Step-by-step demonstration of essential finishing techniques based on the book Hand-Applied Finishes (See TA-7282). The art of coloring wood does not require a chemistry degree. But what you do need is a thorough understanding of the coloring compounds available and how to apply them. Jewitt covers the three major kinds of stains: pigment, dye, and chemical. See how to: prepare surfaces for coloring; use paste fillers; choose the correct stain; mix your own stains; and work with glazes.
Simple tools and the correct technique are all it takes to produce flawless finishes by hand. Shows how to apply five common top coats: shellac, oil, varnish, solvent lacquer, and water-based lacquer. See how to: use tung and linseed oils; brush on varnish; pad lacquer and shellac; French polish; and rub out a finish.
