Of course my brother said it was left over from when someone put a gun in their mouth. I didn’t believe that. But I do remember my mother complaining that whenever she would paint over the spot it would seep through. She could never get rid of the spot."<br /><br />Real blood doesn't stay red -- it turns dark brown. <br /><br />The seeping behavior supports the theory that it was paint -- this is a well-known property of red paint, and the reason one paints red areas last. The normal procedure is to cover the spot with a coat of shellac (e.g., Kilz brand), then a coat of whatever color you need to match the rest of the surface.Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162405441896508850noreply@blogger.com
