Woodworking Projects - Using Paint As a Finishing
In planning any woodcraft project, the most important thing you want to outline is how you are going to finish coat it, when it's done. The woodwork finish will help outline the type of wood choice to be used. You wouldn't need to use an exotic wood with a stunning grains, and then conceal it with paint. Most wookworkers would think thats illegal. You also wouldn't need to use a common spruce for a project that you intend to stain.
There are several options available to you if you decide to paint your project; oil based paints, Latex paints and Milk paints. There have been a recent addition to these choices, Low and non VOC paints. For a long time oil based paint was the choice of most pro painters nevertheless, Latex seems now to be the more popular choice.
Milk paints are were envented a long time ago. The colors are sometimes used on many antiques. Not like oil or latex paints that come premixed, Milk paint is sold only in a powdered state. Using Milk paint is easy ; simply mix the powder with water. Mix only the amount you need as Milk Paint won't store. A new option for Milk paint is the pre-mixed paint from General Finishes. There's a top coat purchasable that will protect and deepens the finish.
Low and non VOC paints, are the newest entry to the paint area, as an answer to the desires for a green planet. VOC or Volatile Organic Compounds are part of the air pollution problem. Adding colors to some of the non VOC paints, adds VOC back to the paints, so be sure to check with the maker of the paint you select. The Low and non VOC paints and the Milk Paints are riskless to be used around youngsters, and people allergic to the latex or oil paints.
If you ask any pro painter, what's the most crucial thing about any painting project, and they will tell it's how to prepare the wood. To get a great finish on your project, be certain that you absolutely sand and clean the project. most pros sand a painted project to 200 Grit, not like a stained wood project, which I only sand to 180 grit sand paper . Too much sanding for a stain finish will cause the stain to sure on top of projects surface instead of soaking into the wood.
The next thing the professionals will tell youis to use a good primer. The old widely accepted idea was that primer should match the final coat, oil primer for oil paint. This thoughts are to use a good latex primer for all interior projects, and only use the oil primer for exterior jobs. Oil primer will stick on the wood deeper then the latex primer. Latex paint is the preferred top coat paint for both interior and exterior.
Let the primer dry fully and then sand it again. This will make things dusty, so it is usually recommended that you use a powerful vacuum to clean the surface before trying the final layer. One thing more, use a high quality brush. Save the cheap dump brushes for applying stain. There is no reason to spoil your work with a brush that comes apart while you are painting.
