Gas emerging from a refinery is sold at what is known as the ârack price.â The rack price is the cost of gas to dealers, and it is generally influenced by the spot and futures market. The rack price is also where branded gas begins to exert a price premium.
Scraping. The easiest way to remove old paint, if it is already loosened, peeling or chipped, is with a putty knife, plastic scraper or an oscillating tool with rigid scraper blade. Simply work the flat edge of the tool across the surface of the wall to remove loosened pieces of paint.imply scraping will remove the majority of loosened paint; small areas can be taken care of with fine-grit sandpaper fitted to a rotary or oscillating tool. Use only the flat edge of the scraper, or you could gouge the surface; if you do, fill in the damaged areas with joint compound.
Apply the Base Color. Determine the width and direction of the stripes, keeping them in proportion to the room. Narrow stripes in a large room get lost and wide stripes in a small room look out of proportion. By alternating between flat and semi-gloss paints, you can create a dramatic look. Painting the base color 24 to 48 hours before striping will allow the flat paint to cure. Once dry, you can decide the width of your stripes, keeping them 4 to 12 inches apart.
