Painting: Work with a brush

This is the simplest and most familiar way of applying paint and varnishes, mordants. For work, you can use the following types of brushes: pobelochnaya brush to paint the walls and ceiling, round brush (handbrake) for painting radiators, pipes, woodwork and other surfaces with oil paint, brush, ceiling brushes for painting the walls and ceilings with emulsion paint and glue; paneled brush for depositing thin strips on the walls flat brush (fleyts) for painting in oils and correcting defects after painting the walls of the adhesive coating (it is used and when stained with emulsion paint), crosscut, paint roller to cover the walls of emulsion and oil paints. When choosing a brush, note the length of its working parts. If the hair is too long, the paint can not be any shade, let alone put an even layer. Brush with short hair instead of feathering will deform the painted surface, leaving traces. Only in the case when the length of the working part of the brush is equal to its diameter, the elasticity of hair and push your hands are balanced, and is attained uniformly applying a layer of paint. If the brush is made with the bristles, the length of which exceeds the diameter of the beam, in any case, do not cut it. Recommended to shorten the working part by roping coarse thread or twine. In this case, the brush will last you much longer. In order to harness not slipped (the brush will be narrowed to an end, since the inside working parts will be free space), it should be inside the working parts of the plugs made of wood or rubber of the same diameter as the handle, and the height the same as the estimated binding . You can buy brushes of different colors. They are easy to apply in the case, if you want to simultaneously paint the surface in several colors. In the painting process be careful to not lose a bristle brush and keep it from sticking to the painted objects. If the brush "climbs" should be replaced by a tool. After the brush should be thoroughly washed with soap. If used in oil or nitro, brushes needed for 20-30 minutes to put in the tub with a solvent, and then rinse with water. After this, all hands should be wet, dry cloth, dry well and put into the tool box. It is advisable to store them in a separate package. With proper care brush can then be used more than once.
