Bondi Sands GLO Gloss Finishing Glow 100ml

Product Information

The fun use of high gloss paint is to create subtle patterns. For example, you can pair it with a satin paint in the same color, using the high gloss to create shiny strips or designs on top of a less reflective satin finish base coat. If a high gloss shine is not appropriate for the décor in your home, you may opt for a more subtle matte finish on the plywood but still keep wood showing through. Prepare your surface using sandpaper to make sure it is smooth; make sure you clean all of the dust before applying a primer coat. Semi-gloss can be a good choice for high-touch surfaces, like furniture pieces and cabinets. Additionally, since it’s durable and moisture-resistant, it can work well in kitchens and bathrooms. Usually, the sheen isn’t so dramatic as to be overwhelming, so it can be a better choice when you need to brighten up space or want to highlight trim subtly.

Staining plywood, particularly plywood with a good wood grain pattern, allows you to enrich the color of the final project.The sanding work on the plywood can be done by hand, but using an orbital sander will help to speed up the process. Always sand with the wood grain to avoid any cross-grain scratches that will show through the finish. The presence of binders usually determines a paint’s sheen. With less-reflective products, the amount of binder to pigment is lower. Types of Satin Finish Products Within each type, there are also different plywood grades, usually grades A through D, with grade D being the lowest grade and grade A being the top grade. Lightly sand the primed surface. Lightly sand the primer with 220-grit sandpaper. This is a light sanding to only smooth out any rough spots on the surface, not to remove the primer, so sanding by hand is preferable. It is good for all types of wood and can be used without a sealer, although it won’t last as long, making it a versatile finish for those looking for high shine.

Stir the gloss paint. Load the brush with gloss as shown in the picture and start painting in the middle and work outwards (as in step 8). Allow the gloss to flow out over the surface as you paint – don’t be tempted to over brush the paint or you’ll leave marks. Keep an eye out for runs in the paint (corners are particularly prone to them) and brush them out immediately.Remember to ask yourself how much paint do I need before beginning any work, as you don't want to keep stopping and starting once the painting is underway. How to Paint Over Gloss: A Step-by-Step Guide Plywood is a surprisingly versatile material that can be transformed to look elegant, modern, retro, or even look nothing like wood at all. Once Gloss:Single coat paint. Does not need an undercoat if applied over an existing painted surface. Primer is crucial before painting the plywood. It seals the wood fibers so that they do not absorb all the paint when it is applied. Primers come in different colors, which can affect the final color of the paint you will apply.
