TRICKS SMALL REPAIR | MODEL CONSTRUCTION

Today is a difficult time, many live by the principle: “necessity is the mother of invention”. Not enough money, we have to get out, remembering or inventing all sorts of homemade tricks.

Stir in an open Bank to defend the paint and water, while clothing is fairly difficult. Make a well in the lid a small hole, insert a bent rod, securing the top end in the Chuck of a drill. One minute is sufficient for safe operation, and paint will mix.

If the layer of paint film was formed, strain it is not necessary. Simply place in a jar cut from nylon stocking, and the brush can be dipped directly through stocking. Paint is used completely, without wastage.

Banks with oil paint it is recommended to close as tightly as possible, otherwise the inside of the container will penetrate the air, which will cause the appearance of the film. But as neither tightly keep the cover small cracks still remain. To seal a jar with oil paint, flip it over for a second upside-down. The paint will fill the cracks and air will not pass.

The old whitewash from the ceiling, you can remove in the dry way, without diluting with water. This metal scraper is made in the form of a box with a long tube-handle, it is put on the collection bag of chalk.

To reduce dust, the old layer of chalk from the ceiling and remove with a wire brush connected to a vacuum cleaner.

The paint should normally be applied in a thin layer, therefore, at once to cover the surface you will, of course, will not succeed. Paint it again after the first coat is dry. Remember that two or three thin coats are always stronger than one thick.

When coating with oil paint to obtain a matte surface, you need to add the solution of soap (1 bar of soap 3 liters of paint). Milled soap flakes, pour water (it lightly covers the chips) and heated until complete dissolution. Then, while stirring, pour the solution into the paint.

You fix the flat and decided to paint the walls to the ceiling. How to hold on top smooth boundary? It’s easy to do even one, if you use a simple fixture. From cardboard cut a strip the desired width and length of about half a meter Came to her wooden chock is to be handle. Moving the cardboard along the ceiling behind the brush, you will achieve smooth boundaries.

A small rectangle of cardboard, sheet metal or other dense material attached to the glass when painting window frames, will protect the glass from accidental brush strokes and allow to gently paint the frame.

Before painting the window frames on the glass apply a thin layer of rubber glue and glue strips of paper around the edges. After painting, remove the paper and the glue roll by hand or with an eraser.

When painting the baseboards takes a lot of skill and care to protect the floors from falling paint. Your good assistant in this case becomes an ordinary shovel, which must be passed between the baseboard and the floor. In this run-off to scoop the excess paint can be used again to paint the baseboards.

Before you plug the hole with plaster in the wall, drive around the perimeter a few protruding nails. “The patch” get much more reliable.

During painting operations often have to remove with a brush the excess paint. A piece of wire, bent at both ends and placed over the edges of the tank with paint. can be both a stand for the brush and ciscaucasicum.

Be sure about the safety of the brush. Do not put it near the jar, and keep always lowered into the paint. To do this, stock up on a metal rod and doorlite in the handle of the brush a few holes. Decreasing the ink in the Bank move the bar in another hole.

A piece of old Bicycle inner tube,intercepted by a rubber ring, serves as a great temporary storage of paintbrushes.

Paint brush with hair getting out — things torment. Make a clip brush size, put on the clip, gripping the hair and pull the bolt firmly. Loss of hair from the brush end.

From a piece of foam rubber, clamped in a metal holder, which turns the brush handy. She has good shade paint: foam leaves no streaks. To wash a brush is not necessary — just a dried foam replaced.

The ceiling is painted first. And the last coat of paint or whitewash must necessarily be applied by brush in the direction of the light (the window). And the previous, consequently, across. Otherwise, no matter how carefully you did the work, traces of the brush will be visible on the ceiling.

Painting built-in or overhead cabinets, start with the outer surfaces. First, enjoy tight inner walls.

The final coat of paint on the wall from top to bottom apply. Otherwise, brush marks are visible.

Before paint roller, large surface, cover the brush (fleyts) corners of walls, junctions with Windows, doors and other places where a roller to paint uncomfortable. The width of the brush strip must be at least 7 — 8 cm.

Painting with a roller, start with a few strokes crosswise, then RUB them horizontally and vertically. A lot of paint on the roller (but in the same way as in the brush), do not type.
