I have just finished repainting the exterior woodwork on my house. I'm

When I do this sort of work, I usally seek advice from my neighbour, a
retired man who is a fount of useful advice on all things practical.
This time, he tells me that I have put the paint on upside down ... but
apparently it'll be okay if I do another coat.

I don't mind doing another coat, but I don't want to make this mistake
again. How do I know whether I'm painting the right way up?


Are you sure it's upside down and not back-to-front?

Or inside-out ?

Don't ask the poster, ask his neighbour.

Perhaps all this confusion will put him off asking advice. He should come
here first and cut out the middle man.
