Tree simulator: Photo, application instructions

In the country and in a private house, wood is actively used: floors, windows, doors, furniture, arbors and decor elements. And no matter how beautiful the tree in its natural form, under the influence of time and external factors, it quickly loses its attractiveness and consumer qualities: under the action of the Sun fades and heat; From moisture can be deformed; When reproducing bacteria - rot. Therefore, if you want to preserve the structure and a decent view of the wooden products for a long time, they should be treated with a verse.

What is a tree for wood

Morilka (also called "Beyz") is a special liquid composition to give wood of the desired color (toning). Usually these are colors imitating noble wood species. But the colorful toning is possible in accordance with the idea of \u200b\u200bthe designer.

The main difference between the simulators from the paints and enamels is that the tinting elements of the impregnation penetrate into the woods and paint it from the inside, while maintaining the visible texture and pattern of fibers. However, an opaque film is not formed on the surface of the part, as it happens when paint processing.

In addition to the aesthetic function of giving the wood of a noble and attractive species, the veil is also performing a number of practical tasks:

• wood protection against moisture;
• protection against the destructive effects of ultraviolet;
• prevention of reproduction of bacteria that destroy the tree.

As a result of the use of the veneer, you can extend the life of wooden parts several times.

Types of vehicles in composition

Manufacturers produce vehicles for wood that differ in their foundation. Choose a suitable composition for your case based on what result and what time you need to get. Each composition has its pros and cons.

Water based medelide. In specialized stores, you can buy such a veil in the form of a ready-to-eat liquid, or a powder that you already before treating a tree will need to be dissolved in warm water. The total intensity of the color of the coating will depend on the ratio of the amount of powder and water. Before applying, the aqueous veil should be strain that insoluble dye particles do not fall on wood.

The big plus impregnation on a water basis is the lack of a sharp smell. It is convenient for use indoors. The aqueous tint liquid perfectly emphasizes the natural pattern of wood: it highlights some fibers and hides others. For complete drying, the composition will be needed 12-14 hours. But as for the minuses of the aqueous veil - it has a property of lifting wood fibers, because of this, the tree after drying turns out to be rough and less protected from moisture. To cope with the problem you need:

• or carry out the grinding of the already processed surface after drying the composition;
• or moisten the surface with ordinary water, give water to absorb them, when the fibers rise to the wood, and then cover it with a verse.

Morida on a alcohol basis or based on a solvent (nitromorilka). It becomes clear from the title that this type of impregnation is based on alcohol (denature) or a special solvent. As well as the previous version of the veil (on water basis) is available in the form of a ready-made composition or powder that will need to dissolve. After the distribution of the veil, the coloring substances are quickly absorbed, and the alcohol / solvent is destroyed, so the time of complete drying of the alcohol impregnation is only 20-30 minutes. The technology of application of such a verse is connected with rapid drying: it is necessary to apply it quickly and evenly to avoid the appearance of spots and irregularities on the finished product. It is the most convenient to apply alcohol and nitromoril with a special sprayer, not manually.

Morida on an oil base. The coloring agent in such impregnation is dissolved in special oils (most often it is linseed oil). It is due to the basis, this type of means is the most environmentally friendly (that is, it does not distinguish any harmful substances), so it can be used to handle furniture parts without doubt, even such as parts of kitchen furniture and furniture for the children's room. This is the most popular view of the artworks:

• it dries pretty quickly - in 2-3 hours;
• deeply impresses wood;
• does not raise wood fibers, so the material is reliably protected from moisture penetration;
• applied evenly without much effort;
• the color of the treated surface does not fade over long years.

A water base produces acrylic veneers, which, thanks to the diverse palette, allow you to reproduce any necessary shade of color. This is a new generation of impregnations, which eliminated the shortcomings of the usual types of impregnation. But today this impregnation is the most expensive.

• acrylic veil dries very quickly;
• does not smell;
• does not highlight toxic evaporation;
• color is very stable (saved many years);
• locals exactly and does not form spots;
• reliably protects the tree from moisture exposure.

Wax vehicle is the newest technology in the field of wood processing. The substance is a soft wax mass. This impregnation does not penetrate the depth of wood, and creates a protective layer on its surface. Waxing veil is not recommended to use as a basis for two-component varnishes. The wax composition is rubbed into the surface of the product with a soft tissue. When applied, the appearance of spots and raising the fibers of wood is excluded.

Tree simulator: color

Morilka not only protects the tree from rapid wear, but also gives him a wonderful noble color. Since the structure of the tree itself is in itself heterogeneous, then dense fibers are impregnated with a veneer to a lesser extent than others - that is why after drying the impregnation on products not only remains, but the natural drawing of wood is better allocated.

Modern impregnations can paint wood into any color, but the most popular remains "woody" gamma shades. Each name corresponds to a certain tree species: oak, tick, pine, nut, mahogany, plum, red tree, etc. If you failed to find the appropriate color among the finished shades, you can mix a few tones yourself.

When in a specialized store you will select a color, pay attention, first of all, not on its name or photo on the packaging of the veil, and ask the consultant to provide you with samples of wood covered with a verse of concrete shades.

The fact is that different manufacturers of the same names can have different shades. In order for the result processing the parts is not unexpected, carefully consider the samples.

The intensity of the color largely depends on the tree breed, which you are going to process: its natural color, density, porosity and texture. So the coniferous species of trees are not very well absorbed the veil due to the abundance of resin, but deciduous, on the contrary, are impregnated as much as possible. For example, if you will handle the maple and a red wood, the color of the latter will turn out to be much darker (since the red tree itself is very darker). And if the impregnation will be covered, for example, made of maple and pine, the final color of the maple details will be more intense.

White verse is used to create a fashionable effect of the elevated wood, for example, "bleached oak" or "Arctic oak". Also using white verse can create products with ancient effect. Then the first layer is applied with a white veil on a water basis, and after drying it, the pores in the structure of the tree are filled with dark impregnation on an oil or wax basis.

It should be noted that not all kinds of verses have a pronounced color: there are transparent compositions that are applied solely to protect wood from destruction.

Tree simulator: how to apply

You need to choose the method of applying the veil, depending on what kind of impregnation you purchased (on an aqueous, alcohol or oil basis), as well as from the size of the part and, of course, your convenience.

The veil can be applied with a brush, swab or paint sprayer. If you need to handle a large area, then the brush it will make those so convenient: first, it will certainly be divorced from the villi brush, and secondly, it will take too much time.

When the area area is large, and the simulator on aqueous or alcohol is quickly dries, it is easiest to use a paint sprayer. In this case, choose a storm a little lighter of the required color, because In the process of applying its layer will be thicker. When working with a sprayer, do not forget to protect other surfaces with a film.

When applying oil veil, an excellent result is obtained when the tampon is operation (for its manufacture, take a large piece of foam rubber or wool, wrapped with a soft cotton cloth).

If you prefer to work with a brush, then for water and alcohol compositions, choose a tool with synthetic bristles, for aqueous, alcohol and nitromorillee, is suitable for a brush from natural bristles. Buy high-quality brushes that will not leave a pile on the surface being processed.

So, you chose the desired color and decided on the tool for staining. Now, to find out how many impregnation layers you will need to apply to your wooden parts to get the desired color, make a test screens (make a color test).

• take a small plank from the same tree of wood as the main parts for staining;
• carefully polish the surface, as you will do it with the main details;
• apply the first layer of the veil to the entire plate-sample and let him dry completely;
• then apply the second layer of impregnation, but already on 2/3 of the plank;
• when the second layer is dry, apply the third sample for 1/3;
• compare the intensity of the color in each of the cases (one, two and three layers of the veil) and choose the best for yourself.

Tree simulator: Preparation of parts for sea

Treatment is subjected to an uncoated tree: or a new board or wooden part, with which the old coating is completely removed.

1. Absolutely dry wood needs to be aligned and polished by sandpaper (skurt). Try not to press the details and direct movement along the fibers - this will avoid the appearance of unnecessary recesses and scratches. The fact is that if scratches and will seem insignificant on the cheese trees, then after its processing, the defect will be very noticeable. Grinding should continue about half an hour, during this time the surface will become smooth, and the pores will reveal in the wood for deep penetration of impregnation.
2. When the grinding is complete, remove all dust and fibers with a vacuum cleaner.
3. Declaring the surface with a gasoline or solvent White Spirit.
4. Moisten a little wood with water. On the wet surface, the veil of any type is better.

Tree simulator: Additional processing of coniferous breeds

In the wood of coniferous rocks contain a large number of resins. After processing the vessel, the resinous parts of the part can manifest themselves with ugly spots. Therefore, before applying impregnation, it is necessary to desighte the tree. To do this, use one of the compositions:

• in 1 liter of warm water (60 degrees), dissolve 60 g of calcined soda and 50 g of potassium carbonate;
• mix 250 g of acetone with 750 ml of water.

After you prepare the solution, apply it on the boards using a soft cloth or a large brush, so that the tree is well wet. It is preferable to treat the surface 2-3 times with a slight break. Then leave the composition to affect half an hour. Rinse the parts with warm soap water. Only after the parts are fully dried away from the water, you can proceed to their further processing - tinted by the veil.

Tree simulator: Application Instructions

1. Shake the jar with the verse so that it mixes evenly.
2. Heat the composition to body temperature. It will help the substances of impregnation deeper into the pores of the tree.
3. A little moisten your chosen tool (brush, roller, tampon) in the veil, so that the substance does not flow. If you use a sprayer - pour the tinting composition into a special container.
4. If you need to handle a vertical surface, then it is better to do it from the bottom up. So, if small leaks are formed, they will be less noticeable, and they will be easier to neutralize them.
5. For the burning of the horizontal part, first spend the brush along the fibers, then across and again along. So you will achieve a uniform coating.
6. Distribute the impregnation gently and watch it to go uniformly and not glass.
7. However, consider that the tree should be impregnated well, and an extra substance (which is not absorbed) will later be deleted.
8. Conduct processing quickly and without interruptions to avoid the appearance of spots.
9. To get the desired color, apply the desired number of layers of the veil. At the same time, before applying the second layer, the first must dry out.

Morid for wood: Waste

Wash is the final part of the wood processing by the verse. It is carried out when the impregnating composition is completely dry. In the process of washing, an excess of tinting agent is removed. Which does not have a tree. After washing, the item will look completely different: texture and glitter of the treated surface will appear.

For washing, you will need a large amount of acetone and a thick bulk brush.

1. Tilt the detail at a small angle.
2. Install the item so that under it there is some absorbing material (for example, paper towels).
3. Water brush in acetone.
4. "Sweet" an excessory brush from top to bottom, so that it is glass along with acetone.
5. Continue until the detail becomes homogeneous.
6. When the verse ceases to go, the wash is completed.
7. Give the details to dry from acetone. And then you can apply the final coating - varnish.
