Ukukhetha upende emuva ngosuku kwakuwumsebenzi olula kakhulu, kodwa namuhla unezinto ezingaphezu kwedlanzana ongakhetha ekupendeni udonga olulodwa. Ngenkathi sinquma ngama-head-scratcher ajwayelekile njengophawu lopende,umbala wependefuthiupende ukuphela, ngenxa yentuthuko yobuchwepheshe bokupenda, manje usune-conundrum entsha eyaziwa ngokuthi izinhlobo ezibonakalayo zamapende. Uhlobo lomzimba lopende ngokuyisisekelo luyi-solvent esetshenziswa kupende lwakho.

I-solvent esetshenziswe kupende wakho inomthelela omkhulu empilweni yakho kanye nemvelo. Iamapendeahlukaniswa kakhulu njengopende osuselwe emanzini nopende osuselwe ku-solvent, ngesisekelo sesisekelo esisetshenzisiwe. Nakuba emashumini eminyaka adlule, cishe wonke amapende ayesuselwe ekuncibilikeni, ukuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe kwenze opende abasuselwe emanzini bahambisana nopende abasuselwe ku-solvent. Lapha sixoxa ngomehluko, izinzuzo kanye nezinkinga zalokhu kokubiliuhlobo lukapende, futhi mhlawumbe kwenze kube lula kuwe ukuthi unqume.

Kungaba khona ubuchwepheshe obuningi namagama obuchwepheshe ahlotshaniswa nopende osuselwe emanzini kodwa uma sibeka nje, upende owenziwe ngamanzi njengesincibilikisi. Iqukethe i-filler, i-pigments kanye ne-binder, konke kuncibilike emanzini. Izinga labo eliphansi le-volatile organic compound (VOC) likwenze kwaba ukupenda ngemuva kwemithetho emisha ye-VOC. Lokhu kubenza babe ngopende ovumelana nemvelo onemiphumela emincane eyingozi kuye kweqanda empilweni yakho. “Kufana nokubuka upende womile” yisitatimende esidumile, esibizwa ngemva kwesikhathi esomile esidingwa opende, esisetshenziselwa noma yini ende kakhulu futhi engathakazelisi. Kodwa-ke, okomile okusekelwe emanzini kunesikhathi esomile esisheshayo ngempela futhi kungalungela ukunameka futhi emahoreni ama-2.

Lawa mapende nawo alula ukuwahlanza futhi azokusiza ukuba wenze kanjalogcina izindonga zakho zihlanzekile. Ngokungenaphunga okuncane, kwakha isipiliyoni sokupenda esimnandi futhi kwenza indawo ezungezile ibe nobungane. Amapende asekelwe emanzini asetshenziswa emachibini okubhukuda kuya ezinqolobaneni, ukufulela kuma-railings, kanye naphansi kuya ekuhlanganisweni. Ekugcineni, amapende asekelwe emanzini afaneleka cishe kunoma iyiphi imfuneko yohlelo.

Amapende asekelwe ku-solvent aqukethe izinhlanganisela eziphilayo njengezincibilikisi. Izinhlanganisela eziphilayo ziqinisekisa isiphetho esiqinile nesiqinile esimelana nokuklwebheka kanye nemihuzuko odongeni lwakho. Izindwangu ezisekelwe ku-solvent ziminyene kakhulu futhi udinga i-mineral spirits noma i-turpentine ukuze uhlanze futhi unciphise upende. Imvelo ejiyile futhi ijwayele ukufihla ukungapheleli odongeni lwakho kodwa futhi idinga isikhathi esomile esiqhubekayo.

Asebenza kahle kakhulu uma esetshenziswa ngesikhathi sezulu esibanda, kanye nezinye izimo zezulu njengoba ekwazi ukumelana nezimo zezulu ezimbi kakhulu. I-VOC kulawa kapende inamandla ngokwanele ukubangela ubuhlungu bekhanda obuqinile, izinkinga zokuphefumula kanye nomuzwa nje wokungaphatheki kahle. Ngaphezu kwakho konke lokho, lawa mapende abuye abe nephunga elibi elingase liphazamise izingane. Zonke lezi zimfanelo, zikwenza kube ukukhetha okufaneleukunamathela kwangaphandlekunokuba ingaphakathi.

Eminyakeni eminingi edlule, opende abasekelwe kuwoyela babekhethwa abadwebi, kodwa imithetho emisha ye-VOC kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwamapende asekelwe emanzini kwaholela ekuvinjweni kokusebenzisa upende owenziwe ngowoyela ezindaweni eziningana. Nakuba ngaphandle kokukhishwa okuncane noma okungekho okungalimaza indawo yethu, upende osuselwe emanzini uthandwa ngabadwebi abaningi. Ngokuhambisana nemvelo, amapende asekelwe emanzini nawo anokuqina nokusebenza okungcono kakhuluamapende asekelwe ku-solvent.

Iamapende asekelwe emanzinikukhona ukukhetha ekahleopende for ekhaya Interiors yakhokuyilapho amapende asekelwe ku-solvent afaneleka kuphela ngaphandle lapho ukungcola nezinga lokushisa kushintsha njalo.
