80 degrees and sitting on the deck, enjoying a beer or two.

oh, yesterday it was *gasp* 61! And we enjoyed a beer by the fire outside. I worked on my boat some, and had to put on sunscreen.

Today: high 43F, reached at 8am, now it’s 42. Rain on and off all day.

I said to a coworker, “April is like an abusive girlfriend.” In New England, it really is. 63 one day with sun, 36 and snowing the next.

Same here, a couple of weeks ago it was in the 70s, then back to back snowstorms, each with over 10” at our place.

I’m thoroughly enjoying these few 80 degree days we have strung together.

Spent the afternoon playing with acetone. 3/4 of that time the outcome didn’t look like it was going to be desirable .

Turns out the combination of extra tough M agic E raser and 100% acetone make job A easy, removal, while increasingly adding time and complexity to job B, cleanup and finishing. Happily removal of white stains eventually gave way to a clean surface.

What were you trying to clean? Acetone is highly effective, I always keep a gallon around. When my wife buys some new bowl or something for the kitchen and can’t get the sticker off, I’m like, ‘gimme that for 30 seconds’ lol

High grade paint on a hard anodized surface. After mixed results on a test spot, I decided to try avoiding sitting there for 45 minutes (in reality it c ould’ve been weeks) with sub- optimal results. Must have undergone an industrial process or two after paint application to be on there that good.
