未完成的木工工艺品的油漆类型
如果您想绘画未完成的木工工艺品，则应考虑几种涂料。
- 乳胶油漆are ideal if you are looking for general coverage with a fast-drying, durable finish. They work well on both interior and exterior surfaces.
- Acrylicpaint for wood craftshave the same qualities as latex paints and can also be used on unfinished wood crafts. These paints dry more quickly than latex paints and are easy to clean up.
- 油基油漆具有光泽和哑光饰面。这些油漆在未完成的木工上很好地工作，但需要更长的干燥时间和更彻底的清理过程。
- 喷漆is another option for painting unfinished wood crafts. Spray paint is available in both oil-based and acrylic varieties and provides even coverage with little effort.
Before you start painting, decide what kind of look you are going for on your craft project. There are two basic ways to paint your unfinished wooden craft project.
The first is to use acrylic craft paint, which dries quickly and gives a bright color. The second is to use the color wash method using watered down acrylic craft paint, which makes the grain stand out more and gives the piece an aged look.
在绘画未完成的手工艺品之前，如何准备木质表面
Painting unfinished wood crafts is an easy and inexpensive way to create a personalized decor item. By following a few steps, you can create your own art or give new life to old home decor items.
如果适用，请删除或覆盖硬件。
Use a screwdriver or hammer, if necessary, to remove any hardware on the wood surface. Place all screws and other hardware in a cup or bag so they will not get lost.
Prepare the Surface
- 用通用清洁剂或脱脂剂清洁表面，并用水彻底冲洗。在绘画之前完全干燥。
- If there are imperfections in the wood such as knots or rough spots, apply wood filler with a putty knife and let it dry before sanding.
- 用细砂纸打磨木制工艺品。这有助于油漆更好地粘附在木头上，并摆脱任何可能在衣服或刮擦皮肤上抓住的碎片。
After sanding, wipe off the surface with a tack cloth to remove any dust before painting.
Prime the Surface
密封木头：
- 涂上带有油漆或滚筒的基于虫胶的底漆。
- 让底漆完全干燥，
- 在涂上更多外套之前，打磨并擦去任何灰尘。
您可能需要多达三层底漆来完全覆盖表面并防止木材的谷物图案流血。
The important thing to remember is you should use a good primer on your wood projects before painting them.
Primer will give your piece of furniture an even coat of paint, which will allow you to have smooth coverage on top of any rough spots where the grain may show through.
Paint
底漆后，用丙烯酸涂料涂上木制工艺品。丙烯酸涂料比Tempura涂料更具覆盖范围，但两者都可以成功地用于木制工艺品上。使用泡沫刷以获得最佳效果，因为它不会像其他刷子那样在油漆中留下刷子痕迹。
使用专门设计用于丙烯酸涂料的合成油漆刷来装饰未完成的木工工艺品。丙烯酸涂料是基于水的，因此您可以在颜色或项目之间轻松清洁刷子。
丙烯酸酯也可以混合以创建自定义的颜色或阴影，这是当您为未完成的木制工艺项目带来特定的配色时，这是理想的选择。
为绘画项目准备工作空间
在开始绘画未完成的木工工艺品之前，请确保您的工作空间已经准备好。
- Remove the contents of all drawers, and set them aside.
- If you don’t have a dedicated work area outside, cover your work surface with a drop cloth.
- 接下来，将两三层报纸放在掉落的布上。
- Use painter’s tape to temporarily secure the drop cloth and newspaper to your work surface so they don’t move while you’re working.
- Open windows to ensure proper ventilation.
Lastly, get rid of fire sources, or potential causes, as the chemicals in paints may be flammable.
