I was reading the post on how to remove silicon from a finish & it brought back memories of my grandmother, who loved Simoniz. My grandfather was going to paint the kitchen & as he painted, the paint just rolled off the walls, she had simonized the walls!:eek: He was fit to be tied.:mad: Don't remember the resolution, I cleared out of there fast!

Kind of reminds me of my mom, who painted a brick fireplace. It was used brick and had some black ones, which she hated. She was an amateur artist, and mixed paint special for each brick. Whenever dad left for a while she painted a couple brick, until, over time, the floor to ceiling fireplace was painted to look like....used brick, but no black ones. I honestly don't know if dad knew what she had done, but it was never mentioned by any of us 'till after they died.

Our house now, and we cannot remove the mantel, because she didn't paint behind it. Memories.
