Frequently Asked Questions

Which wears better, gloss, satin or matt?

Floor Sanding FAQs
In the 20th century, when solvent-based polyurethanes were common, gloss was harder wearing, because manufacturers used additives which weaken the finish to achieve a satin or matt look. However, with our range of water-based varnishes, there is no difference in durability between matt, satin and gloss finishes.

What do 'complications' mean when referring to a wristwatch?

Rolex Frequently Asked Questions... QualityTyme.net
A complication is described as any additional function the wristwatch performs beyond basic time telling (i.e. hour, minute and second). A common example of wristwatch complications are calendar models which display the day/date. Additional complications include chronograph models, whereas the watch performs like a basic "stop watch" (as described above). Other complications worth mentioning are: second time zone, moonphase and alarms. See similar questions...

What is the difference between a Satin finish, a Semi Gloss finish and a High Gloss finish?

Welcome to Knox Hardwood Flooring
The Satin finish is a matte finish and the easiest to maintain. Because it has a low sheen, it is very forgiving insofar as showing scratches, dents, and wear and tear over time. The Semi Gloss finish has some shine and is a little harder to maintain in that it will show scratches, dents and wear and tear sooner. The High Gloss finish is the hardest to maintain in that it shows everything - dust, dirt, scratches, dents, and wear and tear in general the quickest. See similar questions...

What needs to be done if I'm repainting over a gloss paint?

Lightly sand to dull the sheen and clean the surface thoroughly. When recoating with an oil-based paint or Porter's ADVANTAGE 900 Interior/Exterior Acrylic Enamel, you may paint directly over glossy surfaces as long as they are clean. See similar questions...

Are the photographs printed with a gloss or lustre (sometimes referred to as matt) surface?

Frequently Asked Questions
Graphi Studio Albums are printed with a lustre surface only. This is excellent as it resists finger prints so much better than gloss. For all other Presentations, I use a lustre surface. It will be no problem for you to have a gloss finish, but you must clearly request this on your order form. See similar questions...

CDs are recorded with a high-powered laser that literally burns the information to the underside of a CD. Track: A track is an individual group of information. This can be a single song on an audio CD or a group of data on a data CD. Audio CDs are made up of several tracks (each song is a track). See similar questions...

Referring to discs, what do you mean by "generic"?

ROM-Burner FAQ
It may seem strange but, in my mind, "generic" is what you get when buying "branded" media. When purchasing Memorex, Imation, etc. or some superstore "house" brand you're most often getting something that the label company buys from a base manufacturer and puts their name on. The best way to ensure you're getting high quality media is to either ask the label company who manufactures their media (with this info, you can do an internet search on that company's reputation)..

What do the terms for measuring book sizes mean?

Frequently Asked Questions for letterpress
Book sizes are based on the practice of folding a large sheet of paper to create several pages. A traditional sized sheet (e.g., 25 x 38) which is folded twice to create four pages yealds a quarto (4to) sized book (measuring 12.5 x 19), a sheet folded three times to create eight pages yields an octavo (8vo) sized book (measuring 9.5 x 12.5), and so on. If you're mathematical, you'll notice that the number of pages is two raised to the number of folds (2**3 = 8). See similar questions...

How do we get a high gloss when buffing?

FOOTSIES PRESENTS STRATA
Make sure not to graduate too quickly from a 180 file to the white block. Try using the white block buffer a little longer than seems necessary. Be sure to wipe all grit and dust from the nail and the 3-way buffer, as even the smallest amount of dust will prevent a high gloss. Cuticle oil may be helpful. There may be a slight color variation from batch to batch. Allow the polish to dry completely before you decide it doesn't match. See similar questions...
