Difference between Wood Primer and Wood Coating

A perfect premium look of a home comes from the wooden furniture. It not only offers a classy look but makes your home appear more natural. Although maintaining the wooden furniture to keep it in the best form for a long time can be a bit challenging task. That’s where you need wood primers and coatings. Primers protect the surface from household chemicals, dust, sun rays and water. But it’s essential to select the products from the best wood primers wholesalers or manufacturers and also understand the basic difference between wood primers and wood coating paints. Continue reading to find the differences in detail. 

Wood Primer

The preparatory coating that is added to the wooden surface before applying any other coating of paint is known as wood primer. The wooden surface can be wood or any other surface related to wood like plywood. When applied in the right way it serves multiple purposes. Below mentioned are the benefits of wood primers:

Applying wood primers increases the durability of the wooden surface. When you use good quality primer then it protects the wood and ensures better longevity.

Priming offers protection to the wood from pests as well as from harsh environmental factors like the chemicals of household cleaners. 

Unwanted stains can be avoided and it also improves the adhesion of the paint and as a result it lasts for longer. 

When primer is applied before painting then the paint is prevented from being absorbed and thus offers a better finish. 

For applying wood primers on fresh wood that has not been painted before, you should prefer high-quality latex or oil-based primer from a reliable wood primer wholesaler. The same is applicable when your surface is old and weathered. Just in that case, you have to prepare the surface by cleaning it with sandpaper. Apart from that make sure to wipe off the surface with a damp cotton cloth and allow it to dry completely before starting painting it. You should apply at least two coats by providing it sufficient time to dry in between. 

Wood Coating

Usually wood coating is also known as top coat and it is applied on the wooden surface to protect it from different environmental effects like water, sun, grease, dust and household chemicals. Often people confuse them with primers but the topcoats are clean polyurethane-based chemical solution that offers a glossy and matte finish to your wooden furniture. As a result, it improves the longevity of the paint that is applied over it. Even over-paint or varnish wood coating can be applied after completely removing the dirt particles and grease from it. Mostly, it is applied using a brush or spray machine. Make sure to apply two to three coats of it by allowing sufficient drying in between to get the best results. 

Be it wood primers or wood coatings the main purpose is to make the wooden surfaces better. So, always choose the products from reputed wood primer wholesalers so that you get the highest quality products. Only better quality products can ensure longevity and premium finish.

I think we should teach kids about panic attacks and PTSD and stuff in school.

I went to a corn maze and got peer pressured onto a haunted hayride as a teen. I had some sort of PTSD or something driven panic attack. I was sobbing with my eyes closed in the fetal position. Luckily my older sister was there to rub my back and protect me.

I remember her saying to one of the actors "If you touch them, i'll kill you." which is pretty intense for her, she's not generally violent.

It took me another decade to have language to talk about my experiences with anxiety and I still don't know all of my triggers for whatever the fuck my intense panic attack like things I experience actually are

I really think it would be helpful to people to know about this stuff

3 main enemies of wood furniture

Learning how to take care of your wood is all about understanding what things can put wood at most risk. While most wood types are regarded and tested as durable, this does not mean wood should be treated in a harsh and careless manner. It is even important to understand that many external factors come into play when we discuss taking care of wooden furniture, so here are some things you can look into and help keep your furniture safe.

https://sheenlac.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/imgENEMYsunlight.jpg

Natural sunlight

The ultraviolet rays from the sun can ruin the finish of your wooden furniture over time, and the polish is one of the most important things keeping your furniture from chipping and rotting. To avoid this, you can move your furniture away from direct sunlight or at least limit the exposure to sunlight as much as possible. By opting to drape furniture clothing over the wooden furniture or by rotating its placement in your home throughout the year will definitely help the wood polish to stay longer and protect the wooden furniture.

https://sheenlac.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/imgENEMYhumidity.jpg

Level of Humidity

Extreme levels of humidity can sometimes cause wood to swell up and warp. Therefore, it is key to maintain a zone in between too much and too little humidity. With very low humidity, it can cause the wood to lose moisture and shrink, while with extreme humidity wood tends to soak up the moisture and swell up. in order to avoid any splitting or cracking of wood over time, ensure that the humidity level stays balanced wherever the furniture is kept.

https://sheenlac.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/imgENEMYliquid.jpg

Liquid spills

It has been passed down from generations that placing a coaster underneath your drinks is absolutely necessary when dealing with a piece of wooden furniture and liquids, and this one has proved to be one of the most helpful suggestions. The thing with liquids is that tend to get soaked up by wood and leave a mark on the surface, which is something you want to avoid even if you are using the best wood polish in town! The water droplets could potentially cause rot and chipping, which is something you do not want for your wooden furniture. Hence it is very important to use coasters or saucers while placing liquids, this can even be substituted by placing a furniture mat and avoid liquid spills.

Now that you’re familiar with the top three enemies of wooden furniture, keep your eyes open and make the necessary arrangements they need. Although most woods are durable and can start strong for a longer period of time, there are some cases where they could appear damaged and would need repairs are done, which could cost you. Keep your furniture safe and your home happy!

High-Quality Industrial Furniture Paint & Wood Coating

Industrial wood coating and furniture paint are essential components in the manufacturing of furniture, cabinets, and other wooden items. They provide protection against wear and tear, weathering, and corrosion. They also add aesthetic value to the wood, making it look more attractive. Industrial wood coatings come in a variety of colors and finishes, allowing manufacturers to create unique pieces that stand out from the rest. Furniture paints can also be used to enhance the look of existing furniture or create entirely new designs with a wide range of colors. Both industrial wood coating and furniture paint play an important role in creating beautiful pieces that last for years to come.

Why Wood Primers are necessary before painting?

For a classy interior, apart from sheen-finished walls, you need to have high-end woodwork. Usually, people prefer to do panellings in the interiors and ceilings. Besides that, the wooden doors and windows also need proper finishing and shine. For that, you need to paint them with high-quality paints but before that, using wood primers is highly recommended. That’s too from a reputed wood primer supplier. In this article, let’s discuss in detail about wood primers and why they are necessaryl before painting a wooden surface. 

What is a Wood Primer?

This is for you if you are planning to start painting on wooden surfaces. Always use a high-quality wood primer before that. Wood primers are an undercoat that is applied to wood before painting. It can be considered as a preparatory coating that is put on wood. No doubt, once you use it on the surface you can feel the difference. It will make the surface smoother and that will also make the paint job easier. Besides that, using a wood primer enhances the durability of your paint and ensures that there is better adhesion of paint to the surface. It will help to protect the wood in the long run as well. 

When Wood Primer is necessary? 

The necessity of using wood primer depends completely on the type of wood you’ll be painting. Professional recommends that when you have plans to paint a new wood that doesn’t have any stain then you can use high-quality latex primer or an oil-based primer. However, if you have plans to paint a wooden surface which have been already painted or is stained then you should use a stain-blocking primer. Usually, older wood means more weather wood high-quality primers. So, always prefer the products from the best wood primer suppliers. 

What are the steps to use wood primer? 

Whenever you start priming the wooden surface before that there are a few steps that you have to follow. The steps may slightly vary depending on the fact that you are going to paint a new wood or already painted, stained old wooden surface. Here are the steps that you must carefully follow before applying primers:

The first and foremost thing that you must do is to thoroughly clean the surface where you are planning to apply primer. Make sure there are no dust particles on the surface. 

For old and weathered wood use sandpaper and clean the surface using the sanding process. Once sanding is completed, remove all the dust accumulated during the process.

Select the right brand of wood primer and apply it on the surface. Let it dry for some time as mentioned on the packaging of the primer. Again, apply the second coat of the primer and it will eventually look chalky and give a smooth feel. 

Once you follow these steps and apply primer on the wooden surface, it is completely ready to be painṭed. Select the best wood primer supplier like Nebulon Paints for priming. Now you can have the desired smooth finished woodwork for your interiors.

Did you take the doors off before painting them?

I did not; you may notice that in the photos several of the doors are hanging partly open even after the painting is done.

That's because when my dad moved out and my cousin moved in, she had all the doors taken off and painted gray inside and out and had the hardware replaced; when she did that, whoever re-hung them did so *pretty badly* so a few of them just don't close and this isn't going to be easy to fix because the screws on most of the hinges are stripped.

So all I did to prepare for painting was take the handles off and wash the surfaces. I didn't bother priming because I figured, "hey, gray is like a primer, right?" and I didn't take them off because putting them back on would be a nightmare that would involve drilling out a bunch of screws and possibly patching some of the wood the screws go into.

(my cousin is also the one who hung the gray curtains and brought in the stainless steel fridge and had the green carpet in the front room replaced with gray and painted the front hall gray; I love her dearly but between the all gray everything and the rae dunn collection and the word signs that said shit like "kitchen" and "family" that used to be on the walls I am forced to conclude that she is incurably basic.)

A Vidding Primer

A guide written for @wren-of-the-woods who asked for advice about how to start vidding! This is far from comprehensive and I tried not to make it too dense because it's a big subject. I still wanted to share a variety of topics about getting into vidding because it's a hobby and art that is near and dear to my heart.

First Piece of Advice

watch a lot of vids and rewatch vids multiple times. Seek out vids on YouTube, AO3, Watch the TikTok and Twitter/X vids that show up on tumblr or wherever you’re browsing. They all have distinct styles and tools/techniques they use to make their vids and edits. Rewatch the vids and ask yourself what you like or dislike about them. The song, the editing, the source. That can give you a good starting point about how you might want to approach making your own fanvids. The TikTok style of 30 and 40 second edits are very different what you find on YouTube. YouTube editors tend to use a full song and a lot more effects and a lot more overlapping dialogue. Whereas the fanvids - Vids - from people who came into vidding in the mid 2000s/2010s have their own culture, different ways they approach song choice, clip choices and narrative. I also suggest watching vids for shows/films you’re not familiar with as well as your fandom favorites. You can learn a lot about how vidders try to tell a story even when you might not grasp the context behind certain scenes but you can still follow along with the emotional arc of the vid.

Second Piece of Advice

Have fun and enjoy yourself. Everyone starts a new hobby as a newbie. It can be a lot of effort to make 30 seconds or a 3 minute vid, but it’s such a unique type of fanwork that is fun to watch and fun to make. It can also be migraine inducing because of all the learning and technical issues along the way. But!! omg when you make a clip fall on the perfect beat with your blorbo crying that perfect tear or you find an idea and sources for the bestest perfect lyrics of the song, it’s a magnificent high. It can make you feel like a god. At least that’s how I feel a lot of times!

There are about 10 steps* to creating** a fanvid/edit:

• select your platform and software (phone/computer video editors) • gather your video and audio files • create a new project in your video editor • import audio into the editor • import the video into the software and mute audio tracks that contain your video’s audio • review, label and cut up the video into shorter clips - this step is known as ‘clipping’ in vidding parlance, but it’s also optional. Some people pull in movies and scrub through the whole film and just pull it directly onto the timeline • move the various video clips around on the timeline to match the audio track you’ve chosen for your project, add video effects and additional dialogue if you like • export the finished timeline • upload the video to a streaming platform and/or downloadable service • share your project!!! posting to ao3 and/or social media or share on discord, etc * there are a lot more steps involved with each of these steps. What what software to use, where to find video, how to deal with copyright blocks on Youtube, etc. Some of that will be covered in the links below but is not comprehensive. That would require separate posts and links and I don’t want to drop an encyclopedia on you right now! I’m happy to provide more resources that I can curate if you want more direction and pointers to resources and amazing vidders.

** like any hobby, there can and will be a learning curve and frustrations. Blank page for a writer, blank timeline for a vidder. Is anything you put down is any good, self esteem and confusion about what actually makes sense is part and parcel for any creative work. Once you're in the vidding process and committed, as long as you're enjoying yourself you gotta just keep going to get it done.

Getting Started Vidding

My knowledge and background and learning how to vid from people on livejournal and dreamwidth from 2007. I don’t have any experience in editing with a phone but if that’s something you’re interested in, YouTube will be a place for you to start finding tutorials for various apps and tools. Probably discord communities, too. Vidding Workshop - a great how-to/guide when you're starting out. This is on dreamwidth from the WisCon vidparty in 2014. Some of the tech discussions might be a little outdated but there’s a ton of relevant information. It covers technical subjects as well as developing vid ideas and actually getting started. If you have any questions about what you’re reading you can leave an anonymous comment and ask - some of these vidders responding inthe threads are still active. You can find them on AO3/YouTube, tumblr, discord and actually leave them questions about their vids. Many vidders are more than thrilled to talk about their vids and answer questions. Vexcercises - this is a dreamwidth community for short-form vid excercises. This is a very structured way of introducing vid concepts and constraints so that you can produce a vidlet. I highly recommend you check this out and participate! There’s even an AO3 collection so you can check out how people have done the different exercises, too.

The Process of Vidding

Watch Me Edit - @limblogs put together a fantastic playlist of YouTube editors who will show you beginning to end how they made their vid. A lot of these editors appear to be using Sony Vegas but the general process of vidding end-to-end will be similar with other nonlinear editors like DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, etc. It’s a great way to actually see the vid come together if you don’t know what that even looks like. Every vidder will develop their own workflow and approach (which might even change from vid to vid), but it’s useful to see in video how people actually DO the thing. @limblogs also created a handy YouTube playlist some vidders from Bradcpu’s Vidder Profiles (Fanlore page). These profiles are basically like a director’s DVD commentary on their vidding process, featuring the vidders talking over their own vids! So cool. Phenomnal insights from these vidders about how they choose song, use effects, think about their narratives.

Self Rec: I recently did a vidding textpost series called: do it for the process - a naked vid draft: What (Yennefer of Vengerberg). How I Edit by @vimesbootstheory is another textpost about their vidding process. Self rec: Here’s my text interview: Vidder Profile - Kuwdora 2011. I talk about my process with a lot of specific examples from my previous work and lots of screenshots. This profile is over a decade old but a lot of this still holds true for me today! videlicet - this is an incredible vidding zine that @limblogs put togegther with a lot of amazing contributors. These articles and discuss about specific vids and aspects of vidding. It’s really detailed and a fantastic piece of vidding culture. I highly reading recommend the Demystifying Vidding article by lim and the A History of Vidding by @meeedeee and…pretty much every article in the zine!

Doing the vidding!

I recommend joining exchanges and watching vids that come out of exchanges and checking out fannish cons that have vidshows and discords to get more exposure to vidders and vids. Many people have joined @festivids (AO3 collection here) and made their very first vid, it's a very fun and great way to get into vidding. It’s not quite festivids season right now but time flies and it will be time to nominate sources and do sign-ups in the blink of an eye. Follow @festivids and check out the AO3 collection and see what people are making. Join the Vexcercises community and make some short vids and share them on your tumblr or on discord or somewhere and bask in the thrill of making your first fanvids. Check out who reblogged the vidder ask game - go and read other vidders responses and ask some new-to-you vidders questions. Everyone has their own take on process and tech and everything. It's great to hear and see what a lot people are doing and making.

Final Advice - talking about vids and doing the vidding

• watch vids • rewatch vids • leave a comment and ask a question about something you saw in their vid! • Again: find someone’s AO3 page of fanvids and ask them something about their vid in a comment or send them asks on tumblr (people usually have the same alias or link to their tumblr or dreamwidth pages somewhere.) • YouTube can be a valuable resource for tutorials so if you don't know something, there is likely someone who has made a tutorial about how to use a cross dissolve transition or anything else you might want to replicate in a video that you've seen in a vid. • start making a vid, scream and cry, ask for help, and keep going until you get it done. Celebrate and bask in your completed vid and share it with everyone! • Follow vidders on tumblr that you find from the vidder ask game • Check out the vidding discord for community and questions and vid recs and news about vidding exchanges and cons. • Have fun!

Hope this helps you get started! Thank you so much for the ask! Let me know if you have more questions and I can help you out or send you to cool vidders who have great advice and suggestions. And please send me your vid if you make one!

puts on my clown hat

behold, as requested: The Trans Franky Essay. Like most of this is still jot notes and I wrote this when half-asleep so like. I don’t know

Please don’t shoot me.

Section 0: Most importantly...

Due to the Somerton stuff, I really am trying my best not to plagarize.

Unlike TikTok user @theyboss._.franky, I’m not planning to talk about if he’s trans based on physical features, personality, etc.

I’m here to talk about the narrative in particular, and allegory.

also kudos to @punkitt-is-here

[ID: A screenshot of an X post by @punkittdev that reads “this is also partially why i am a franky one piece trans man truther” It features Franky, a cyborg with a shirt that reads “I HRT”.with a sun between the words “I” and “HRT” Franky is a tall man with tan skin and blue hair, and has part of his arms replaced with blue metal with a star at the end. end ID]

Section 1: Cyborgs are inherently trans

I’m literally just going to link The transgender cyborg: an inexhaustive primer because the article does a much better job than I can, but to summarize:

Trans people are not only cyborg-adjacent because of the transphobes who call us that, but primarily because we are used in the same way cyborgs are in text: As a talking point, a disruptive metaphor about humanity as a whole.

That brings us onto the next place...

Section 2: Cyborgs are extra trans in this case.

The reason why I latched onto this in the first place is this character’s backstory.

Franky, who eventually becomes the Straw Hat’s shipwright, starts as a joke character in the Water Seven Arc.

He’s a 40-ish year old man who runs around in a speedo and shoots lasers at people, making a living off of dismantling ships.

However, as more information is revealed, the story starts to humanize and give him a backstory.

quotes from Chapter 358:

“My body got wrecked and parts of it weren’t working anymore... So I transformed myself using scrap metal. It’s how I survived!” 

“Waste wood, scrap iron... I fit right in. First I’ve got to... ... Do something about this useless body of mine!” 

What do these have in common? Retrofitting the self, and rebuilding the body. I think there’s something trans there but IDK

Deadnames (partially joking here): As said by another character “Cutty Flam of Tom’s Workers is dead. As long as you don’t use that name... ... There’s nothing connecting us”  (for context, Franky was changing his name to evade government capture, but shhh let’s just pretend we’re talking about deadnames)

Actual Section 2: The Boats are trans now

speaking of the self as a construct...

I think it would be giving Oda too much credit for doing this on purpose.

But, he also accidentally created one of the best analogies I’ve ever heard for gender identity and against gender essentialism:

And of course, it has to be boats.

chapter 353: “Franky, there’s no such thing as blueprints for a pirate ship!! If the sailors who board that ship run up a skull-and-crossbones, then it’s a pirate ship. If they fly a seagull flag, it’s a navy ship. Build whatever you want to build, Franky.”

Like again: It’s the idea that there’s no instructions for a person, it’s what you decide to create out of oneself?

Alright. So, in terms of most manga, he actually does a rather good job. One Piece is primarily a series about misfits and outcasts: The series is goofy and over-the-top as a rule. So, one could argue the extreme way in which he portrays trans people up until the Wano arc is just a part of the series.

yeah idk

[hylianchampion17]

i made these sword wall mounts from Link’s house in BotW! i made three in total to match the three in Link’s Hateno house. the TotK ones are slightly different, featuring a rod to stand the weapon upright, rather that against the wall.*

i’m gonna be overly descriptive here for my own reference, as well as anyone else who would like to make something similar!

here’s the specs:

mount:

h - 44 in // w(top) - 16 in // w(bottom) - 14 in

plaque:

h - 2.5 in // w - 8.5 in

- made from plywood and cut wooden sticks

- bindings used screws, wood glue, and a nail gun

- base colour using spray paint

- border colour using primer paint

- fastened with velcro temporarily

- backside is hung on wall with a wire line

i plan to add Hylian text to the plaques. probably something general rather than a specific weapon name (so i can swap swords between mounts).

also planning to replace the velcro strip with a leather strap and buckle. something adjustable for different sizes. i’ll either use rivets or simply cut two slots in the sides for the leather strap to go through.

all my swords i plan on hanging here are high-density foam/PVC pipe. so far, i have the royal claymore, great flameblade, and master sword. although the first two are larger in game, they are roughly the same size as the master sword seen in the photos. this allows me to make a one-size-fits-most build!

inspired by u/ on reddit and twitter for the inspiration!

*here’s the different versions between games:
