Old water -based paint
Vodmulsionic paint is a long -standing friend of repairmen and lovers of home creativity. Many of us came across her in our homes, apartments or in summer cottages. But what if this paint has already seen species? Do not rush to throw away the bank - the old water -emulsion can find the second application.
How to determine whether the paint is suitable for use?
The first thing to do is inspect the paint. Pay attention to her consistency. If it is too thick or, conversely, too liquid, then most likely it will not work. Also, look closely at the color. If it has changed, for example, it has become darker or some extraneous shades appeared, then perhaps the paint has lost its original properties. Well, of course, if lumps or mold have formed on the surface, then it is better to get rid of such paint right away.
Possible options for re -application:
When the condition of the paint satisfies the minimum requirements, you can start finding ideas for its reuse. The old paint is perfect for painting items of furniture, garden figures, or to create simple decorative elements. You can even add a few other dyes to it to get interesting shades. The use of the old paint is also relevant for small repair work-for example, paints of some damaged areas of walls.
It is important to remember safety precautions:
Do not forget about security measures, working with old paint. If it still retains its smell, then work in a well -ventilated room. Use gloves and, if possible, a protective mask. After all, even the usual water emulsion may contain harmful substances if its composition does not comply with modern standards. After work, do not forget to thoroughly wash your hands and tools.
