  4. Preparing Surfaces • The goal • Provide a surface to which the paint can make a strong, permanent bond • The surface must be clean, smooth, and free of loose particles such as dust and old paint.

  5. Preparing Surfaces • Very little has to be done to new lumber • Previously painted wood needs to be cleaned and/or flaked wood need to be sanded • Fill all cracks, joints, crevices, and nail holes with wood putty, plastic wood, or caulking

  6. Preparing Surfaces • Any stains should be removed. • Mildew is a black fungus-based stain that occurs in moist conditions. • Wash the area with household bleach or TSP (trisodium phosphate) diluted in warm water.

  7. Oil Based Paint • A solvent-based paint • used mainly as an exterior finish • Cleaned up with turpentine, paint thinner, or a commercial brush cleaner

  8. Latex Paints • Water-based paints • used as either an exterior or interior paint • easy to apply • quick drying • good color retention • water thinned • convenient clean up with soap & water

  9. Flat Finish • Sometimes called an eggshell finish • Can be washed occasionally • Dries with little gloss

  10. Semi-gloss Finish • Moderate gloss • Withstands wear and washes well • Used for walls and ceilings in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms

  11. Gloss Finish • High priced paint • Durable and washes well • Brings out all defects in the surface • Excellent coating
