LOML wants a glossy black finish on a simple entertainment center. Solid pine that I built 25 years ago. Been in storage and she wants in our son's room. Will be used for books and possibly a TV if his grades get better. Open upper with doors on the lower section.
I brushed (no spray set up) on three layers of oil primer and have been sanding with ROS 220 grit. I am allowing 24 hours drying time between coats and before sanding. Can says 2 hours. I have sanded some between each coat. Paper loads up quickly and too often the paint rolls up exposing the wood. This is different then sanding through the paint. The rolled paint is soft like it was not dry or I melted it. When I looked this morning, reviewing last nights work, the rolled paint was harder like it had dried. This is paint that has been on a week or so for the early applications.
I used a 3" angled Purdy for the first application and then tried a cheap foam brush for the later applications. The foam brush gave me a smoother surface.
My plan is to apply glossy black enamel with a flow enhancer added. At least two layers.
1)Why am I getting so much build up or loading on the sand paper as I use the ROS?
2)What is happening with the rolled up areas? This is making life very difficult here.
Thanks in advance for the help.
