1) Common tools: tweezers, file, scraper (scraper), paintbrush, wood grain brush
2) Filling and sanding materials: 502 glue, wood powder, sandpaper, shredded cotton cloth, cotton padding, fine steel shot
3) Tool usage:
File: Used to remove excess glue and hardened edges after filling, restoring the repaired area to its original shape. Simply scrape off the excess.
Scraper: Used to sand the wavy areas after glue filling, ensuring the filled area is completely flat with the rest of the furniture. Use a scraper to smooth the filled area.
Sandpaper: Used for repeated sanding, applying glue and sanding again to make the filled area completely smooth.
Cotton padding, steel shot: Used to sand sandpaper marks or polish.
Shredded cotton cloth: Used for color mixing, coloring, and polishing. Apply melted shellac to the pointed end of the cotton cloth, then apply pigment powder and color water. Apply a slightly lighter shade, similar to the paint color of the furniture being repaired, and drag it back and forth in a semi-circular motion, using light pressure. The first and second contact surfaces should not overlap. After covering the repaired area once, pause briefly, then repeat the above steps. When the paint color of the repaired area matches the overall paint surface, use a gloss enhancer or shellac water to bring out the shine, aiming for an effect similar to the furniture's original gloss. Finally, apply polishing wax.
1) Furniture repair and filling should be smooth and even, without causing deformation
. 2) Color mixing, coloring, and polishing of the repaired area. Based on observation of the furniture, it is necessary to identify the paint color, mixed color, two-layer color, or three-layer color, and then treat accordingly.
3) Gloss treatment must be based on the furniture's gloss level, including sanding, polishing, and applying gloss enhancer. Auxiliary materials can include wax and abrasives.
4) Filling operation:
First, apply 502 glue to the area to be filled. Fill the area that needs repair with wood shavings, apply 502 glue, and let it dry. Then use a file to trim any protruding parts or excess material, restoring it to its original shape. Sand with sandpaper, repeatedly applying 502 glue, and using a scraper or sanding tool to make the filled area absolutely smooth and flat. If you cannot sand it flat accurately, you can wrap sandpaper around the flat surface of the scraper before sanding the area to be filled. Repeat the process until it is completely flat.
5) Identifying furniture paint colors:
Mixed colors: These are three colors combined in a balanced and complementary way, in a saturated state. This type of color is the easiest to mix and apply. It is a one-time process, but the emphasis must be on one color. For example, when applying a green hue, green is used as a protective color.
Double-layer colors: These refer to a base color and a top color that give a clear visual distinction, such as a yellow-red base color with black lines on the top layer, or green, brown, etc. These all require a base color, after evenly applying the color, a glossy finish to protect the paint surface, then the top color, and finally a gloss treatment.
Three-layer paint: This refers to a base color of any shade, a middle layer of any color pattern or speckles, and a top layer of a pure, light color with subtle reflections. Accurate color selection is crucial to avoid applying the wrong color layer, patterns, spots, or streaks. A glossy finish is then applied for protection. Finally, based on the furniture's surface color, a diluted color solution is used to bring out the top layer. A final coat of polish is applied for protection.
