Product Review
Benjamin Moore “Advanced” – I decided to give my home a facelift with a fresh coat of trim paint. So I tried “Advanced”. In general I liked it, it was creamy and applied nicely. One thing to take into consideration when using this paint is the re-coat drying time is 16 hours, not 4 hours like other waterbased paints. For me this was not a problem, since I was just re-coating the same color trim and one coat is all I needed. Is it more durable then others? time will tell. One thing I did find odd was that I started with a quart and the consistency was great. I liked it so much I decided to buy a gallon, however the consistency was much thinner than the quart. I am not sure why. In the end all trim seemed to be the same.

Did You Know
Purple Dye – The first use of the color purple was as early as 1570 BC. It was so expensive to make that purple dyed textiles became a status symbols and laws restricted their use. It was expensive because it was made from a sea snail. The dye is a secretion from the gland of one of several predatory sea snails found in the Mediterranean Sea. The secretion is expelled when it is being attacked. The dye can be collected by either “milking” the snails or destructively crushing the snail. It took twelve thousand snails to yield no more than 1.4 gram of pure dye, enough to colour the trim of a single garment.”
