The correct use: furniture paint
Here you will find out how to use our furniture paint correctly.
You need:
- Furniture color
- possibly. Painter's tape to mask the surface not to be coated
- Paint roller, Brush or airless spray gun
- If necessary, a dilution (this can then also be used to clean the device.)
- Degreaser
Preparation
- The consumption of furniture paint is on average around 7-8 sqm/l. However, this information may vary if you use thinner or apply thicker layers.
- The wood moisture should not be more than 15%, the air humidity for processing and drying should be a maximum of 65%. The temperature for the environment, material and paint should be at least 10°C, temperatures between 15°C and 25°C are ideal.
- Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dirt, dust and grease. Then sand the surfaces to be painted. Do not use cleaners or scouring agents containing soap!
- Use painter's tape and masking paper to cover any areas that will not be painted. In particular, use painter's tape to achieve sharp lines.
- Stir the paint well before use.
Processing
- Spray, roll or brush the paint. Two to three coats are recommended. The first layer can be applied with a 5-10% thinner so that the paint is better absorbed into the substrate. Then follows at least one undiluted layer.
- The furniture paint is dust dry after about 3 hours. The product can be easily painted over after 12 hours. Full resistance can be expected after 7 days. Make sure the treated surface is protected from moisture and dust during the curing process; Also, do not apply too thick layers of varnish.
- Note: Layer thicknesses that are too thick and overcoating too early can have a significant impact on drying or, in case of doubt, even prevent it completely.
