Introduction to Water-Based Coatings and Safety

this is paint live TV I'm Chrissy Idaho painter and I got a special guest with me today it's Louis hoso from surf prep and we are in California today and we just got done doing an academy or a course on uh doing finishes and what was that course about Louis um so introduction to Industrial wood Coatings essentially is kind of what I teach on so yeah so this is pretty exciting cuz I know um just on the news recently we had you know an explosion guys were painting with and spraying lacquers and there's a big explosion and these I flew all the way down here just to see these lacquer Coatings also to see your guys' Sanders the surf Sanders cuz I heard heard them bought them saw them at the PD show pdca show and they were absolutely amazing and so we were learning some of the the prepping systems prepping Bearwood doors to get them ready for these waterbased Coatings and then we were spraying with the all Apollo sprayers today so for me the liability when it comes to um using lacquers and I know I've sprayed lacquers for a lot of years and so of you abolutely and so now you've crossed over to using rener Coatings and so what is it with these Coatings that makes them safer and um and actually good enough for you to use yeah no absolutely so these are all water-based Coatings um the biggest difference is these are industrial wood coating so they're designed to dryy fast and have um you know a nice look to them and durability you know so the pre-cat lockers that you're used to using what I've used and my father and my grandfather have all used we're seeing the same durability and ease of use out of these water base and this was a door right here this was barewood right here and we took we sanded the door and then we sanded it with the guys's Sanders The Sur cup Sanders which sand cut really fast makes the sanding process really easy and then we shot two coats of the rener coating on top of that and then we put a glaze right a powder glaze a powder glaze and then and then a patina patina so is that the so is that the patina the color or um so they refer to it as the product so some people say powder glaze some people say patina some people say Breakaway glaze it's the style of and then we clear coated that and that was all done in one day absolutely and um how much time would it take to do that typically on um a cabinet door like this is it done in a day or is it so this morning uh we came in and I did the entire finishing schedule in one hour one hour
