Varnishing

Important knowledge

  • Chalk Paint is better with water-based varnish.
  • Varnish should be applied the next day.
  • For the first layer of varnish, dilute the varnish a little with water: 5-10% water - read more in the varnish package. Stir the varnish with water thoroughly and always with a stick.
  • When mixing the varnish, it is not necessary to shake it, so that bubbles do not appear.


Working with varnish requires a tool:

  • foam roller - flat surface;
  • soft flat brush with synthetic bristles - uneven surface.


DO NOT PRESS firmly on the tool when painting, otherwise you risk damaging the painted surface.

On the varnish package read:

  • after how long can the next layer be applied;
  • when you can sand the surface between layers of varnish;
  • when it is allowed to use lacquered objects.

Rooms and surfaces:

Bathroom

  • In a room where only vapor settles, 2-3 layers of wax are sufficient for the surface. Each layer is applied after 5 days.
  • Cover the cabinet under the sink with floor or furniture waterproof varnish in 3-4 layers.


Kitchen

  • The wall near the work surface is covered with waterproof and wear-resistant floor varnish in 4-6 layers.
  • The facade can be covered with 3 layers of wax, or with 4 layers of waterproof and wear-resistant floor or furniture varnish. It depends on how often (or rarely) you cook.


Floor, stairs - apply floor varnish.
Cover the railing with wax.

Tabletop: dining table, desk, children's or office, chest of drawers - cover with waterproof and wear-resistant furniture or floor varnish in at least 4 layers.

Garden furniture covers water-based and exterior varnish - for garden furniture with a UV filter.

Only furniture protected from insects and mold may be painted.
