Tips and advice for those who suffer from low back pain at work

Hi all,

My name's Daniel and I'm a Painter and Decorator in London. I also suffer from chronic low back pain which I have to manage in various ways, mainly by keeping active through swimming, yoga, walking and stretching.

Chronic back pain doesn't just affect you physically, it also has an affect on your relationships, moods, emotions, personality and lifestyle. So I've set up a website that looks at all of these effects and details ways you can manage your pain without it becoming a hindrance to your quality of life.

Take a look and let me know what you think. So far there are articles on swimming, anger, insomnia amongst others. I'm in the process of writing ones on yoga and massage and will update it regularly with new articles.

Hope it can help you!

Cheers,

Dan

Prime before Caulk? Or After

Greetings Fellow Painters:
I have been painting professionally, off and on, since 1974. Out of those 42 years I have about 20 years experience as a full time painter. I ran into a situation in Cleveland where this Painting Contractor caulks bare quarter round to the base PRIOR to priming with an oil based primer. He claims that the bare wood is more porous and therefore will absorbed the caulk better than it would when priming first and then caulking. This is the first time I have ever heard of this and was wondering if anyone else has ever heard of this method and logic. I was always taught to prime bare/new wood with an oil based primer first THEN sand with 220, THEN caulk. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith
