Mint Varieties. I have become a Mint connoisseur, which I enjoy growing. Here is a comprehensive mint variety list, comparison and review of a great number of mint varieties. Each mint will have a description of the mint plant as well as scores on several properties of the mint.
Waterborne Acrylic Paints. Waterborne acrylic coatings, (also known as acrylic latex coatings) are more environmentally, as well as user-friendly alternatives to solvent-based paints e.g. alkyds. The following is a list of benefits and advantages to using waterborne acrylic coatings for both residential and industrial applications. 1  Lower volatile organic content (VOC), resulting in less impact on the environment. 2  Low odor. 3  Quick dry times facilitating the application of a second coat.  Excellent durability.
Definition: A type of paint made with synthetic resin as the medium (liquid) to bind the pigment (color), rather than natural oils such as linseed used in oil paints. It has the advantage of drying faster than oil paint and being water soluble. The first acrylics were produced in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany, with acrylic paints specifically produced for fine artists emerging in the 1950s. One of the first big name artists to use acrylics was David Hockney.
