1) Surface Preparation <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

To facilitate the paint’s adhesion, you will need to sand or strip the crib first.<\/strong><\/span><\/span> This will also increase the paint’s longevity over time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sand or strip?<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

If the bed has its original paint or varnish<\/strong> and these are not toxic (compliant with the toy standard), you can simply sand with sandpaper<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span> Sand first with a high grit (80 for example) before finishing with a finer grit (180 or 320).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If the wooden bed was painted with glycerine<\/strong> or a varnish not suitable for children, it will be necessary to strip<\/strong>!<\/span><\/span> Indeed, we want a healthy base<\/strong> to apply a quality paint!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
