CULTURAL INSIGHTS ABOUT CONSTRUCTION

[costaricabuilder]

A FEW CULTURAL INSIGHTS ABOUT LATINO CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS:
1. A common Latino standard is that paint is a concentrate and should be diluted to create more paint. Wrong. The dilutants, "diluyentes" including a product known as "agua res", which consists of nasty chemicals that turn white paint yellow as well as dilute the quality of the paint, should be avoided.
2. Another typical standard is that if you will not see a primer product then why purchase the more expensive, higher quality product. Therefore the primer, "sellador" should be the cheapest product available. Wrong. The cheaper paint is manufactured to lower standards, is not as thick and will not adhere as well or last as long.
