inThe day a homeowner asked if drywall mud was organic fertilizer
Man, this really hits on how people just see containers and make wild guesses.

It's that same rush to get things done without really looking, and it happens way more than you'd expect.

I had three cans of Minwax water-based stuff sitting in my garage for a year before I tried it, convinced it couldn't be as tough. My big moment of truth was finally doing a table top, and not having my whole house smell like a chemical plant for days had me sold. I even bought an extra can because I was sure the first coat would be terrible, a real vote of no confidence from my old-school habits. Turns out the only thing I messed up was my own stubbornness.
