re: Don't do what I did

The simple of the foregoing is:

- Never choose a paint color for a customer.

- Never mix sheens (you’ll end up with a flat gloss, which comes nowhere close to satin, eggshell or semi-gloss).

- Follow use directions on products, like caulk. That is, use foam backer or other filler for large gaps and allow caulk to dry, before painting over it.
