In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Adding things like banners, labels, and centerpieces is not absolutely necessary, but it can really take your candy buffet to the next level. You do not have to use all of the suggestions in this section—instead, choose a few that appeal the most to you, and use them in inspiration! Don't overdo it, or your buffet will look cluttered. There should be enough space on your table so that your guests can reach for the candy without knocking anything over. You can use the same centerpiece that the rest of the tables have, or you can use a fancy cupcake stand, and fill it up with cupcakes (decorated to match your party's theme, of course). If your event has a cake, you could even use the cake as the centerpiece! If cupcakes aren't your thing, you could use some floral or candle arrangements instead. Keep in mind, however, that the bigger your favor boxes/bags are, the more candy you will need; people usually like to fill their favor boxes/bags most of the way. Another option would be to include some bulky items on your candy buffet table, such as large lollipops, cookies, or cupcakes; these items will fill up those large boxes/bags.  Choose paper, organza, or cellophane bags in colors that match your party's theme.  Choose mini take-out boxes, gift boxes, or favor tins in colors that match your party's theme. Write or print out the name for your candy (ie: Chocolate Kisses, Gumballs, Gummy Worms, etc) on pretty labels that match your party's theme. You can also write the labels on mini chalkboards, mini wooden pick signs, clothespins, etc. Choose something that works with your decor. Don't be afraid to get creative with your labels either; you can match them to the theme of your party. For example:  If your party's theme is Harry Potter, you can label red licorice as "Licorice Wands." Gold-foil Lindor chocolates could easily become "Golden Snitches." If your party's theme is pirates, you could call chocolate coins "Pirate's Booty" or "Pirate's Treasure." Seashell-shaped chocolates could be called "Mermaid's Favor." If you are having a Halloween party, you could call chocolate raisins "Beetle Eyes" or "Troll Boogers," and haystack cookies "Witch Hair." The walls are often a forgotten, but very important, part of a room's decor. If you want to draw the focus to your candy buffet, consider hanging a garland or banner on the wall behind the table. You could also hang up pictures or paper cut-outs instead. Whichever you choose, make sure that the colors and themes match the theme of your party.  A great example of a matching banner would be a poster that says "Honeydukes" for a Harry Potter themed party. Honeydukes was the name of a popular candy shop in the books. A great example of matching cut-outs would be paper snowflakes for a winter wonderland themed party. You would also hang long tinsel around the edge of the table to mimic icicles! Some colorful confetti scattered across the table can add color without taking up much spaces. You can also use small items, such as flower petals, rhinestones, strands of curled ribbon, or sequins. Whatever you end up using, make sure that it matches the theme of your party. For example, flower petals would work great for a wedding, while rhinestones would work well for a pirate themed party (to resemble treasure). Confetti comes in many different shapes and colors. Choose one that matches your party's theme. For example, blue and white snowflake confetti would work great for a winter wonderland themed party!
Summary: Consider taking things further with a few decorative touches. Tie it all in with a centerpiece. Add some favor boxes or bags so that your guests can take their candy home. Create some signs and labels for your candy. Hang a backdrop or banner on the wall behind your table. Add color to the table. Finished.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Fillet seal is a spreadable sealer that hardens when it dries. You'll want to fill in any cracks or dips on the wall with a fillet seal so you're tanking a flat, smooth surface. Let the fillet seal fully dry before you proceed with the tanking process. Lay down drop cloths adjacent to the wall to make cleanup easier and prevent the tanking mixture from dripping onto the floor. You should also move your furniture outside or to the center of the room and cover them with drop cloths or tarps. When the tanking mixture dries, it will be much harder to remove. Move a hand sander or sandblaster across the surface of the wall to remove the old paint, render, and plaster from the wall. Use a 150 grit sandpaper when working with a hand sander. Continue to sandblast or sand with the hand sander until the wall is smooth to the touch.  This will help the tank slurry better adhere to the wall and will help you in achieving a level coat of tanking mixture on the wall. Wear a face shield and gloves when using a mechanical sander on masonry or brick. Move the brush across the surface of the wall to remove any dust left over from sanding. Then, use a wet rag and wipe down the surface of the wall. You can move onto the next step while the wall is still wet. Purchase a salt neutralizer online or from a hardware store. A salt neutralizer is a clear solution that will neutralize salt in the render and masonry, which can destroy several types of wall finishes if it seeps into the material. Soak a paint brush in the neutralizer and apply it over the entire surface of your wall. As the wall dries, start mixing your tanking slurry.
Summary:
Repair any cracks or dips with a fillet seal. Lay drop cloths on the floor and over furniture. Sand the paint and old render off of the wall. Wash the wall down with a wire brush and water. Apply a salt neutralizer to the wall.
