New labels arrived from Germany... Long story. Ordered matching labels for lip balm after cleaning another 135g of beeswax from burr comb.

Mr. Rob, what are the details on the insulation of your shop walls and ceiling?

Oh, it's just 1" foil backed foam insulation. It was put up before the metal exterior

As a Contractor, I sort of consider myself kind of a paint snob. I've dealt with most brands of paints, and I'm at the point where I will only use a few of them. For raw wood, and especially for wood that will be outdoors, I use Zinsser 123 primer, or Sherwin Williams primer for Wood. For paint, if it's critical to be the very best, then Sherwin Williams Emerald paint is by far the very best paint that you can buy. For most things, including the Hardie Siding on my house, I like Valspar Duramax. For the money, I haven't found anything that compares to Duramax.

I've always used the same paint... Always had great results. I've yet to repaint anything the past 10 years.

I'll look into Valspar though, it's much less costly than Glidden

That's pretty much what I use as well, though Sherwin-Williams has so many grades of paint, and pricing to match, finding the right paint can be a search. Have you ever tried the SW "Self cleaning" Emerald Rain Refresh paints?

All the best,

Peter

How do you fight the mites? Or don’t need to?
