QDE pros and cons
Usapang cabinet tayo 😀
Pros
Budget wise kasi mura
Easy to apply brush and roller lang
Pag nagasgasan o nanilaw mabilis iretouch
Labor wise kasi mabilis ang preparation ulike spray paints
Cons
Naninilaw overtime
Matagal mawala ang amoy pagkafinish unlike spray paints
Matagal matuyo (thinning over paint thinner)
Note: Di lahat ng spray paints ay hindi naninilaw overtime most of them naninilaw din. Meron po tayong pinturang hindi naninilaw at pag nagasgasan ibbuffing lang ulit para bumalik sa pagkabago at masmabilis ding iretouch.🤫
Quick Drying Enamel (QDE) or also called "Gloss Enamel" is one kind of an oil-based coating that uses oxidative curing alkyd/s as binder. This type of binder uses oxygen, mainly from air, to properly cure and give its full film properties. This is why, when using QDE, it is best to work in a large area with good ventilation to allow the room to breathe.
Pros:
- Not complicated to use
- Can be applied using common painting tools
- Fairly cheap
Cons:
- Tends to yellow overtime
- Since it is oil-based, slow curing process
- distinct smell of solvent used in formulation (thinners)
