Ian, I'm very interested in hearing about your experience with the GF white poly... As John observes, it might be difficult finding it locally, although I was surprised to find a few small shops...

Interesting that searching on the SW site actually rendered Italian-language results... All the Sayerlack Hydroplus info I've ever acquired and read--namely product data sheets and a Hydroplus...

Hmm, maybe there is something wrong with my can. Stranger things have happened. I stir pretty obsessively too. To say it doesn't powder is an understatement; it's very gummy and clogs up the...

I checked the date on the can, and it's nine months old. It has the "New & Improved" sticker on the lid, which reflects the "improved formula" copy describing the product currently on their Web site....

So you're using a compressor-driven system with pressure pot? You mentioned a pressure-assisted gun toward the beginning of the thread, and I wasn't quite sure if you were referring to an...

I have some questions about spraying General Finishes white poly that are going to hijack the thread a bit, but my issues are related closely enough to the OP’s—in that I’m talking about spraying...

I know, the cleanup for the BIN primer isn't that bad. It's totally irrational, but for me spray-finishing can cause some anxiety. I don't know if others experience the same thing or not--I think it...

Awesome, John, thanks for the tip on the BM Advance. I did not notice it when I was looking at their products. The BM paint I did see getting attention was the Satin Impervo. I had previously seen...

I’m currently spray-finishing the millwork that I made for a powder room/mudroom suite that I built. The panels and mouldings were primed off-site using Zinsser BIN Shellac primer. I’m now topcoating...

Tom, the very same thing happened with me. I didn't mention it in my previous posts, but I sent mine back to Trend--after some disagreement with a technical rep about their flatness spec--and the...

David, my sentiments were those exactly as I was discovering the state of my stone, and as I took a few minutes thereafter to think about exactly what was going on. At that price, it's right there...

Stay away from the Trend, if you're looking for a precision flat plate and if we're talking about their 8" double-sided diamond plate. I too thought it was flat to 0.0005"--that's the claim made in...

I have a Porter-Cable 7518 Speedmatic router, bought new about 15 years ago, in the Made-in-USA days, which is part of the reason I've been spending some time trying to diagnose and cure some of the...

From what I understand, those pints of premixed milk paint (such as what General Finishes sells) are not really milk paint, if that's what you are referring to. I have used the powdered milk paint...

I can't comment on the feasibility of using the SealCoat in lieu of a primer, but I am right in the middle of spraying SealCoat with my HVLP turbine rig very, using it as a sealer before spraying...

Van, you did indeed recommend it to me, as well as giving me a lot of helpful, cogent advice on bandsaws in general. I couldn't be happier with the saw and I'm still very grateful for the knowledge...

I can't speak on the J/P combo, as I don't have one and have never used one. Personally, I would avoid that combo setup as long as space never becomes a pressing isuue. I have a Mini-Max Formula...

The spray booth area is about 6' x 6' x 7' with one open side, to allow for airflow. In other words, not totally enclosed.

Jim, thanks for the response. I was hoping you might add something as I've seen your posts on other finishing threads and you also recommended the Target finishes. I've been doing a little spraying...

I'm new to spraying and recently acquired an Accuspray three-stage turbine rig. I'm going to be spraying Target Coatings WB 9000 Super Clear Polyurethane on maple cabinet face frames and carcase...

I have the Festool Mini vac, which I purchased along with their 6" orbital sander. I've always found the vacuum to be sort of weak, though it is quiet and the tool actuation is of course a necessity....

I might be happy that it's just a biscuit joiner, and not something big like a table saw, jointer, planer, etc. That's when it really gets frustrating.

I know the Laguna Resaw King is well liked by many. It's quite pricey, but Laguna would or should be disposed to give you a deal on one as you just made a large purchase from them. Don't know from...

I can see what you mean about your dovetails not meeting the standards the rest of the piece has set. Because overall it looks very, very good. The curves came out great and the grain match across...

Mike, I ended up buying the newly redesigned Hammer N4400. It seemed like a very capable saw at a fair price. Waiting for it to arrive; will no doubt proffer a detailed gloat with pics when it does.
