Common misconception 1: odorless is environmentally friendly wood paint
A lot of people willWood lacquerThe smell is similar to that of harmful substances, but this is actually a wrong concept. Because it is possible to achieve a clean or low-odor wood paint by adding flavors or using low-odor raw materials, it is not a standard to correctly distinguish environmentally friendly wood paints. The real environmentally friendly wood paint uses water as a thinner, non-flammable and non-explosive, low VOC, and does not contain free TDI such as formaldehyde.
Common misconception 2: All kinds of wood materials are applicable
Different materials of wood paint have different characteristics, and different furniture uses are different, and the suitable wood paint is also different. It's like wood flooring needs a very hard and wear-resistant paint film, so polyurethaneWood lacquerIt can well meet its use requirements. Cabinets, desks, etc. can use one-component water-based wood paint, which is environmentally friendly and affordable. Because the nitro paint coating is thin, it can well reflect the texture of the wood surface, and the surface of the wood feels relatively smooth after painting, and the paint traces will not be seen, and the true texture of the wood can be fully retained, so it is mainly used for various wooden handicrafts at present.
Common misunderstanding three: heavy and light quality
Many people know that cheap goods are not good, but everyone has a fluke mentality, thinking that they can buy good and cheap things. Although the money spent is less, the lacquer bought back makes the living environment worrying and endangers the health of the family. Wood lacquerThe technical difficulty is relatively large compared to latex paint, so there are fewer prominent brands on the market at present, and it is recommended that you pay more attention to the safety indicators of the product when purchasing.

A lot of consumers are seeingWood lacquerWhen the color card is used, it is thought that the color card is the same as the actual sprayed furniture color, but in fact, the color of the real effect is related to the substrate of the wood, as well as the spraying technique and the number of times. After the furniture is painted, the color will be darker under the reflection of light, and it is recommended that if you prefer a lighter color, it is best to choose a lighter color card. If you prefer a dark color, you can choose a color that matches the color card.
Common misunderstanding 6: There is no estimate of the amount of paint used in advance
In order to avoid insufficient paint when buying paint, consumers should buy as much as possible, which will not only increase the cost of decoration, but also cause waste of paint and pollute the environment. Usually the area of the door and door frame is about 5, and the area of each panel is about 3. It is generally carried out by the method of "3 primers and 2 topcoats".Wood lacquerThe calculation formula of paint consumption: the amount of paint used in wood paint (kg) = (the number of panels used 3 + the number of doors and door frames 5) the number of construction times and the theoretical coating rate of a single pass (kg).
