@@anthonyromano8565 if you did the cutting very well on your plywood and use table saw with good measurement on fences prettty much edge banding would be a great way.. but if you suck on cutting and you use a circular saw without a guide definitely using edge banding wouldn't suffice your project and it will leave messed up edges.. Here in the Philippines.. Plywood Plys diifers and most of the common plywood we used are not pretty much using fullpacked wood ply. I can say here the plywood is pretty messed up too.. so this technique works well.. Edge banding works well if your plywood is with good edges and you cut it well..

Hi, Thanks' for those tip's , if the plywood has laminate on it I found it difficult to paint the edges without staining the laminate, do you have some recommendations for me?

Would you use DAP Plastic wood to get rid of the grain on the side of the plywood? I can't tell if the plywood you are using has any wood grain to speak of but I'm making a set of drawers with Baltic Birch plywood and want a smooth surface. Loved the video and the idea of smoothing plywood edges with plastic wood rather than more wood, banding etc. Thanks!

@DesignCraftWorkshop

I think it'll work as long as you can sand it smooth before priming. This was birch plywood. Not exactly like baltic birch, but it's very close.

Hi thank you so much for this video, it is really useful for where I'm currently at. I'm curious about two things. 1) If the plywood edges have seemingly no voids in them, is it still necessary to do a layer of wood filler, or will sanding be enough to conceal the plys with primer and paint? And 2) After seeing this video I found a used Mini Mite 3 (It's actually brand new) and may purchase it. I work out of a shipping container though, so I'm quite exposed to the elements. The doors can't even be closed while I'm inside. My question is, will I be able to get good results spraying outdoors essentially? If you're able to answer these questions it would be very helpful! Either way, thanks so much for the videos. Excited to follow you and watch more of them!

@DesignCraftWorkshop

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment! I’m glad you found it useful. 1) you’ll want to apply the filler to get a smooth edge. The different layers of plywood will absorb the primer and paint unevenly. The filler helps lay a nice smooth foundation for the primer and paint to stick to 2) I spray outdoors often and I would say having a dedicated space will help with any debris that may fall on the surface. If you can spray and move the work piece into a covered area, you should be ok. Having a tent/spray box will help as well.

What are the implications of the veneer peeling up at the edge under the paint with moderate use? Working on some pieces for the kids playroom and wondered about its resilience? Toughness to water?

Go to one of the hardwood dealers in town. Houston Hardwoods for example. They have veneered plywood as well as Baltic Birch in 5x5 sheets.

At first I was resilient to go down the painting road as I thought laminate might be a cheaper solution for my birch plywood cabinet, but after seeing your video im considering it - and also getting a paint gun plus paint seems to be a cheaper option for me. If I prime, then thin down high glossy benjman more acrylic paint, then apply a high gloss polyurathane after, do you think I could replicate the plastic feel of laminate as well as meet or exceed the plastic aesthetic of laminate?

The benefit of the Fuji system is they offer both sprayer options if you choose to buy one from them. Hope this helps!

Hi! I have been using water-based products for years in both commercial and residential application. Water-base will raise the grain slightly, but since you’re going to sand the primer down before applying your finish paint it will knockdown any raise grain on the surface. No wood grain is visible for me if you sand between coats and thin the finish paint appropriately. Hope it helps!

Thanks, I really appreciate your instructions, especially when applying putty on the edges. I bought the same DAP plastic wood. But yours looks more "moist" and smooth, where mine looks and feels grainy and seemed to apply like wet sand. Was your wood filler straight out of the container?

Hey James! Brush lines will depend on the quality of the brush itself most of the time. If you're going to brush on the paint, I would recommend getting a good brush and also make sure you have a consistent wet tip. The last recommendation I would suggest is to thin out the paint so that the paint will flow a little better. With that being said, I suggest always applying primer. It's critical for an even finish.
