Types and Applications

Paint brushes are categorized into hard-bristle and soft-bristle types based on their bristle materials. Hard-bristle brushes, usually made of pig bristle, are suitable for applying paints with slower drying times. Soft-bristle brushes, made from sheep wool or goat hair, are ideal for achieving a smooth, delicate finish on surfaces.

Paint brushes are widely used for the application of various types of coatings, such as phenolic varnish and alkyd varnish. They are particularly suitable for automotive painting, especially for applying primers and coatings on chassis components.

Maintenance Tips

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Painted furniture should not be placed near windows or doors exposed to direct sunlight, as UV rays may cause the finish to crack and chalk.

Avoid Covering with Plastic or Newspaper: Do not cover freshly painted furniture with plastic sheets or newspapers for extended periods, as this may cause the coating to become sticky or lose its gloss.

Cleaning and Care: If furniture becomes dirty, wipe it with a cloth dampened with diluted detergent or dish soap, then clean with water. Avoid scratching with sharp objects or striking the surface with hard materials.

Prevent Heat Damage: Do not place hot items such as cups or pots directly on painted surfaces. Always use coasters or heat-resistant pads to prevent damage to the paint film.

Timely Repairs: Any damage to the paint film should be repaired promptly to prevent moisture from entering the wood, which could lead to bubbling or peeling.
