Penofin Performance Oil Finish - WHAT A MESS

Mon, 13 May 2013 12:33:00 -0400

As you can see from the attached images our deck had gone completely black. When we purchased our home in 2008, the deck was already black and I was curious as to why the Brazilian hardwood that was so carefully installed had turned black. This year, after complaining about it I finally was able to get to the bottom of it when a builder friend of mine mentioned that it was directly due to the Penofin that had been applied to the wood from 2003-2008 (the previous owner was told it was the best stuff for this type of hardwood).

Subsequent to this comment, I searched and found tons of people who have had the same experience… so we are not alone.

We decided to rid ourselves of this horrible oily black product and reached out to Benjamin Moore for help. We found that using their Remove product (full strength) and then applying the brightner/neutralizer we could start to get our deck back to what it should have been in the first place.

After buying 4 gallons of remove and a gallon of brightner/neutralizer and spending an entire day (I figure on the low end we spent $200 on material and another $2,000 on labor) just to get the deck ready for a stain/sealer that still needs to applied.

Manage addresses in the Previous Recipients list

When you send messages, Mail stores your recipients’ email addresses in the Previous Recipients list. When you want to send new messages to those email addresses, just type a few letters in an address field, and Mail automatically fills in the rest.

Choose Window > Previous Recipients.
In the Previous Recipients window, do any of the following:

To sort the list by name, email address, or the date the address was last used, click a column header.
To search for a name in the list, enter the name in the search field.
To view the card for a recipient who is already in Contacts (a card icon precedes the recipient’s name), double-click the name. Contacts opens and displays the card.
To add one or more selected recipients to Contacts, click “Add to Contacts.”
To remove one or more selected recipients from the list, click Remove From List.
Removing the recipient is useful if you don’t intend to use the address again or if you previously mistyped an address and want Mail to stop suggesting it as a matching address.

To select addresses that are next to each other in the list, hold down the Shift key as you click the first and last addresses. To select addresses that are not next to each other in the list, hold down the Command key as you click each address.

You can remove a recipient from the Previous Recipients list while reading a message you received or writing a message. Click the arrow in a Smart Address and choose “Remove from Previous Recipients List” from the pop-up menu.

If you use iCloud Contacts, your Previous Recipients list is available on your other Mac computers that use iCloud Contacts and have OS X Mountain Lion installed.
