5 things we have learnt about painting window frames

1. Preparation always takes longer than you expect or want.
2. The blades on the paint scrapers are reversible (each side is a sharp blade, so when one side gets blunt, you just have to take it out and put the opposite side facing outward - not pay $10 for a new blade).
3. A heat gun makes the job a lot quicker - not necessarily 'quick', 5-6 layers of paint still takes a while to scrape off.
4. I quite like re-puttying.
5. Peter will never again wear his good jumper when using liquid nails!
