must be closed, and the window needs to be opened until the latex paint has dried to prevent cracking. After the wall is painted with latex paint, it is necessary to have a period of time to stand still. It is best to open the windows for ventilation after spraying latex paint for 3 to 5 days. Time adjustments can be made according to the actual situation of the wall. The reason why the air cannot be ventilated immediately is to prevent some dust particles from sticking to the wall due to ventilation and prevent the wall from cracking and falling off. Pay attention to mixing latex paint with water, be sure to mix evenly with wooden sticks, wait for 20 minutes before putting on the wall to avoid bubbles on the wall.
1. How to apply latex paint?
1. If you want a beautiful latex paint wall, choosing a good tool is the first one. Like brushes, we give priority to wool brushes . Because the wool brush can better paint a uniform wall effect, and the color saturation can be high and can withstand repeated cleaning in the future.
2. Before starting construction, we need to clean up the foundation wall. We need to fill in the pits. If there are stains on the wall, we must clean it up as soon as possible. Before painting, keep the overall clean of the wall so that the adhesion of latex paint will be stronger.
3, water-based latex paint must be used in proportion. Generally speaking, we only use clear water to compare. We must control the ratio to around 20%-30%, such latex paint has the best viscosity. If you add too much water, the latex paint will be very thin and the adhesion on the wall will be strong.
4. After stirring the water and latex paint with a wooden stick, leave it for about 20 minutes. The reason for this is to eliminate bubbles in the water. If you paint the wall without waiting for defoaming, bubbles are prone to appear on the wall.
2. The concept of latex paint
1. Latex paint is a water dispersible coating. It is a paint made by using synthetic resin emulsion as the base material, and the filler is ground and dispersed and added with various additives. Latex paint has many advantages that are different from traditional wall coating , such as easy to apply, quick drying, water resistance of the paint film, good scrubbing resistance, etc. People use synthetic resin emulsion as the base material and water as the dispersion medium, and add pigments, fillers (also known as physical pigments) and additives. The paint made through a certain process is called latex paint, also called latex paint .
