My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Question about surface conditioners

14 years ago

I've been priming glass with a surface conditioner before painting on it. The bottle lists isopropyl alcohol as the only ingredient. If that's all it is, I'm sure I can buy isopropyl alcohol a lot cheaper from the pharmacy. Does anyone know if there's another ingredient they're not mentioning?

Thanks!

Susan
