Cabinet Preparation and Paint Properties Discussion

all right we're going to be getting ready to spray this cabinet now i've used aquacode it's a it was a real grainy oak cabinet i used aquacoat to eliminate the grain hopefully we got all the grain eliminated after our first coat a sprand we're gonna see how much of that grain is left and see if it's acceptable if we need to put more aquacoat on after the second coat but we're going to be using another um item i have not ever used about and i hear a whole lot about it from do-it-yourself painters and that is the titan control max sprayer now the titan control max rare they have a whole line of them i've got a really small one right here and we're gonna see if we can actually spray a cabinet and get really good finishes with it i get a lot of questions can you add a whip to that control max sprayer and we did come up with a conversion kit that you can put a whip on it now and we're going to show you that but it's a little inexpensive sprayer it's a 2 i believe around 200 can you get an amazing cabinet finish on uh with a 200 spare we're going to find out here shortly so we've got um benjamin moore advanced once again i've never used it it's a waterborne um interior alkyd paint so it's like a oil modified acrylic paint and it has an extended dry time so it dry it takes about four to six hours to dry to the touch so with that long dry time that's what gives it the ability to for you to be able to brush and roll it if you're a do-it-yourselfer or even if you're a professional painter accustomed to brushing rolling and that long dry time gives the paint the ability and the roping caused by or the stippling caused by a roller or a brush it gives it ability to lay out with today's technology and water-based paints most water-based paints dry so fast they don't really have time to level out that's why you get stippling and roping from brushes or rollers you can add latex additives to the paint like xim latex extender it could extend the dry time and and help you eliminate brush strokes but this paint was um i believe designed specifically for that to get spray-like finishes with a product that you brush and roll but once again we're going to be spraying it i'm going to be using a tritech a 208 tip because i just got small face frames of spray right here on the large sides i'll probably switch to a 410 just to give tri-tech i'm going to be testing out the tri-tech tips here they're fine finish tips the gold tips so we're going to put those to the test right along…
