Edges of veneered panels
The touch up is carried out with colored formulas with which must have high covering power and rapid drying. The quantities needed for retouching are very small, and it is convenient to use a PEN. After retouching, we recommend proceeding with a FINISHING operation, by glazing with transparent varnish applied by spray or marker.
The use of markers is ideal for retouching edges, as small surfaces require extremely small quantities. With a Holzmarker – Colour Edging Pen, you can touch up several meters. The retouch formulation must have excellent adhesion and quick drying properties, to allow the manipulation and handling of the retouched products in a short time. The formulation of the retouching product is therefore based on reactive acrylic polymers, obtained from non-renewable sources. The small quantities contained in the felt-tip pen determine an impact on the environment and health, in terms of consumption and exposure respectively, which is almost negligible and a shareable compromise.
The evaluation of the color must be done carefully, it is useful to use a series of markers, in order to choose the most suitable one, and make two retouches.
After touching up the color, we recommend proceeding with a fixing and masking operation by applying a glaze of transparent HOLZSPRAY paint with the spray technique. The operation begins in the retouched area and then faded by moving away at the surfaces.
The gloss of the varnish and the dilating effect can be modulated in the shading phase or better in the selection phase of the concentration of acrylic resin in the spray mixture (HOLZSPRAY, HOLZSPRAY COLOR, HOLZSPRAY HS), and subsequently in the degree of gloss of the acrylic paint, which can vary from 10 ° to 100 ° gloss.
Surface scratch touch up on PVC
PVC is a plastic material, and any scratches can expose internal lower layers of a different color than the color of the external surface. The retouching operation begins with the coloring of the scratch in depth using the Graining Pen – Extra sharp tip marking pen. The next step is the grouting of the scratch with STUCCORAPIDO soft wax, to then complete the intervention with a FINISHING operation, by glazing with transparent paint applied by spray.
The coloring of scratches on plastic materials can be carried out with PROFIX PEN thin tip markers. The use of extra fine tips is necessary to be able to intervene in thin and deep scratches. The formulation of the retouching product is therefore based on reactive acrylic polymers, obtained from non-renewable sources. The small quantities contained in the felt-tip pen determine an impact on the environment and health, in terms of consumption and exposure respectively, which is almost negligible and a shareable compromise.
The evaluation of the color must be done carefully, it is useful to use a series of markers, in order to choose the most suitable one, and make two touchs up.
The filling of a scratch on PVC can be carried out with STUCCORAPIDO soft wax. The use of soft wax is recommended when the use of wax requires heat and temperature with specific instruments, and any contact with the PVC would cause surface alterations if not melting of the surface. It is also advisable to make an accurate choice of color, focusing the lighter shades of the “synthetic” grain of the PVC. Before proceeding with the application of soft wax, it is necessary to sand the surface with very fine grain, however after having touched up the color of the scratch with a fine tip marker. Use a steel spatula, forcefully fill the scratch to obtain a compact structure. It is preferable to proceed with grouting immediately after applying the marker, to improve the adhesion of the wax with the PVC. After the application remove the excess of wax with sandpaper, very fine grain.
After touching up the color and grouting with soft wax, we recommend proceeding with a fixing and masking operation by applying a transparent varnish HOLZSPRAY with a spray technique. The operation begins in the retouched area and then faded by moving away to the adjacent surfaces.
The gloss of the varnish and the dilating effect can be modulated in the shading phase or better in the selection phase of the concentration of acrylic resin in the spray mixture (HOLZSPRAY, HOLZSPRAY COLOR, HOLZSPRAY HS, and subsequently in the degree of gloss of the acrylic paint, which can vary from 10 ° to 100 ° gloss.
The application of the varnish, besides improving the aesthetic aspect, increases the abrasion resistance and the duration of the touching up.
