| 2). Painting |
| |
- For an opaque finish, you can choose conventional enamels.
- Apply wood primer by brush after thinning to a given ratio by recommended thinner. Allow it to dry for 6-8 hours then apply putty or Lambi.
- Sand the applied putty with no. 180 sandpaper & apply second coat of wood primer.
- Now the wooden surface is ready for painting with the top coat.
- Enamels are normally applied by brushing, yet they can also be sprayed.
- The drying time of enamels is longer; hence care must be taken to ensure a dust free environment while the paint film is drying.
- Two coats of paint is sufficient in most cases. However, if the earlier paint shade was significantly darker than the new shade, an additional coat of paint is recommended.
