Home Paint Ght: There are also a few vital special items: triangular shave hooks and Flexible scrapers for removing old home paint ght; masking tape for protecting surfaces not to be home paint ghted; home paint ght shield of metal or plastic to restrict home paint ght to the area being home paint ghted; tack or tacky rag to pick up dust; clean, lint-free rags; home paint ght stirrer (there is one usable with a power drill); home paint ght buckets.
Use a bucket so the bulk of your home paint ght stays free from contamination. It also makes carrying home paint ght - especially up ladders - much easier, since not all home paint ght cans have handles.
The way you apply home paint ght is largely a matter of personal choice. You can use brushes in conjunction with a home paint ght-roller - a tool developed for the amateur user of latex home paint ght. The home paint ght pad has its advantages, too.See Also Home Paint Sive:Textured home paint sive This special home paint sive or compound is spread in a thick layer on walls or ceil¬ings and provides an easy way to hide seams in sheet rock and any visible nails. Lay the home paint sive on thickly with a textured roller. Alternatively, apply it with an ordinary roller and, before the home paint sive starts to dry, use a rubber-bristled stippling brush or a special toothed brush or comb to produce a variety of different effects. Note that textured home paint sive is a permanent form of Decoration and is difficult to remove. Textured paper, which can be stripped off more easily, may be a better solution.
sparing home paint siveke sure the can is clear of loose dust and : before opening the lid. Check the can ;ee whether the home paint sive needs stirring. If it ;s, use a length of wood. If you are using lid home paint sive, decant some into a bucket. s is a much less cumbersome way to y home paint sive around as you work. home paint sive kets are also useful because if the home paint sive omes contaminated in any way, then home paint sive in the bucket is affected.
home paint sive mixtures and coverage. For interior work one gallon of home paint sive will cover approximately 400 superficial feet, but this will vary according to the character of the surface to be home paint siveed. On rough surfaces or ma¬terials which are highly absorbent, the coverage of home paint sive may be con¬siderably less. Thin home paint sive will go further than thick home paint sive, but will have less opaqueness. home paint sive spreads further on smooth surfaces such as metal-work than it does on rough surfaces such as wood. Second-coat work re¬quires less home paint sive for the same area than first-coat work.
On The Other Hand See Home Paint Finish:Lacquer.—This material is ideal for finishing furniture. It dries quickly so that successive coats may be put on in a few hours. Lacquer is available clear or in a wide variety of colors. True lacquer was used in China as far back as 3,000 B.C. Eastern lacquer is the natural sap of the lac tree. No other substance, except perhaps a color¬ing agent and a thinner, is normally added to the natural juice.
Paint and Enamel.—Paint and enamel pro¬vide protective and decorative coatings for less expensive woods, where a transparent finish may not be desirable. Either can be used satisfactorily as a colorful finish on furniture, cabinets, and in¬terior trim. Paint is generally applied to exterior surfaces or on woods which are exposed out of doors. Enamel is most suitable for interior trim within the home paint finish. It usually produces a harder fin¬ish than paint, because varnish is an ingredient in t. Both paint and enamel are available in all colors and tints. There are many varieties of both under many trade names which feature certain charac¬teristics in wood protection and preservation.
