Wait it! - That I was looking for. Acknowledged for a long time. I like to redo the furniture. But I absolutely do not like to shoot with her old coating: such as sandwich desperately, drag and rub. I am sure that many exactly this preparatory process and makes it possible to retreat from conceived alterations. Rejoice, girls. There is a way! Invented and tested his reasons for beverly
And she painted this chair - familiar to many of us
And the chair turned into such a handsome man:
My delights - no limit! I also got a similar chair, which spent several years at the cottage, all rewinded and degraded
This is what it looks like a wounded time chair - that is, horror - it seems, it would be easier to throw
After a small study, a variety of samples, Beverly understood how to make paint so that it could be painted everything without tiring. It recommends using a 3: 1 ratio (paint: additive) with calcium carbonate or with plaster. The author used calcium carbonate from a grocery store. In other words, the soda is food.
That's what she did and how:
Boil a small amount of water (a third of a glass) and slowly add to the water, about three-quarters of the calcium carbonate cups. Well and thoroughly stirring, so that there are no lumps. Purchases add calcium into paint without boiling water, were unsuccessful: a lot of lumps left. Measurements are not accurate, everything was done on the eye, intuitive.
We pour into the container about one and a half cups of latex paint, add a mixture of water and calcium carbonate, minor portions, mix, add more. We add and mix until the mixture becomes uniform, slightly watery paint. But a lot of calcium is also added to add, the paint is very thick with time.
And begin to paint not polished, not a stroked tree. It turns out beautifully, as in the photo below
The paint lies well, dries quickly. After drying, the paint does not flag, and does not have flakes.
Then we applied wax, mixed with a small amount of veil to make pulling. Dry and poll into the necessary spots.
Here is such a beautiful chair.
And further finishing is the local case of each craftswoman: we want, we leave, as is. We want to decapapay
