Sugar is a good example of a nonelectrolyte substance that, when added to water, does not change the solution's ability to conduct electricity. Salt is a good electrolyte. More Information: Solutions: Non-reactive: This is the opposite of reactive. Non-reactive elements do not easily combine with the other elements. Helium, neon, and argon are examples of very non-reactive elements. More Information: Noble Gases: Normality: A measure of substance equivalents that are dissolved in a volume of solution.
Apply a base coat to the entire statue, using either a brush or a sprayer. Use either a latex exterior paint or a paint formulated especially for painting concrete, in a color that is appropriate to the top coat color you will be using. Coat the bottom of the concrete statue with a base coat first. Allow it to dry, then stand the statue up for painting.
1 lint-free rag (we used an old cotton T-shirt) In the bowl or bucket, mix together water, bonding agent and pigment. 1. Spray a small area of the statue with water. Pre-wetting this way will keep the color-solution from soaking in too fast, and causing blotchy areas. 2. Dip the paintbrush into the color-solution, and apply the color to the area youâve just wet. 3. Using the rag, immediately wipe any protruding, or âhighâ areas. (In nature, high points of a statue are always lighter in color than indents and creases â the âlowâ points.)
