Paint chips

So yesterday I had a fairly busy day of setting up speaking engagements (I call them gigs) at schools and in other groups. When I got off from work I rushed to the church while P.J. was at the doctor getting a good report on her ear infections. I got started painting the entranceway to the church using a two part epoxy with paint chips. I had not intended to use the paint chips but they cover up more of the scars and bad spots on the concrete so I decided to use them. Well, it was a learning experience for sure.
The way it works you roll paint onto the surface in a small 3 foot by 3 foot area and then drop the paint chips on. If you throw them up in the air and allow them to spread themselves it turns out better, but it was breezy at the church so that didn't work each time. If you just sprinkle them on there more directly the coverage is more and they get too close together almost in piles. Well, the guy at Home Depot told me if you get too much in an area to sweep over it after the paint is dry and most of them will come right off, Wrong! So there are patches of heavy chippage(if that is a word) and areas of light chippage(Okay I used it twice, it's a word now). So next time you are up at the church, keep your eyes up and focus on the door and the entrance, not the ground please.
Then, I got done there around 6pm, and rushed home to get to work on the race car. We had the gears changed for some 1/8 mile racing this year. We just had to put it back together so we got it mostly back together and decided to try and raise the ride heigth somewhat. This turned out to be a project rather than a quick swap so we added another night's work for tonight.
So that's my Monday, I hope your day's endeavors were more profitable than mine.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
