Do you have to sand and prime satin latex paint to paint over with an eggshell latex paint or can you just paint it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, Eggshell and Satin are very similar. Though i would recommend scuffing the walls with a sanding block or sandpaper to help with adhesion . Also current and new colors will make a difference, you may need to use primer if applying a lighter color over a darker one or if there are excessive stains on the walls.

How do you turn satin paint into flat paint?

Asked by Wiki User

I prefer to paint all walls and ceilings satin. I have no idea why people just automatically think that ceilings have to be flat...or even white. I do satin on the ceilings because of dust, yes dust does stick to the ceilings, esp near AC vents and around ceiling fans. Have you ever tried to sweep your flat white ceiling to get the dust off after a few years? It just smears. I think satin ceilings make small rooms brighter and larger. You must use satin or semi on the ceiling in the bathrooms, a bathroom environment is the one interior space that is actually most like an outdoor space with water splashing, steam, humidity, extreme temp changes, I wonder if it would be best to use exterior paint in the bathroom. For ceilings though I pick a white with a bit of grey and go all satin.

Can you mix semi gloss paint and satin paint?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it will give you a finish between the two. Just remember it you need to touch up a spot down the road, you are going to have a hard time, unless you make the exact mixture again, that's why it is better not to try mixing different paints together.

Its hard enough getting the color to match even when you have a paint code to follow.

What the different between satin and semi gloss?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Satin is lower gloss than semi-gloss paint.

Paint finishes in order of decreasing gloss are:

* Gloss * Semi-gloss * Satin/Low sheen * Flat Some manufacturers call Satin/Low sheen finish Eggshell, and others regard this as a finish between Satin/Low sheen and Flat paint.

The higher the gloss finish the easier it is to clean, the higher its durabillity and the more it shows surface imperfections.

Is there latex in butrans patches?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nope - the patches are designed with the fact in mind that some patients are latex sensitive (but more to reduce overall liability). Usually any skin reactions are from the adhesive itself, or from some allergen sticking to the adhesive before it's applied. Always make sure the skin cleaned well before adding a new patch to the area, and if you're using the same area (even though you're not supposed to do it repeatedly, I and many others do it anyway) make sure you let the skin breathe for a couple of hours before the next patch is applied.

If you're having skin problems, you can use a product called Skin-Prep to put a film on your skin (it has to be applied only on the area where the patch edges are though) that increases adhesion, and also acts as a barrier between the adhesive and the skin. Skin-Prep is an Ostomy product that can be obtained in most pharmacies.
