Yeah I built a spray booth big enough for me to walk in. It's about 7 feet tall, 6 feet deep, and 4 feet wide. I'm covering it with painters plastic and will open the garage door about 3-4 feet when...

I haven't started spraying yet as the orange dewaxed shellac flakes is from shellac.net will arrive next Monday. I plan to cut it with Everclear 190 proof, and spray 1-2 coats. After that, I'll mix...

Good advice. I can do the dewaxed shellac cut with DNA, mix in the TransTint, and spray that with my Fuji Mini-Mite 4 HVLP sprayer.

I'm using TransTint Perfect Red on Baltic Birch ply. I like the...

I'm building a telescope out of Baltic Birch (the 13 ply 3/4" stuff- which is the real BB).

My plan is to first apply dewaxed shellac, followed by approx 3 coats of wiped on TransTint Perfect Red...

I have a question. My table has been sitting for 3 weeks now, and 9/18 is when it will be ready for buffing out. I decided not to rub out the finish because the surface isn't flat enough for that. I...

Scott,

This morning I considered perhaps dropping the idea of going with a glassy look. By glassy look I mean the look featured in...

Pics of the finished telescope. One of the pics was taken before I took the side bearing off to have Neil Degrasse Tyson to sign it, which is why you see his signature in all the pics save for one. ...

Ted, I haven't been back here since I finished the telescope two years ago. The Waterlox on the telescope ended up beautifully, and I had the side bearing removed when I went to a lecture given by...

I finished building my 40"x88 1/2" pine/doug fir tabletop a month ago, and I've been finishing the top since.

I put down General Finishes Antique Walnut gel stain, and then top coated with...

The coatings that I brushed on was the Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish product.

Howard, I am indeed after a glossy...

Hi All,

I sanded down the waterlox coatings on my telescope end rings with 400 grit sandpaper, since the surface had a rough feel to it. I had 7 coats brushed on, so I figured it would be OK to...

Thanks guys, for your advice. I've since done some light sanding with 400 grit, to smooth out the dust nibs. It worked, but it did cut down on the gloss. I don't care, since it is the sealer/finish...

Hello,

I have been working on sealing the end rings on my telescope, and I noticed after the second coat, and now the third coat, that there are dust nibs. What is the best way to remove them,...
