    Gluing Walnut to Latex Painted Plywood

    I've got some walnut circles (3" diameter) I'm going to glue to a freshly painted (latex) piece of plywood. I assume normal wood glue won't work well, unless I sand the paint off the area I am going to glue. If I decide not to sand it, should I just use gorilla glue or contact cement or would...

    Thinning Latex for HVLP

    Hi guys, I have a Fuji Q4 Pro HVLP system and I'm going to start painting my new kitchen cabinets (poplar and MDF). I hope to use the same paint as I did on the trim in our house, Behr Premium. I know I'll have to thin the paint down but since I've never done this before, I'm not sure where to...

    Latex primer under oil-based paint?

    I've got some oil-based porch & deck paint. And I have some latex-based wall primer. I know there was a post on this in the past few months, but my google-fu has failed me. The paint can says to prepare wood surfaces with an enamel undercoater. My wood already has paint on it, which I had...

    Spraying latex with the Earlex 5000

    First of all, I'm no expert on spray finishes. With the exception of the spray can, this is my first time I haven't used a brush, rag or roller. So keep that in mind. I've been looking at getting a spray gun for a while now. I haven't progressed much beyond BLO and polyurethane, which is nice...

    Milk paint vs. odorless latex

    I want to odor seal a piece of plain 1/2" plywood to go in the bottom of a blanket chest. It will be the sub-floor for a 3/4" aromatic cedar t&g liner. Can I use some of today's modern "odorless" latex primers or paints instead of milk paint? Would 1 coat of primer be sufficient for the edges...

    Latex Stain

    The only thing I use oil-base paint on any more is my tools, or metal. Anything else I use laytex. Low odor and water cleanup is great. First hit on this a few years ago, when I thinned latex down to get a tarnished copper effect, came out great. I'm making some shilouette chess pieces...

    Old Latex paint use

    Before you sticker green wood take some old latex paint and dump in in an old container that is as big as your wood, and dip the ends in the paint. This picture is two years old with no spites.

    White latex paint or water based pigmented lacquer

    After spending 7 hours spraying a large project with one coat of primer and 3 coats of latex I can not help but wonder if I could do it with less coats and get better results using a white pigmented water base lacquer. I recall John talking about it in his finshing class and was wondering if...

    Finish for 100% acrylic latex paint

    I have made a small upstairs office in our house and now I'm in the final finishing stages. My question is in regard to the final finish for the bookcase and desks made of MDF, birch plywood, and poplar. Initially I applied a single coat of primer and have followed that with 8 coats of Behr 100%...
