Preparation and Finishing of Surfaces |
||||
| Wood: Sand with sandpaper until smooth. Wipe away dust with a
cloth. Prime raw wood with primer. Let Dry. Sand and dust again. Apply base
coat. |
||||
| Metal: Painted or enameled metal only requires damp sponging
with water. |
||||
| Galvanized Tin: This has an oily film that must be removed
before painting. Use a solution of half water and half white vinegar. Don't
immerse the piece in water. Dry the piece thoroughly before painting. |
||||
| Glass or Glazed Ceramic: Clean Surface with rubbing alcohol. |
||||
| Fabric: Wash and dry garment to remove sizing and excess dye
before painting. |
||||
| Candles: Wipe it with alcohol to clean excess oils from
surface. (It's better to buy inexpensive candles to paint on because they
have less oils in them.). |
||||
| Plastic: Clean with rubbing alcohol and let dry thoroughly. |
||||
| Spray Lacquers: Are a good choice for final finishing. They
are especially good for outdoor projects. They dry very hard and provide
protection from the weather. Try to find one that won't yellow in the sun. |
||||
| Varnish: Can be brushed on wood and other porous surfaces. |
