Sea stars are integral members of marine ecosystems, although they compete directly with commercial and recreational fishermen. 1  One sea star can devour over 50 young clams in a week. 2  When their population grows, sea stars can consume entire beds of shellfish.
1 Turpentine or mineral spirits are the primary agents to use when it comes to thinning oil-based paints. 2  Evaluate how much paint was placed in the container, and add the turpentine in a ratio of approximately 3 parts paint to 1 part thinner.
When prepping the surface with gesso, it is important to use a large brush or paint roller for larger surfaces, such as the ones you can find at the hardware store. Using a larger tool to cover more surface area at once helps achieve a smooth surface to apply the oil paint.his means that âleanâ paint must be applied in the under layers of the painting, and after each layer, the paint can get âfatterâ and âfatterâ. Lean paint has more turpentine thinner and less oil medium mixed in it, and fatter paint has less turpentine thinner and more oil medium.
