    melamine prep for painting

    melamine prep for painting

    Kfainf.......do you think the bond will be strong enough to use blue tape as a stripping guide over the newly painted surface and after painting the strip, will it pull off the paint when removing the tape? Sorry for beating this question to death, I just don't want to screw this up.

    Security token missing?

    Security token missing?

    Ok guys, I'm trying to show my newly finished garage and I can't seem to get the photos to upload. I hit the upload button and it thinks for awhile and says it can't perform the operation because there seems to be a "Security token missing" So how do I fix this?
