分享油漆涂刷6个步骤

分享油漆涂刷6个步骤


  小编这几天焦头烂额,对着自己的新房墙面长叹短嘘。一问之下才知道穆穆正在为新房的墙面油漆施工束手无策。今天就来解决这个问题吧。
步骤1:准备工作不能马虎
在油漆涂刷之前,要检查门、窗框、家具的保护情况,用报纸等可用纸张仔细遮盖,做好的木柜、地板等都要将其覆盖好,以免在油漆施工中弄脏家具而存在遗憾。
步骤2:油漆调色要事先计算仔细
有颜色要求的墙面,事先应准确计算面积,一次将所涂料调配完整。记得要多算一、两平的面积,以防在以后油漆修补时不够用。涂刷时要注意,首先是上底漆,可以防止壁面反潮,让面漆的色泽均匀,防止木板木酸而出现的水渍纹路。
步骤3:油漆涂刷的先后顺序要遵守
油漆涂刷和贴墙砖的道理是一样的,按照从上到下、从左到右的顺序,油漆涂刷时先吊顶、线条,最后是墙面。墙面上漆至少要上两遍,第一遍涂料可加水,方便墙壁吸收,第二遍面漆可不加水,与第一遍涂层有一定的间隔时间。
步骤4:不同刷子各有妙用
用粗滚筒将油漆均匀涂在墙壁,再用细滚筒在粗滚筒刷过的地方,重刷一遍,让墙面油漆变得细腻,并刷出所需花纹。用笔刷对墙边和墙角漏刷的地方进行补漆。
步骤5:墙面打磨更光滑
当墙面油漆干后,用砂纸对墙面进行打磨,以减少墙面刷痕,使墙面更加光滑。在打磨时注意要不时用手来感受墙面的光滑度,以便判断哪里需要打磨。应注意是打磨时,尽量用较细的砂纸。打磨完后要彻底清扫一遍墙面。
步骤6:验收步骤要仔细再仔细
清理与检查。将脚线及其他地方的油漆痕迹清理掉,检查墙面的颜色是否符合设计要求,涂刷面颜色是否一致,以防有透底、漏刷、皮碱掉粉、起泡、咬色、流坠等质量缺陷。
小编总结:油漆施工是一个繁琐的过程,不过注意到以上6点后,一些不必要的小遗憾就你那个尽可能的避免。

What are the 10 most popular pressure washer uses?

What are the 10 most popular pressure washer uses?


A few of these don’t seem to fit into how I see my neighbours and friends using their pressure washers. Chimney sweep services? But of course the reason for this is that is commercial and I am interested in residential. So I went and asked around in forums and compiled the below list of what seems to be the top 10 pressure washer uses:


10. Grills





Many people use their pressure washer to clean their grills fast. Be sure to detach the propane and any electrical.

9. Outdoor Furniture


It seems that people either never cleaned their outdoor furniture or they cleaned their outdoor furniture regularly with a pressure cleaner. And why not? It’s super quick and easy.



8. Various Gear Like Lawn Mowers, Mountain Bikes, Trailers and Boats



This is a bit of a random section that includes boats, lawn mowers, bikes and other random things around the house including dog houses and go karts. A lot of people mentioned they cleaned their other power equipment with a pressure washer on.



7. Cars and Trucks



It was surprising that cars and trucks weren’t the consensus #1. Many people said they often did clean their car with a pressure washer but it still needed a good solid sponge or brush to get it fully clean. Some people swore-by using pressure washer and attachment brush. 



6. Fencing



Basically everyone has a fence so it made since that it was quite a popular surface to clean with a pressure washer


5. Home Exteriors Like Vinyl or Brick (And Also Window Cleaning)



It’s always surprising to see how much better a house looks when it’s clean.House siding and brick houses were a popular mention for pressure washer usage. 


4. Wood Decks





Just look at how dirty that wood deck got – it would have been so slippery. 


3. Front Entrance Stairs and Walkways





Realtors know the importance of curb appeal when trying to sell a house and there is almost nothing as important as a clean front entrance. As you can see in the pic this brick front steps look 10x better clean. 



2. Concrete or Tile Patios 





People tend to entertain in the summer on their concrete or brick back or front patios. It’s where the BBQ grill is and it’s where you can hang out and enjoy the nice weather. It’s because of this reason that I think many people used their pressure washer to regularly clean their concrete/tile patios. 


1. Driveways and Garage Floors 




I think if I kept asking more people patio or front steps may have taken over first spot. But seriously almost 100% of people I talked to mentioned driveway as one of the pressure washer uses and main reasons they bought a pressure washer

水性漆与油性漆有什么区别?家装水漆如何施工?

水性漆与油性漆区别
  目前,人们对生活品质的要求不断增高,对家居材料的要求也不断提升,而涂料作为家庭装修常用的材料之一,也随着消费者需求的升级而升级。最近,听到最多的是“水性漆”和“油性漆”,很多消费者表示对两种涂料傻傻分不清,再加上“水性漆”在市场中的份额不断增大,很多装友还想了解水性漆如何正确施工,针对以上两个问题,小编将一一解答,下面就让我们一起来解答这两个问题吧!
  水性漆与油性漆有什么区别?

何为水性漆
  水性漆:水性漆就是以水为稀释剂、不含有机溶剂的涂料,又称为水性涂料。
  特点:漆膜丰满、晶莹透亮、柔韧性好并且具有耐水、耐磨、耐老化、耐黄变、干燥快、使用方便等。

何为油性漆
  油性漆:以干性油为主要成膜物质的一类涂料,主要有清油,厚漆,油性调合漆、油性防锈漆和腻子、油灰等,所用油脂主要是桐油、亚麻油、梓油、豆油、葵花籽油、鱼油等。
  特点:易于生产、价格低廉、涂刷性好、涂膜柔韧,渗透性好。

水性漆与油性漆区别水性漆与油性漆哪个好?
  小编点评:目前市场上普遍认为,水性漆以清水作为稀释剂,不含有致癌物质,水性漆的优点与油性漆相比,更具有环保性,且无毒无味,涂刷后即可入住。但相对而言,水性漆的价格一般比油性漆高。至于选择哪种漆,要结合自己的经济情况以及对家装的具体要求来定,但不论选哪一种,都要多咨询商家多求证,毕竟同为水性漆或者同为油性漆,其质量差异也很大。
  就目前市场发展状况来看,水性漆受青睐程度越来越高,很多准备使用水性漆的网友向小编咨询水性漆的施工过程,那么,小编就家装水性漆如何正确施工做一分享。

水性漆如何施工
 1、基材处理
  先用小铲子把所有起泡的墙皮都铲去,这样可以避免涂刷水漆时沾起墙皮,破坏墙面的整洁性。如果铲去墙皮,露出了砖或水泥,则先用灰泥遮盖表面。
 2、调漆
  根据漆的粘稠度兑水量一般为5%-20%。由于商品出厂前已满足了涂刷的基本要求,如无操作经验者,则不建议私自兑水。
  3、刷漆
  水漆开封后,应充分搅拌,再用辊筒沾满水漆,在墙上滚出大大的“M”或“W”来。滚完一遍后,用砂纸打磨一下并清理干净。整个过程需要用辊筒刷三遍,用砂纸打磨两遍。需要注意的是,手法务必均匀,切忌左滚一下,右滚一下。
  4、清理验收
  待水漆完全干透后,可简单处理一下墙面,确保干净、平整。

  另外,刷漆的天气也有讲究,最好是在有阳光或者有风的晴天,这样,水漆才容易干,才能避免以后出现掉漆的现象。未用完的漆应密封储存,方便下次使用。特别应该注意的是,水漆一般的保质期为18个月,因此,购买前应算好墙面涂刷面积,避免浪费。开封后,则应尽早使用。

The possible mess and impending screw-ups here and there are enough to drive a person nuts! Luckily, these 25 tips will leave you feeling relieved!

▼​1. Lint-roll your cheap paint roller before you start. That way, the fuzzy bits don't get into your paint.

▼2. Wipe down your walls to make sure they're not covered in paint-ruining dust.


▼​3. Plastic tablecloths are cheaper and more durable than plastic sheets, and less slippery than canvas cloth.

▼​11. Just use a precision, stiff-angled brush instead.

▼​13. Want to transform your drab concrete patio into something awesome? Turns out you can actually paint it!

▼​14. Just make sure you cover it in a coat of white vinegar first. Or else your paint could crack. This applies to painting metal, too.

▼​19. Use heat to pull off masking tape.It melts the adhesive a little bit so it won't tear while you pull it off.

▼​20. If your furniture feels rough after the paint has dried, rub a brown paper bag over the surface.

▼​21. Stop unwanted dripping with just a coat hanger.You can also stretch a rubber band around the can.

▼​22. Don't waste paint! Scrape it off your roller with a putty knife.

▼​23. If you only have a little bit of paint left, store it in a paint buddy.
▼​24. Before closing your paint can, line it with plastic wrap so the paint doesn't stick shut.
▼​25. Make sure to cover your paint can with some rags or some paper towels before you hammer it shut.

Now all that's left to do is put these tips to the test, and enjoy the fresh new outlook a simple palette change can give you!
