PAINT TERMS Flashcards
-general class of resinous polymers derived from esters, amides or other
Acrylic
-paint used on new plaster, durable contact with lime
Alkali Resistant
-mechanical bonding of a coating to a rough surface, chemical bonding
Anchoring
-metal paint designed to inhibit corrosion
Anti-Corrosive Paint
- contains toxic compounds
- kills any fungi attempting to feed from it
Anti-Fungus Paints
-paint that contains a grip, grippable surface
Anti-Slip Paint
-process of artificially ageing paint
Antiquing
-imitation of bamboo is achieved by painting
Bambooing
-undercoat staining through the topcoat
Bleeding
- bubbles or blisters in the paint film
- caused by water vapor
Blistering
- milky opalescence in lacquer, caused by lack of compatibility in the paint or being applied in cold or wet weather
- moisture in the lacquer
Blushing
- powdery deposit being formed on a dry paint film surface
- caused by over thinning
Chalking
- diluted layer of paint
- applied over a based coat to provide a wash or “glimpse” of color
Color Wash
-imitates old peeling paint provides a cobweb look
Crackle Glaze Paint
- imitate the crazing of very old varnish
- achieves finer crazing
- more expensive method
Craquelure
-scratching plaster to prepare the surface for the next coat
Deviling
-type of paint made by mixing the pigment with glue or size
Distemper
-making a finish looks older, worn or rugged
Distressing
-making a finish looks older, worn or rugged
Distressing
-a chemical preparation added to paint which causes it to dry quickly
Drier
- white fluffy surface deposit that is caused by salts in the plaster being drawn to the surface
- dry brushing will remove it
Efflorescence
- now referred to semi-gloss plaint
- finish midsheen between matt and gloss
Eggshell Paint
- final coat
- protection layer from weather, moisture, knock and chips
Finishing Coat
- paint or varnish lifting away from the surface in flakes because of a breakdown of the adhesion
- occurs when painting damp surfaces, especially timber, or painting powdery surfaces
Flaking
-method of painting on wet plaster with tempera colors
Fresco
- this is essentially the application of a gold finish
- achieved by applying gold leaf
Gilding
-putty used to set glass in window frames and to fill nail holes and cracks
Glazing Compound
-painted imitation of the fiber lines of wood
Graining
-swelling and standing up of the wood grain caused by absorbed water and solvents
Grain Raising
- type of varnishing
- imitate the lacquering work from the east
Japanning
- glossy type of paint finish
- applied by spray
Lacquering
- layering of numerous coats of varnish, sanding between coats
- lustrous effect
Lacquering (Japanning)
-paint is passed through the voids that surround the design
Negative Stencil
- first coat of paint that is applied to a raw (unpainted) surface
- “stick” to the substrate and provide adhesion for the remaining coats of paint
Primer
- is wrinkles occurring in the paint film as it dries
- happens because the paint has been applied too thickly
Rivelling
-solvent used to thin coatings
Thinners
