Basic Surface Preparation
Surface locations require ample preparation to achieve excellent results. Ensure the surfaces you are painting are free from dust, wax, sauces, oil, mold, or any contaminants and that they are clean and dry. Employ soapy, warm water to clean away any dirt or chalk with some mild scrubbing. A commercial wax stripper may be needed if you are extracting surface wax. An Oil or Grease emulsifier can be used to remove oil or slimy applications.
While prep time takes time, it is essential for helping you achieve pro results. Remove all cracked, peeled, or chipped paint from the previously painted surface. Use wire brushes, hand scraping equipment, electric grinders, sanders, etc. to accomplish sanding. Any type of metal pieces have to be free from chips, mill scale and rust deposits. Any type of broken surfaces which are delaminated require repairs and sometimes replacement.
Smoothly sand the paint edges alongside the surface portion you are wanting to paint. All high-gloss portions require sanding to generate light scratches and a dull coating so the paint can stick on properly. Vacuum after sanding to remove all dust and debris ahead of painting.
Application
Cabinet Coat can easily be applied with a roller or a paintbrush. Some choose to spray and use the HVLP approach. It is recommended to stir the product ahead of using it. Attempt to maintain a wet paint edge when you are brushing and rolling as you cover portions that have been coated previously. Cabinet Coat cures swiftly. Be wary of brush or roller marks appearing on an overworked product. For the best results, apply Cabinet Coat as soon as the surface and ambient temperatures are above 50 degrees F and less than 90 degrees F. Do not paint when there is any chance of moisture amassing on the wet paint.
Best Cleaning Methods
Cleanup when your painting project is complete by relying on soapy, warm water. After thoroughly washing your hands, immerse your equipment, paint rollers and paint brushes. Guarantee proper soap water disposal follows the safety guidelines. Call your recycle centre to see if they will take dry or empty containers. Understand where your local bylaw or sanitation department stands on local disposal issues and plan as required. Check on removal options with your ecological agency.
Safety, Health and the Environment
Specific air circulation is vital at all times. Avoid inhaling the spray mist or sanding dust every time. Ensure there is a fresh air entry for drying and safe application. Use proper safety gear to make sure that no product comes in touch with the skin or the eyes. Wear an authorized NIOSH respirator throughout the application, clean up and sanding to stop spray mist and dust exposure. Operate the respirator correctly by following the manufacturer’s directions. Wash your hands before and after use and make sure the container is always closed when you are finished the application.
FIRST AID
Flush with water for at least fifteen minutes if any product penetrates the eyes. Use soapy water to wash the skin thoroughly in the event of contact. Immediately seek medical attention if required. If any breathing difficulty takes place, get outside into the fresh air and then seek medical help if symptoms persist.
