'Spaint
house (interior) paint packaged with same-color spackle | |
I've been thinking about this one for a long time, but I'm not sure how economical it really is, or the best way to package it.
I'm thinking, a regular can of paint (what are they, a gallon or so?) with a threaded bottom. Screwed onto the bottom is a sort of continuation of the can, about 2" high,
filled with spackle that is the exact color match to the paint. This way, if you paint your drywall and a couple months down the line somebody puts a nail or their fist through the wall mistakenly, you can just spackle over the hole without repainting. (If you live in or have lived in a frat house, you know this happens all the time... at least, it did in mine)
Yes, there's probably some logistics problems, but i'll let you guys nit-pick the hell out of those.
p.s. Each can of 'spaint comes with a free spackle-knife thingy strapped to the top of it.

Outside of a frat house, I would wager this doesn't happen very often. |

[waugs] - don't make that bet. It happens. Seems like at least a third of humans can't be convinced that a quarter-inch long screw-hook won't hold a 40"x60" painting. |

The solution I've seen to this in home decorating books is to mix the wall paint with the spackling. Worked fine the one time I tried it, but that was an age ago. |

"paintackle" [blissmiss]? how could you miss the obvious commercial applications of a name like 'spaint? ('spaint being a conjunction of "it's paint", as well as spackle and paint) |

father: " Pain..tackle.." |

This is good. Make it a whole kit by including (or having available) a proper color undercoat, or primer, for those colors that don't cover well. Looks like at least one of your good ideas wasn't taken by someone else. |
