Varnish will dry slower in humid or cold conditions, and there’s more chance of dust and dirt settling on your project before it’s fully dry, which means you’ll have an imperfect finish.If working indoors, use the heating to get the room temperature somewhere between 20 and 25°C. If the room is too hot, the varnish will dry too fast and messy bubbles might form Consider whether the surface you're painting is smooth or textured, indoors or outdoors, and what type of finish you want. This will help you decide on a roller pile type (i.e., short for smooth indoor surfaces, medium for lightly textured indoor surfaces and long for heavily textured outdoor surfaces) or the brush bristle type (i.e., use a fine-tip brush for a smooth, brush-mark free finish).Prep the workspace by removing (or covering) nearby furniture and objects, and cover the floor with a drop sheet to prevent paint spills. 2. Clean and Sand the Surface Scuttles and trays: scuttles are small containers you can use to decant small amounts of paint to make it easy to carry paint up a ladder when cutting in. Paint trays are used with paint rollers to load the paint onto the roller sleeve.

Before the main varnish is applied, you need to seal the wood’s surface. Fortunately, the varnish itself can act as your sealer. Proceed to thin an adequate amount of varnish to 50 percent by adding either gum turpentine or mineral spirits in a ratio of 1:1. Uniformly mix the two and strain twice into an open container where you’ll be dipping your brush. The cheapest rollers on the market are made of natural or synthetic sponge and are advertised as ideal for walls and ceilings. However, they are only ideal to test the colour. The texture of the sponge leaves behind hundreds of air bubbles that are hard to cover. Varnish can be applied in any of three ways: by brush, with a roller and pad, or by spraying. Brushing is a time-tested technique and many high-quality brushes are available.Short pile paint rollers have a pile that's around 6-8mm in length. They're designed to apply paint onto smooth, flat surfaces, leaving a fine, untextured finish. The length of the pile means they don't drip much while painting. These are one of the best rollers for painting walls. Rollers designed for glossing have short piles, as do some emulsion and multipurpose rollers. Remove any existing varnish or finish with a suitable paint and varnish remover / stripper. Sand the wood to remove any surface imperfections, then use a damp cloth to remove any debris and let the wood dry The length of the hair also matters. Short-pile rollers are ideal to apply emulsions to smooth plaster walls, either new or previously painted. A long pile roller performs better on a rough or textured wall.
