Article: Before buffing, apply a cutting compound to the buffing tool. The cutting compound protects the metal and gives it a nice shine. Read the instructions on the package to determine which compound to use for your project. In general, you can start with a firm wheel and a brown compound to do your initial polishing, then choose a softer wheel and a rouge (red) compound to get a high shine and smooth finish.

Problem: Article: Use a paintbrush to apply a primer that is specifically for melamine. Target all of the areas that you cannot easily reach with a roller. Primers that are specifically for laminate wood are an alternative option. Roll the primer in one direction across each surface. Ensure that the roller always sounds crinkly and wet, and if it loses that sound, apply more primer. If you are using a new roller cover that has fibers, wrap it in masking tape before you use it. Rip off the masking tape to remove any loose fibers that would have otherwise been stuck to your project. Use 220 grit sandpaper to smooth over any drips or other marks caused by the primer. Wipe over the sanded surfaces with a tack cloth again. The instructions that are on the primer will indicate how long it will take to dry. This normally takes around 4 hours. Cover the full surface of the kitchen cupboards or furniture again. Wait for the primer to dry. You don't need to sand the surface again after the second coat of primer, unless you notice more bumps or imperfections. Use a foam roller to evenly coat all surfaces with paint. Let the first coat dry for 6-8 hours. If you prefer to use a paint brush, brush against the grain first and then brush with it. Paint applied to melamine takes longer to dry than on wood. This is because melamine isn't as absorbent. You can buy paint specifically for melamine surfaces from home improvement stores. Use either a foam roller or paintbrush again to apply paint to all of the surfaces. Let the final coat dry for 24 hours. Start with the back or inside of any doors to cupboards, so that you can get used to spray painting there first. Then spray paint your entire project, and let it dry overnight. Wear a respirator mask at all times when working with spray paint. Check that the spray paint can be used on melamine surfaces by reading the label before you purchase it. Apply a second coat with spray paint if you need to once the first coat is dry.
Summary: Apply primer with a paintbrush over all of the edges and corners. Use a roller to apply the primer to the whole project. Sand the primer once it's dry to remove any imperfections. Add a second coat of primer. Apply the first coat of melamine paint over the primed surfaces. Add the second coat of melamine paint once the first is dry. Spray paint your project if you prefer a smoother finished surface.

Before bringing your new pet home you need to decide if you intend the bunny to be a house rabbit or live outdoors in a run in the yard. House rabbits are popular pets but there are a few factors to consider. While you will have to do more cleaning and training for a rabbit that lives indoors with you, you will not have as much social contact with a rabbit that lives outside. If you decide to keep your rabbit inside, you will need to rabbit-proof your house. Rabbits chew anything and everything, including electrical cables and the legs of your antique furniture. Make sure you are able to 'rabbit proof' your home so that cables are all tidied away out of reach of the rabbit, and there is no item that you would be upset if it got damaged by gnawing. If you decide to keep your rabbit inside you will also need to litter box train it. It is not hygienic to have the rabbit ranging around the house, pooping and peeing wherever they please. The solution is to litter train the rabbit to use a litter box. However, most rabbits poop mostly in one particular spot, so you can use this to your advantage by placing a litter tray in whichever spot they usually poop. If you have a male rabbit who is spraying urine everywhere, you may need to get him desexed. If you decide to keep your rabbit outside you will need to commit to spending time socializing it every day. Make it a part of your schedule, otherwise the rabbit may become anxious and fearful in your company. The hutch (or rabbit house) should be at least 2 feet (0.61m) wide and 4 feet long, and tall enough to let the rabbit stand up to its full height. The bottom of the cage should not be made of wire, but the sides can be. Outdoor hutches are most commonly made of wood with a door fitted at the front made of chicken wire. This allows for good ventilation and for the rabbit to see out. The wood offers a degree of thermal protection to insulate the rabbit from the elements, and is sturdy, protecting the rabbit from predators. An outdoor hutch will need to have a run attached to it, so that your rabbit can exercise. The run should be a minimum of 4 feet (1.2m) by 8 ft by 2ft tall, for a rabbit under 2kg. Many indoor hutches are made of plastic with a wire roof. This has the advantage of being lightweight, so you can move it around the house easily. If you can't find a hutch you like, make your own! It isn't as simple as buying one, but it can be much better for your rabbit. You must provide bedding that is soft, warm and absorbent. Cover the entire base to a minimum depth of 34 inches (7.610cm). This cushions the backs of the rabbit's hind legs, which are prone to pressure sores if not enough padding is provided. Commonly used substrates for bedding include wood chips, hay, or straw. Of these, straw is the warmest and softest and makes the best bedding material, hay is second best (and is more expensive than straw), and sawdust it third best. You will need to litter train your rabbit if you are keeping it inside. The litter tray will need to fit inside the hutch and not take up more than a third of the floor space.
