I just read it quickly and saw you going to the beach, putting salt on rocks! ha ha My misunderstanding, not a problem with your English :) I have used salt for many things but like to use spritzes of water better - as the paint is drying, you spray with water the area (making sure you have a sprayer that sprays little dabs of water, not a fine mist).RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-40636203357362557222011-03-29T13:30:51.698-04:002011-03-29T13:30:51.698-04:00My english is too poor Rhonda, i can understand wh...My english is too poor Rhonda, i can understand why you never heard about salt being used "my" way.
