African Paint Manufacturers Associations (SAPMA) has rolled out online
training for retail paint sellers.
“Basic spray systems for DIY to professional applicators, need basic skills
and training all the way to more technical spray airless / air-assisted systems
and then onto highly specialised coating methods like curtain coating for
bulk manufacture plants,” Lawson says.
“The SAPMA training programme is a webinar that teaches how to paint.
Once they pass they move one to the next module. The modules offer
training in painting internal and external plastered walls; the painting of
gypsum board ceilings; the painting of palisade fencing; the painting of
exterior walls; and the varnishing and sealing of external wood. Once all the
videos have been viewed and assessed, an overall assessment is conducted,”
says executive director of SAPMA, Deryck Spence.
It is important to use the right product for the right application.
“Deck sealers are generally very specialised products and are marked as
suitable for application to a deck,” says Greeff. He adds that characteristics
that you should look out for on an indoor product include fast-drying, good
water repellent properties, good resistance to scratching and in the case of a
sauna, low odour.
“As with choosing the correct tool for the job, it is advisable to use the
best technique for the job. For large shop-fitting projects like furniture
applications and saunas if varnish or paint is used, the surface can be
sprayed or applied with paint brushes or rollers. For oil systems the
application can be done by hand using an application pad as per
instructions,” advises Greeff.
Oils available for treating timber include teak, raw linseed, boiled linseed,
modified linseed and tung oil. “Hard wax oils are the new generation of
triple coat applications. The oil doesn’t penetrate (or it penetrates very
little) into the surface of the wood and keeps the natural look and feel of the
wood with the option to add colour,” he s
