Paint and Coatings Basics 101

Learn the basics of exterior paint and coatings, both traditional and modern, before approaching your next big paint project. Led by experts from Sherwin-Williams and South Bend TradeWorks, the presentation will cover preparation, repairs, priming, coatings (including differences between oil, latex, and linseed oil paints), and best practices for achieving a long-lasting paint job on your historic property.

Participants can choose between two workshop times: July 2 at 12:00 p.m. EDT or July 2 at 6:00 p.m. EDT. The workshop lasts approximately 1.5 hours.

St. Joseph County Public Library Community Learning Center is an accessible venue. Questions? Contact bm9ydGggfCBpbmRpYW5hbGFuZG1hcmtzICEgb3Jn.
