Our industry is blessed with a number of extremely talented designers. But when it comes to honest to goodness design “rock stars” (with all the trash-your-hotel-room, follow-your-weirdest-obsession swagger that phrase implies), you’re squarely in Sagmeister & Walsh territory. So when the nonprofit Society of Design wanted to approach them to be guest speakers at their conference, they “felt the need to do something unexpected,” admits Craig Welsh, principal/creative director of design firm Go Welsh and co-founder of the Society.

Known as design risk takers themselves, Craig figured the pair would appreciate an unconventional approach, so he sent them an invitation they could not ignore…letterpress printed on 14 feet of paper towels.

More accurately, the message was printed with hand-applied pressure using wood type on the floor of the print shop, says Craig. “It feels appropriately positioned as something sent to Sagmeister & Walsh.” As for the print itself, “the dimpling of the printing against the patterning of the paper towels” made for a particularly arresting effect.

Not surprisingly, things didn’t go exactly as planned.

“Once the printing was completed the paper towels returned to their original state as a roll…and were shipped in a box,” Craig explains. “However, we were having LOTS of trouble with the ink drying (we used rubber-based ink) and, rather than waiting days for it to dry, we moved forward anyway.

“So when we packed the roll of paper towels in the box we also included two pairs of yellow rubber gloves and a warning note to wear the gloves before handling the contents of the box.” This detail wasn’t only a practical one, the designer contends, but also “the gloves and note made the shipment more interesting.”

As you would expect of a design duo famous for mailing nude postcards of themselves to announce their partnership, Sagmeister & Walsh showed themselves admirers of this unusual gesture. At least the former did; Stefan Sagmeister spoke to a sold-out, 350+ crowd at the Society of Design’s event that year.

Replastering a swimming pool here in the Grand Canyon state is certainly not a five-minute job. This doesn’t mean that you have to spend money on hiring a professional to do the job. If you are willing to put some time and effort into the project, it is certainly possible to do it yourself. The average swimming pool will require replastering every 7 to 12 years, depending on the method of installation, and how it has been maintained. Don’t want to read this article, then listen to highlights how to plaster an old pool in 5 important steps. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_ZToeIOgA2sT0xOckJSanNxTDA/view?usp=sharing

First for the tools and materials needed for the project. You will need the mix for pool plaster, acid wash, paint, soda ash, compressor for air, face mask, cleaning solution, finishing plaster mix, chisel, goggles, sump pump for submerging the pool, mixture for cement or mortar, air hammer, normal hammer, yard brush, sander, putty knife, brush for acid, buckets, hose, rubber gloves, wheel barrow, shovel, paintbrush and sponge. Here are the 5 steps to plaster your old pool.

1. Drain the swimming pool, and use the sump pump to drain all the water remaining at the bottom of the pool. Clean the pool of all dirt and debris. Use the sponge and cleaning solution for this purpose. Make sure you use an environmentally friendly cleaning solution for this purpose.

2. Identify the problematic areas where plaster has peeled off significantly. Pay attention to the edges and corners of the pool. Take away the loose plaster with the chisel and putty knife. Sand the sharp edges where plaster has been taken off. Make sure you sand the areas at least twice to make the areas clean and neat for easy replastering.

3. Spray an acid wash over the surface. Use the acid brush to spread it effectively. It will help give you a new surface that is conducive to applying new plaster. Rinse away the acid wash by using a hose. Now allow the surface enough time to dry. Once it is completely dry, apply a bond coat for replastering with the use of a roller. Let it dry overnight.

4. Prepare the plaster according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Now apply the plaster using a street trowel. Start at the deepest end of the pool. You should make sure that the plaster applied is at least 3/8 inches thick. Make sure the plaster is evenly applied on all areas. Now let the plaster dry completely. Mix the plaster finish, and apply it evenly at a thickness of 1/4 inches. You may use the trowel this time round too. Check for any flaws and correct them before letting the pool dry completely.

5. The final step is to apply the pool paint to cover the entire surface evenly. Using the paint brush in one direction will offer a smooth finish to the job. Do not use the pool until the paint is completely dry.
