Paint The Main Door..

Recommended Posts

hi, may i know what if i skip step 1 to 7, and only do step 8, what will happen to the gate? :unsure:

If you don't need a perfect job, you must perform step 7 and 8. Step 7 is very important - it'll help new paint adhere to the old paint.

You need to use paint stripper if you want to paint light tone over dark tone.

If you are using the same tone, just sand likely with grit 100 sand paper and apply those can varnish with lacquer.

how to remove existing varnish paint. Recently it is painting clear varnish paint. I can't find paint stripper in hardware store. Is paint stripper same as paint remover? If i used sand paper, then the wood have a little scratches?

Go to a paint/hardware shop & tell them you want a paint removal for removing the varnish.

It's 'teck sai', no idea what the actual spelling Maybe is what Diavonex mention - taxite.

Be careful when using this, strong smell, just like thinner.

Use a brush to apply this removal, leave aside it for some time till you see varnish surface.

Remove it with a scaper and repeat the procedure.

Leave the door to be dry enough before sanding.

Dust it or wipe it clean before you apply the varnishes.
