Cards in this deck (11)
- 1if you are using permanent going methods whats important to do before final assembly?double check the fit of all the parts
do a dry-run before glueing making sure all the parts fit properly
avoiding getting half way through glueing and finding that a part won't go on properly - 2what do you also need to think about before assembling (when using permanent)the ORDER e.g. you would put all shelves in first before putting top on or you wouldn't be able to get access
- 3what important about joint areas?before glueing, soldering, welding etc, it's vital to get the joint areas clean - wipe aways any dust and make sure they're free from dirt and oil etc
after cleaning it's important not to touch areas to be joined (fingerprints can leave enough grease on the surface to stop the joint from working properly) - 4whats a good idea to do about painting when assembling?it's easier to clean up or paint before final assembly as some areas would be difficult to get too otherwise e.g. like a box it would be hard to paint inside if it was already assembled
- 5what do you need to know when clamping?parts that have been glued together often need to be clamped together for a while before it dries, or soldered, welded etc..
removing clamps too early can break the joint sometimes need to be clamped for 12 hrs - 6giving something a finish, does what to the product?makes it looks better and protects it from moisture and dirt
- 7why might a finish be applied before the parts are put together?as it's easier to reach some parts then (like difficult corners)
- 8what do you need to do before applying the finish, how?remove any visible tool marks and blemishes with files, emery cloths, glass paper
- 9what do you need to do before you paint it, how?clean the surface first to remove any grease and dust can do this with a white spirit cloth
- 10why is it important that you pick the right paint?as different paints are produced for different materials and for different situations
by picking the wrong type it might not stick to the material and could even damage it, especially when painting some plastics - 11tell me about cellulose paint, why its good and not so good?generally applied to metal, it's sprayed on and looks great because it give v. smooth finish
however its expensive because spraying means that much of the paint doesn't end up on the product
