TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If you're writing for people restoring antique cars, they might like a
slightly old fashioned slant to the writing. Just a passing thought.
Another question to ask is, how obvious is the post-hence instruction?
Can additional cans of paint be assumed? Personally, I prefer to spell
out as much as possible. But leaving it out is an option.
Does the post-hence instruction prompt for more information? If so, it
might need its own sentence.
â??For lighter colors, you will usually need more layers of paint,
generally an additional %40 over your expected quantity of paint cans.
For white or pale yellow, you might need as much as %50 more paint for a
consistent finish."
