When applying finish, if pouring, you should not pour more than what amount of finish at one time?
- A.
One quarter of the aisle
- B.
One thirds of the aisle
- C.
One half the aisle
- D.
The entire aisle
Correct Answer
A. One quarter of the aisleExplanation
When applying finish, it is not recommended to pour more than one quarter of the aisle at one time. Pouring more than this amount can lead to an uneven application of the finish, resulting in an inconsistent finish appearance. It is important to pour a manageable amount of finish to ensure that it can be spread evenly and smoothly across the surface. Pouring too much at once can also make it difficult to control the application and may result in wastage of the finish.Rate this question:
