Accepted Answer

Eggshell paint offers a smooth finish and a subtle sheen that is slightly more glossy than flat paint. It is a popular choice for walls as it is easier to maintain and clean than flat paint, but not as shiny as semigloss or high gloss.

Question 5

The rule for using almost all roller covers is: the smoother the surface to be painted, the longer the nap; the rougher the surface, the shorter the nap.

Accepted Answer

The rule is actually the opposite: the smoother the surface to be painted, the shorter the nap; the rougher the surface, the longer the nap. This ensures proper paint application and texture.

Question 6

Which of the following rollers would be best suited for an oil-based paint?&#10;A) Nylon&#10;B) Polyester&#10;C) Lamb's wool&#10;D) Nylon/polyester combination

Accepted Answer

Lamb's wool rollers are best suited for oil-based paint because they hold more paint and distribute it evenly on surfaces with rough textures. Nylon and polyester rollers are better suited for water-based paints as they do not hold as much paint and can create bubbles or streaks with oil-based paints. Nylon/polyester combination rollers are a compromise between the two and can work for both water-based and oil-based paints, but may not be as effective as lamb's wool for oil-based paints.

Question 7

Flat brushes are great for angular or narrow surfaces.

Accepted Answer

Flat brushes are best suited for covering broad surfaces and creating bold strokes, not for angular or narrow surfaces where angled or round brushes might be more appropriate.

_____ has a paper substrate, and the decorative layer is printed directly on this substrate.&#10;A) True paper&#10;B) Vinyl-coated paper&#10;C) Coated fabric&#10;D) Anaglypta

Accepted Answer

True paper has a paper substrate, and the decorative layer is printed directly on this substrate. Vinyl-coated paper and coated fabric, on the other hand, have a layer of vinyl or other material coated onto the substrate before printing the decorative layer. Anaglypta is embossed wallpaper, not a type of substrate.
