Advice on painting basement with oil-based paint
I'm planning on painting a previously painted (almost 80 y.o.) basement
floor with oil-based floor/concrete paint. I've used latex for all my main floor walls, ceilings, etc. -- so I don't have much experience with oil-based paints. * Do I need to turn off the pilot lights (for an extended period) on my gas water heater and furnace -- or will opening the windows be enough ventilation (if painted in the spring)? * Is the gloss surface going to be a safety concern (slipping)? Use of the basement is mainly for laundry, workbench, storage, etc -- no "living" areas. Thanks in advance for any help / advice. Mike |
