Quick tips for keeping your credit card information secure. There are plenty of things you can do to lower your risk of credit card fraud. Shred your documents and/or opt for paperless billing. Thieves may go through your trash and piece together your identity with personal information.
You should use a primer whenever you paint over an unpainted surface, whether that surface is wood, metal, concrete or fiberboard. Primer is formulated with a strong binder that fills pores and improves paint adhesion.
Selecting the Right Primer. If your wood isn't seriously stained, use a high-quality latex primer or an oil-based primer. If you have wood that's stained or you're painting redwood or cedar, use a stain-blocking primer. If your paint is in very good condition, a primer may not be needed.
