Glossy surfaces lack what painters call "tooth,: or roughness, which gives the paint something to stick to. It does not take much to create tooth; A light sanding or use of a chemical deglosser will do the trick. When the surface has dulled and ceases to be reflective, it is ready to paint.<br /><br />To detect gloss, use a bright light with a reflector to shield your eyes.<br /><br />Fill gaps with trim and baseboards with paintable caulk ; after drying, sand all glossy areas lightly with 220-grit sandpaper. Use a sanding block for flat surfaces, a brass-wire brush for fluted surfaces. <br /><br />Remove the sanding or brushing residue with a damp rag or tack cloth.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://hstrial-oswingrant.homestead.com">http://hstrial-oswingrant.homestead.com</a><br /><a href="http://hstrial-oswingrant.homestead.com/about.html">http://hstrial-oswingrant.homestead.com/about.html</a><br /><a href="http://hstrial-oswingrant.homestead.com/information.html">http://hstrial-oswingrant.homestead.com/information.html</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6693166900672990794-9041759602103726400?l=removinggloss.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>oswingranthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14053695415608588640noreply@blogger.com0
