ESSENTIAL TIPS - HOME DECORATING - EVERY DAY HERE!

PROCEDURE FOR WINDOWS

Faint windows early in the day, or you may have to leave them open all night to dry. Oil-based paints take several hours to dry. Stick masking tape around the edges of the glass, leaving a Y in (2 mm) gap between the frame and window; paint will overlap onto the glass, protecting the frame against water damage.

CASEMENT WINDOWS

In order, paint the rebates and crossbars (1), crossrails (2), hinge edge and hanging stile (3), meeting stile (4), and frame (5).

PAINTING SASH WINDOWS
Reverse the top and bottom frames. Paint the meeting rail (1), vertical bars (2), lower runners and frame (3), crossrail and underside (4). Once dry, reverse the frames. Paint a crossrail (5), vertical bars (6), other crossrail (7), remainder (8), soffit, upper runners, behind cord (9), frame (10).

PAINT SAFELY

Safety is a real issue; always read the manufacturer's labels before you begin decorating, and wear the necessary protective.

Many of the solvents used to clean painting tools give off toxic fumes, so make sure that your work area is well ventilated.
Mineral spirits, methylated spirits, and turpentine are dangerous if inhaled, swallowed, or allowed to come into contact with the skin.
It is advisable not to eat, drink, or smoke while painting.
Keep paint and cleaning agents away from children and pets.
Wear a dust mask when working with powder colors.
Since some paints and cleaning agents can irritate the skin, it is a good idea to wear protective gloves.
If painting overhead, wear goggles and stand on a secure, level base.

This glossary of Paint terms is one of the largest available on the Internet.

Grease on walls

Oil, grease or grime on wall surfaces. Common in kitchens and garages. Grease on the walls causes poor paint adhesion, stains, or small "pinpoint" rust spots.

Solution:

Wash the surface with detergent and warm water, apply an isolating primer such as X-Terminator alkyd, and repaint with a coat of Kitchen and Bath acrylic enamel.
