Anyway, the screws are painted over so many times that they just look like little bumps in the wood, and they're rusted enough that I can't just nail them with an electric screwdriver, so my wierd tool to use is an eyeglass screwdriver. I didn't have a pick, or a regular screwdriver that was small enough to use as a pick to get the paint out of the drivers, so I ended up using one of those little turney-eyeglass screw drivers to sculpt out the paint. Worked pretty well- strong enough to get the paint, but not strong enough to bend or strip the screws themselves. ~smile~ Meredith Oh, and there's also smeared paint on the ceramic tiles- a foot pumice stone has been perfect for getting it off, not rough enough to scratch the ceramic though. :) Thu, 19 May 2005 17:13:36 GMT http://HandyGrrls.tribe.net/thread/080579c9-8021-4513-8906-e832e504b624#c1a862ce-3bcf-4129-96bd-57c338abe8ec Meredith 2005-05-19T17:13:36Z http://HandyGrrls.tribe.net/thread/080579c9-8021-4513-8906-e832e504b624#dcc928b1-0c0e-4d02-a9c8-1c7f06c426d2 < LOVE your smiley bag > Thanx, Adele!
