Paint instructions now follow the example of herbicides and other regulated substances. The purpose of the instructions is to tell the user to only use an amount that would produce an acceptable result under existing regulations. So the instructions are no longer focused on the user obtaning a good result but rather compliance with the California evaporative emissions laws. Friends were doing their seasonal ritual coating their decks with linseed oil but not flooding as traditional. It turns out the instructions have been changed and they think putting the stuff on with an eyedropper is going to get a better result. When I explain, they blame my non-conformist advice on my political persuasion. Well, use common sense and assume Jane Fonda wrote the instructions.
