearing and him being present.
Please be advised that there are currently over 500 applicants and wannabes for the position. That does not include people like yourself who have broken with protocol and currently act like they are in the cherished position.
If and when and if ever the post becomes available, you will be required to write an essay of no longer than 1500 words, single spaced, using the words there, they're, their, your, you're, and any others you can come up with in as many incorrect grammatical situations as possible.
You must also describe the difference between "lose" and "loose" in 25 words or less.
You must also include the reason that you think entitles you the lifelong right to hold this post, and review the rest of humanity on its daily heretofore unobserved unsupervised act of Usenet Posting.

It's not a lost art. Most obscure subject headings are designed that way. Partly to excite the curiosity of the reader but mostly to cause the heads of pedantic fuddy-duddies to explode.
