What is the definition of Satin Paint?

Satin paint is a type of paint finish that has a soft sheen, sitting between matte and glossy finishes. It offers a smooth, reflective surface that is more durable than flat paint, making it suitable for areas that require some washability and durability, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Satin finishes are often used for walls, trim, and cabinetry, as they can enhance the depth of color while providing a subtle shine.

What is the difference between a pewter finish that's not antique pewter and a satin nickel finish?

A pewter finish that is not antique typically has a smoother, more uniform appearance with a silver-gray tone, reflecting a modern aesthetic. In contrast, satin nickel finish has a warmer, slightly yellowish hue and features a soft, brushed texture that diffuses light. While both finishes offer a contemporary look, the satin nickel is generally more reflective and less muted compared to the more rustic appearance of non-antique pewter. Overall, the choice between them depends on the desired style and color scheme of the space.

What would you do if you caught your 8 year old son wearing one of his sisters satin nightshirts with no underwear on underneath it in school?

Well, there are at home clothes and there are ones to go out in, and he should know the difference--but you might still have to insist. But if he actually went out dressed like this, he needs to come back in and change to clothing that is similar to everyone else. At 8, he should still be required to do as asked, following parental direction.

What is a dado finish?

Dado finish is a thin render of plastering done with cement. It has a smooth finish and looks something like polished concrete once sealed. Crazing (thin surface fractures) typically occurs in a dado finish and are seen as part of the character of the material. The crazing shouldn't comprimise the strength of the finish. Dado finishes are very durable if done correctly and have a distinct design aesthetic similar to polished concrete without the high dollar and environmental costs.

How do you get pencil out of satin?

Hand wash in a sink with lukewarm water and woolite or another mild detergent. do not scrub with any type of brush, just soak and use your fingertips. If this does not work, take it to a professional or try using an ultrasonic toothbrush - use the backside of the head, not the bristles. The ultrasonic waves help to break up the pencil lead (which is carbon and clay).

How do you prep walls that have been painted with a satin finish paint if you want to paint again with a satin finish paint?

The paint finish doesn't significantly change the surface preparation necessary. If the paint is the same type (water based going over waterbased or enamel over enamel) then the preparation is simply:

* cleaning, * remove loose material, * fill any holes or hollows, * sanding and * wiping, If you are changing the type of paint (eg: painting waterbased over enamel) you may need to use an etch primer to "key" the surface and give the new paint a texture to grip onto after sanding, and otherwise prepare as above.

What is a blueing finish on a gun?

Bluing is basically a controlled oxidation, similar to rust. True gun bluing is an electrochemical conversion coating resulting from an oxidizing chemical reaction with iron on the surface selectively forming magnetite (Fe3O4), the black oxide of iron, which occupies the same volume as normal iron. Black oxide provides minimal protection against corrosion, unless also treated with a water-displacing oil to reduce wetting and galvanic action.

In contrast, rust, the red oxide of iron (Fe2O3), does not occupy the same volume as iron, thereby causing the typical reddish rusting away of iron. Both "cold" and "hot" oxidizing processes are called bluing, but only the "hot" process provides any significant rust and corrosion resistance, and then only when also treated with an oiled coating.

Early gunsmiths used a chemical process that produced a brown finish---called "browning". Rust bluing was developed between hot and cold bluing processes. It was originally used by gunsmiths in the 19th century to blue firearms prior to the development of hot bluing processes. The process was to coat the gun parts in an acid solution, let the parts rustuniformly, then immerse the parts in boiling water to stabilize the rusting process by removing any remaining residue from the applied acid solution. Then the rust was karded (scrubbed) off, leaving a deep blue finish. This process was later abandoned by major firearm manufacturers as it often took parts days to finish completely, and was very labor intensive. It is still sometimes used by gunsmiths to obtain an authentic finish for a period gun of the time that rust bluing was in vogue, analogous to the use of browning on earlier representative firearm replicas.

How to paint using a Power painter on crown molding?

First, when painting crown molding, you will need to find an out of the way place for painting in. This place must fit the following criteria... * have sufficient square footage to accommodate all of the crown molding laid out flat and allow room for you to safely reach every inch of every stick. (painting crown molding is difficult if you can't reach it) * is totally dry. Do Not let your painted crown molding sit outside over night where it is vulnerable to dew or fog. * is safe from air born dust, dirt, leaves etc. Cover the entire floor space with painters plastic and lay out the crown molding in rows. For easy painting of your crown molding, it's best to group the rows in three to five sticks depending on your arm length. Also it is much easier to paint if they are raised up off the ground. I use buckets and 2x4s to do this. If you crown molding is white already then it is primered, you can skip that step. If not you will need to apply a coat of primer to seal the molding. No need to go very thick with it, one coat will do. Once dry, sand the primer coat lightly.

Applying Paint:

Generously apply the paint to two sticks at a time. Keep the spray nozzle consistently at the same distance from the crown molding (read the instructions on the box for the exact space)

Repeat the process for all the sticks and apply a second coat once dry.
