Answer 1

TOOLS TO APPLY PAINTS Following are the tools to apply paints: 1. PAINT BRUSH 2. ROLLER 3. PADS 4. SPRAY GUNS 5. AEROSOLS 1.PAINT BRUSH: Brushes are available in a variety of sizes and qualities. They are the most versatile applicators, as by using several sizes, they can cope with most painting requirements. Cheaper brushes often lose their bristles easier, which can be annoying and time consuming when odd bristles have to be removed from a surface -and at the same time their impressions can mark the drying paint surface. There are brushes suitable for applying emulsion to a large surface (such as a wall), 8 inch (200mm) or 6 inch (150mm) brushes are po Never load the brush with too much paint - only dip approximately one third of the brush-head into the paint pot. Use the side of the pot to wipe off excess paint, this will stop the paint leaking into the brush head and dripping from the handle. Always apply oil paint in vertical strokes, followed by light horizontal strokes to even out the cover. pular sizes to use. 2.ROLLER: Rollers are popular tools for painting walls and ceilings. They cover surfaces very quickly and are particularly suitable for uncomplicated sections. Brushwork is still advisable around the edging as they will finish off more precisely. The popular size for a paint roller is 7 inches (175mm). The sleeves covering the rollers are made from sheepskin, short pile and long pile woven wool, foam or moulded PVC. 3.PADS: Different sized pads are available in rectangles or squares, with short mohair surfaces bonded to foam strips. They are inexpensive and are often sold in sets. The most popular size for applying paint to walls or ceilings is 8 inches (200mm). Extension handles are available with some pads to help when painting ceilings. If an extension is unavailable, try taping the pad to a pole. 4.SPRAY GUNS: Spraying is an efficient way of painting a large area in a relatively short space of time, such as the outside wall of a building. Spray guns are expensive to buy, consisting of a paint reservoir, nozzle and an electric compressor. They have limited use around the home and can be hired from a hire shop but check with them the size and suitability for the type of paint you intend to use. They can supply a variety of sizes suitable for numerous projects. They are more suited to outside work as there is so much preparation required for use indoors. 5.AEROSOLS: For a small job, aerosol cans could be used, but they can be very expensive. They are pressurised containers which force paint onto the surface through a fine spray jet. If a surface is highly textured and difficult to paint an aerosol should be considered.
