1. How to choose latex paint?
The function of latex paint is very important, and it should be selected according to the different areas to be painted. For example, the latex paint used for the walls of bedrooms and living rooms requires strong adhesion, fine texture, good resistance to differentiation, and good breathability; the latex paint for kitchens and bathrooms should have waterproof, mold-resistant, and easy-to-clean properties. For bedrooms, latex paint based on polyvinyl acetate can be used; however, for kitchens, bathrooms, and balcony ceilings that are prone to moisture, more washable coatings such as strong ethylene-propylene or styrene-acrylic latex paint should be chosen.
2. What should be noted during construction?
Before applying latex paint, the wall surface must be properly treated; otherwise, serious problems such as peeling, cracking, and bubbling may occur after the paint is applied. Many people still use 821 putty during construction, but 821 putty is not very water-resistant. When the wall contains moisture, 821 putty will absorb water and bubble, leading to large areas of bubbling and peeling of the latex paint. Moreover, the better the performance of the latex paint and the better the film-forming ability, the more serious the problem will be. Therefore, when using latex paint, first seal the wall with a primer, and then use water-resistant putty to avoid the above problems.
When applying latex paint, it should be mixed evenly, especially when using brightly colored products. If not mixed evenly, the color paste in the paint may become unstable or precipitate after long storage, which can cause the finish to appear mottled and severely affect the decorative effect.
Additionally, whether water can be added during the application of latex paint and how much water can be added must strictly follow the manufacturer's specifications. Some manufacturers have fully considered various user needs when designing latex paint and have developed multiple formulas. Some latex paints do not require water to be added during application, as adding water may damage the various properties of the latex paint.
Note that during construction, brushing, rolling, and spraying techniques can be used. Any of these methods can achieve the desired effect, but it is necessary to adjust the viscosity of the latex paint so that it is easy to brush during application and leaves no obvious brush marks after brushing. If the viscosity is too high, brush marks will be obvious; if the viscosity is too low, it may cause dripping and poor coverage.
After construction, tools should be cleaned with water in a timely manner; otherwise, once the latex paint dries, it will be very difficult to clean due to the water resistance of the paint film.
