Furniture Lacquer

How to varnish Furniture Yourself

Painting with acrylic varnish is quick and easy. Always start by preparing the piece of furniture to be coated. It must be clean, free of grease and even. Therefore, repair any cracks and holes after cleaning. Then roughen the surface with sandpaper. For large surfaces, such as cabinets, you can also use a sander. Then tape all surfaces that are not to be painted. Also, protect the immediate surroundings with a suitable covering.

Then apply a suitable primer. On wood, you can apply EPODEX ACRYLIC PROTECT mixed with 5% water in a thin layer and let it cure. For metal furniture, use a rust protection primer and for plastic furniture, use a plastic primer as an adhesion primer. This step is important because it prevents material loss through seepage and guarantees an even result.

After the primer has dried, mix your EPODEX ACRYLIC PROTECT product. Then apply the lacquer with a brush or foam roller in a first, thin coat. Allow the layer to dry and repeat the process if necessary. When the desired opacity has been achieved, allow the varnish to cure properly. Afterwards, you can load the surfaces as usual.
