Can cats die if they have too many fleas?

Fleas will jump off of a cat’s body onto your furniture, carpets, bedding, and your pet’s bed as well. They can also jump onto you while your cat is cuddling on your lap and you are stroking them.

Do you have to remove old paint before repainting a car?

Generally, you don’t want this, because such coatings must be completely removed before painting. Either way, your first step before painting should be to use a metal-etching conditioner (i.e., Metal-prep), which also removes any minor surface rust, followed by a good etching primer.

Can I paint wood without primer?

Unfinished wood should always be primed prior to painting. Primer, having high-solids content, helps fill in the wood grain and creates a smooth surface for the finish coat. Like the raw drywall, unfinished woods tend to really soak up paint, and primer helps seal the surface to prevent this from happening.

Can I paint without sanding?

No, you do not. But you do need to properly prep the surface first. Wiping it down with a clean soapy rag is always advised, and you may want to use a deglosser. I choose to use an oil-based paint instead which will adhere to a varnished surface and is a great way to prep for a final coat of paint.

Can you paint over varnished wood?

You can paint over varnished wood as long as you use the right materials and painting process. The best paint to use is a water-based acrylic one. If you’re using an oil-based paint only use an oil-based primer, not an acrylic one.
