    Waterborne Finishes & HVLP Spraying

    This is informative. The Earlex product line is very good and you can get a model 5500 for about $320. It's a good starter unit if you want to try spray finishing. http://thewoodwhisperer.com/waterborne-finishes-hvlp/ A couple of refrigerator/freezer cardboard boxes cut open work nicely...

    Scroll Saw table top finishes and care questions

    Picked up a Delta 40-601 a week or so back off of a CL listing, paid a little less than they wanted for it and all of the functions work as expected so I guess it was a good deal. So far my skills are rather sad, but I'm trying so that's a good thing. :cool: Anyways, my question is about the...

    Delamination of General Finishes ? HELP ?

    I am applying General Finishes: Seal-A-Cell followed by Topcoat Oil & Ureathane, sanding between coats with 0-0-0-0 steel wool. When sanding I have found that the previous Topcoats and Seal-A-Cell are delaminating down to the bare wood. I have used GF for years with no problems following the...

    Steel Wool and Satin Finishes

    Hi all, I've always had a problem with satin finishes. Currently, I'm working on a harpsichord that will have walnut keys instead of my usual ebony. I've never really cared for finish materials that have flattening agents to kill the gloss as they always look cloudy to me. On the other hand...

    RPM Wood Finishes Group Factory Fire in Hudson

    They produce the Mohawk finshes line there. Glad the fire didn't get to the Nitrocelluose. This will impact their business. Looks like a big loss. http://www.wcnc.com/home/Chemical-plant-fire-forces-evacuations-in-Caldwell-County-122778109.html

    Water based finishes

    I would like to share a water based finishing system from target coatings (targetcoatings.com) that I think is not just as good, but better than any other I have used. I started out using waterlox oil based on cabinets, urethane based for high traffic and a nice french polish with dewaxed...

    pre-cat lacquer over General Finishes Armour Seal?

    For the life of me, I hate GF Armour Seal. It looks great when it's first applied and wet, and then it sucks every bit of floating dust out of the air for miles around. And I still can't figure out how to apply it properly. Is is a "wipe on and leave" or is it a "wipe on and wipe off"? The...

    vINEGAR PAINTING WOOD FINISHES

    I was brewing up a bit of strong tea to stain the money box of a bank I made for the grand-dau. It gives a nice color and is non-toxic, I like that. Whie in the kitchen I saw some apple cider vinega and wondered how that would do as a stain, and if it would damage the wood at all, citric acid...
