CHARLYNN TOEWS How to paint OU 'WILL need some paint and a brush. The brush is optional. You y • should first thoroughly clean and then lightly sand the surface to be painted, if you feel like it. The truth about how to paint is about to be told. For example, you don't absolutely have to first clean the surface with TSP to remove all traces of grease wax dust fingerprints jam life etc. These items take paint surprisingly well. The paint job may not last as long this way, but per- haps that's for the best. (See Choosing Colour below.) Usually I skip cleaning and go right to sand- ing. I would rather sand something than clean something any day. And some items of stuck, dried-on food that are a real pain to clean offare a breeze to sand off. I recommend heavy-grit sand paper for s'alsa. Talk about your sun-dried tomatoes! This works well, believe me. You are now ready to paint. Oh, you can first drape everything in sight and painstakingly lay down yards and yards of masking tape and even snap plumb vertical lines if you like. Sometimes I do this. Sometimes I just use a smaller brush instead. For example, did you know it is very efficient to paint the inside of your kitchen cabinets with A fine day for dip in the lake the dishes still inside them?
