What are the steps for painting? The way to paint?Decorating a wall can also be called painting, because you will do some preparatory work for it, and that is your work of heart.
1. Preliminary preparations.
The preparatory work is especially to protect the painted work area. for instance , paste separation paper to guard the joints of doors, window frames, furniture and paint.
Finished wooden cabinets, partitions and other furniture should be sealed with newspapers to stop the furniture from being stained by dripping paint.
2. Toning.
For walls with color requirements, the world should be accurately calculated in advance. so as not to make the color inconsistent everywhere, the specified ingredients must be evenly mixed at one time.
Then there's the primer. The primer can prevent the wall from reversing moisture, make the colour of the topcoat more uniform, and stop the wood from becoming sour and water-stained.
3. Roller coating construction.
The sequence of finishing paint construction: first the roof, then the lines, then the walls. The wall should be painted a minimum of twice. the primary paint can add 5% to 10% of water to facilitate the absorption of the wall. The second paint can't add water, and there's a certain interval from the first paint.
When rolling, you would like to use both thick and thin roller brushes at the same time. The thick roller brush goes first, and therefore the fine roller brush follows.
Use a rough roller to spread the paint evenly on the wall, then use a fine roller to repaint the place brushed by the coarse roller to make the wall paint delicate and brush out the desired pattern.
4. Brush construction.
Use a brush to the touch up the paint on the walls and corners where the roller construction leaks.
5. Polish the wall.
When the paint on the wall is dry, you'll sand the wall with sandpaper to reduce the brush marks on the wall and make the wall smoother. When sanding, concentrate to feel the smoothness of the wall with your hands from time to time to judge where you need to sand.
Note that when sanding, attempt to use finer sandpaper, generally softer putty (such as 821), use 400-500 sandpaper, and hard texture (such as wall lining, easy to flatten) use No. 360~400 better. After sanding, clean the wall thoroughly.
6. Cleaning and inspection.
Clean up the traces of paint on the foot lines and other places, and check whether the colour of the wall meets the design requirements, and whether the colour of the painted surface is consistent to prevent any quality defects such as penetration, missing brushing, peeling powder, blistering, etc. .
7.How long does it fancy move in after painting.
First of all, normally, it's generally recommended to ventilate the walls for at least seven days after painting the walls at home. After the volatilization of harmful substances within the decoration materials is constant, it's judged whether it is possible to move in, because after the walls are just painted, the wall coatings are large due to the large area.
The utilization of the paint will cause the harmful substances contained in the paint to release an outbreak period. The outbreak period is as short as.
7 days and as long as a month. then , it'll gradually stabilize. Under the condition of excellent ventilation effect, it'll basically take half a year to a year. Hazardous substances will evaporate.
Secondly, from the attitude of the odor of decoration, there could also be a large paint smell in a short time after painting the wall.
This is often because the formaldehyde content in modern paints may not be particularly high, but some unqualified paints will contain an outsized amount of benzene derivatives.
Volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), both of which are odorous. If there's still a large decoration odor after the indoor wall is painted and ventilated for seven days, it's recommended to fully ventilate for a period of time before moving in.
