Oil paint: advantages and disadvantages

This type of paint was widespread twenty years ago. At the moment of time, this type of paint is practically not used, since oil paint has a harmful effect on human health.

However, along with disadvantages, oil paint is able to boast of a huge number of advantages, which include its resistance and saturation of the resulting shade. This paint does not pass the air, so the walls painted in the room will fog a lot.

However, it is precisely due to its own impregnation air that paint is able to stay on any surface for a fairly long period of time, while completely without losing its external qualities. Oil paints are produced in a huge number of colors, so that it will not be difficult to choose the necessary shade. In addition, this type of paints can be mixed with each other to get a less or more active color.

At the moment, oil paints are used mainly for external work. They hold perfectly on various structures made of metal or wood.

Before staining, oil paint must be mixed hard, since with prolonged storage it is capable of a little delay. For mixing, a small piece of a wooden beam or even an ordinary wooden stick is perfect, from which it is necessary to remove the bark.
