Recognize Limitations of Solutions

Colombia paint and Columbia Chemist. It's a condition that really there's no resolution. Eventually with Sherwin Williams chemist, I worked with them. We came up with a solution using a fast dry oil primer. But like any wax, like a candle, you can't paint a candle. Nothing will ever stick to a candle. Like nothing will stick to silicone. So, the Fastright oil primer, what we noticed doing a cross-hatch test, it would stick, you know, um, for the first week, but we'd go back like 3 months later and the paraffin wax would actually break down the fast dry oil primer. And it's just a temporary quick solution that does not solve the problem. You might see some houses that are splotchy on the sides. The dark spots are where the paraffin wax is working to the top and causing the paint to get darker. So you can see this whole side, this is the heavy sun side. So this gets the heat and the heat is causing it to rise. The darker the colors, the um the worse the problem is. So one of the things painting it with lighter color so it doesn't heat up as much is going to like help you um you know with the situation. But look at that. What I noticed I've actually painted houses quite a few of the houses. What you do is you just tell the customer, um, this has been like this for years and years and years. It's not going to just literally fall off on the ground. It's not going to fall off if you pressure wash it. If you get too close with a pressure washer, you can get underneath it and start lifting it up. So, this is a perfect example is if I pick at it, if I want to make it peel, I can make it peel. But if if this if I didn't start peeling at it, it wouldn't have just fallen off. So that's what I tell customers when I paint their house is whatever you do just, you know, don't put tape on the house. Like put Halloween decorations, Christmas decorations with tape cuz you go to peel the tape off, it's actually going to pull the paint off with it. So it's a condition. It's a very common condition. Um it's been around, you know, for over 20 years here in um the Treasure Valley.
