Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do about peeling and how do I avoid it?

SOS Painting
Slick, glossy or non-porous surfaces - Prepare the surface to give it more 'tooth' (a rougher surface profile), so the paint will adhere better. This can be done by sanding, using a surface conditioner like Paso, or using a primer designed for slick surfaces. Dirty, greasy or grimy surfaces - Clean the surface with a suitable cleaner (like a TSP solution). Be sure to thoroughly rinse afterwards, and let the surface dry before painting.

What causes peeling?

Peeling is the final result when a paint film loses its adhesion to the substrate. Peeling may occur between coats of paint (intercoat failure), or all the paint coats may peel from the underlying substrate (total film failure).

My deck is peeling - why?

There is only one reason why a penetrating stain would peel - something has occurred to prevent it from penetrating properly at the time of application, causing it to dry on the surface. Things that can cause the stain to not penetrate properly are many, but here are a few of the most common causes: Poor ventilation under deck (too low to ground, too close to water, etc.) If the deck is too close to the ground, the wood will absorb moisture from the ground from the underside.

My paint is peeling what can I do?

Norm Potter - F.A.Q.
Unfortunately aside from stripping, priming and repainting there is very little that can be done once paint starts peeling. Once paint begins to peel it will continue, even if you get a good paint job over top, the old surface underneath will continue to peel causing the new paint to peel off as well.

Never respond to unsolicited email. To those who send spam, one response or "hit" from thousands of emails is enough to justify the practice. Additionally, it validates your email address as active, which makes it more valuable, and therefore opens the door to more spam. Never send your personal information (credit card numbers, passwords, etc.) in an email. Spammers can fake the format of Yahoo! and other trusted sites.

What is autoconnection and how do I avoid it?

Wardriving FAQ by Jeff Duntemann (Wireless LAN Security & Wa...
You don't always have to do anything deliberately to connect (illegally) to someone else's network. Some client adapters are more "promiscuous" than others and will hook up with any non-WEP AP that comes into range, given enough time to perform a DHCP transaction.

Why is my Tattoo Peeling and Flaking Off?

Tattoo Nation
Peeling and flaking of a new tattoo is perfectly normal. Before it actually begins to peel, the tattoo will look like it's covered with a whitish, cracking film. Then you'll see white or translucent flakes of old, dead skin start to peel off and some of the flakes may even contain some ink. Sometimes you can actually see a duplicate image of part of your tattoo peeling off - it's rather disconcerting, but it is also perfectly normal and there is no need to panic.
