maintenance of paint paintings
One of the important things about painting and painting is maintaining the building's painted color, which includes two different concepts. One is to maintain the remaining colors in containers and the other is to maintain and take care of the color applied on the surface of the wall and ceiling, etc. Stay with us in this article to review and describe both the maintenance of building paint and the necessary measures and tips.
Importance and Necessity of Keeping the remaining paint after finishing work
In most cases, quantities of purchased paint are left over after the painting job is finished. These colors can be used later in other cases or to repair and modify surfaces. One of the important challenges regarding construction paint is how to maintain the remaining paint. Many times due to non-observance of the principles and negligence, the remaining color is damaged and becomes unusable.
In this section, we will examine the principles and methods of work and measures necessary to take care of the remaining colors so that it can be renewed and even after a reasonable time has passed. He used these colors again. Keep in mind that sometimes the painting work of the building may be delayed for a short time between executions. In this case, maintaining the colors becomes very important.
Of course, keep in mind that building paints have an expiration date, and even if the seal is not opened, it cannot be used after a very long time has passed. But fortunately, their expiration date is long. When buying paint, pay attention to the production date and the expiration date should be long enough.
The principles and methods of keeping the paint remaining
The first principle of maintaining the color of the painting is to add it with solvent and make the color composition only with the necessary amount of color for each surface. One of the mistakes of some newcomers is that they mix the whole color with the solvent and make the desired color combination completely. This work has many problems and is not recommended even if no color is added.
Keep in mind that after mixing the colors together and adding the solvent to it, if the color is added, you must throw it away. Also, you cannot use the prepared color for a long time, and it is better to apply it in less than one to two hours and prepare the color again for other surfaces.
If the volume of the remaining paint is small compared to its container, it is better to transfer it to a can or jam container that has a tight lid. If possible, it is better to put a layer of freezer nylon between the lid and container.
If the paint can is metal, do not place it in a wet area or on a wet floor. This will cause the metal can to rust over time and the color and contents inside the can will be completely damaged.
If you use the excess paint after a long period of time, it is better to carefully remove the top layer, which is usually a little dry, with a piece of wood or a spoon. Do not mix the paint before doing this.
Be careful not to leave the lid of the paint can open even for an hour and always make sure it is fully closed. Especially plastic and acrylic paints become dry and unusable in a short period of time when the lid of the can is open or not closed.
If the remaining paint is a little dry, avoid mixing it with fresh paint. This will ruin the entire color combination. The dried paint is not easily dissolved with new paint.
In the end, keep in mind that you should not put the can of paint (remaining or sealing) in a very hot or very cold place. Hot weather makes paint dry faster. Cold weather, especially for plastic paint, causes damage to the texture of the paint. Also, do not expose the paint can to the wind or sunlight.
maintenance of the coloring tool
An experienced painter cares carefully about his painting tools and equipment, especially brushes and rollers. If you don't wash and clean this tool properly and completely after painting, you should block it and get a new brush and roller for the next painting.
To maintain this tool while working, you should not allow your roller or brush to remain dry and always be in the color solution or its solvent. If you are using acrylic or plastic paint, be sure to have a container of water and if you are using oil paint, have a container with thinner or oil ready. When you don't use the painting tool temporarily, immerse it in the solvent.
After finishing the work, immediately and without wasting time, wash the brush or roller and other tools completely with the corresponding solvent and Dry it with a clean cloth.
maintenance of the paint of the paint
If the applied color is plastic, it is better to avoid washing and moisture penetrating the wall as much as possible. For surfaces that have been painted with oil and acrylic paint, you can clean the surface with a damp cloth and gently dragging it on the wall. In any case, the possibility of washing with water pressure and the use of rough materials will cause serious damage to the wall.
