curing

9 July 2011 by Andrea 8 Comments

If you’ve read about more than a couple of my projects, you’ve probably noticed that just about every project involves an important process that I lovingly refer to as “curing”.

What is curing, you may ask?

Perhaps some of you are familiar with this tried and true practice. It’s when you bring home a fabulous flea market or dumpster diving find and let it “cure” in your garage or basement for weeks, months, or possibly even years.

(OK, let’s be honest, it’s really a function of procrastination, but doesn’t curing sound so much better?)

Do you let projects “cure”? What was your longest curing time?  I’ll fess up…I’ve got a project in my garage that’s probably been there for 4 years.  Hopefully it’s almost fully cured. Never can tell.
