Either flat or oval-shaped brushes may be used. Oval brushes are pref... (read more) Author: Allison Ryan

6. Compositions and Uses for Lacquers August 03, 2009 Almost all of the large paint and varnish manufacturers in the United States are now making lacquers, which in some cases are being unwisely advertised as suitable for nearly all purposes. In the hands of a skilled finisher they produce satisfactory effects, but when a novice attempts to spread them with a brush over newly varnished surfaces, there is sure to be trouble because the solvents in the lacquer are similar to those contained in some of the paint and varnish removers and the newly applied coating reacts with the old, resulting in a spoiled finish. If a varnished or enameled sur... (read more) Author: Allison Ryan

7. Distempering and Finishing Surfaces June 14, 2009 If a ceiling and frieze is to be distempered the ceiling should be completely covered before the frieze is coated. After the job has been completed the brush should be washed out immediately and well rinsed and any surplus water should be shaken out. Walls are distempered in the same way as ceilings and only one wall of a room should be covered at a time.

A small brush can ... (read more) Author: Allison Ryan
