Regarding planing technique, another mistake I may have made is some of my rough 2x4 stock had one end about 1/4' thicker than the opposite end. So if I did not notice this and start...

Hi,

I have a Makita 12" 2012 which I think I finally killed, rollers are shot and I think a gear is damaged. I'm taking it apart but lets be honest it's a light duty planer.
I think what finally...

Hi,

I bought a pair a plastic exterior shutters just to see how they looked and my advice is to save your money.
I believe there is one manufacturer of the stock and various distributors assemble...

Agree, there are several sellers on Amazon and they are not going to go against the law.
I guess I don't understand the CARB coatings rule sheet but doesn't matter.

I noticed Rockler will no longer ship Behlen Lacquer to CA although I was able to get some from Amazon.
I checked the air resources board summary page (updated Dec 1016) and Lacquer and pigmented...

I need to make a decorative fence similar to that shown below. I believe this is 2"x6" rails/stiles on edge.

For the 1"x6" fence boards in the center, should I do a lap joint on the fence boards...

The main reason I looked at Azek is Walpole says they make fences from Azek solid vinyl. Perhaps they have some secret sauce though.
I know the Azek deck rail packages have a metal support in the...

Hi,
I'm an experienced woodworker planning a painted picket fence. It will be small scale with no more than 6' post spacing, between 3 or 4' tall. I'm planning boxed 4x4 posts with the 2"x2"...

Hi,

I had some 2+ year old Qualalac satin. Sprayed it and it dried gloss. So I bought a fresh can, still dried gloss even though I stirred it real well and could even see the flattener on the...

Hi,

I have been using the MLCampbell pre cat 275VOC lacquers and I had to add Butyl Cellosolve to slow down drying or the Campbell product was unusable. I have all of the Campbell...

Ok, sounds good. It's a thick finish but I'm afraid using power sanding tools will go through the finish - one slip near the edge of the table.....

I had some open grain but I put on 4 coats so...

Hi,

I'm about to rub out a large table to gloss (flat surfaces only) that has a Nitrocellulose lacquer finish. I have the 3M perfect-it compounds (I have used these on automotive) but I need the...

FYI, I ended up having to use 15% Butyl Cellosolve. Even with 10% Behlen retarder the product dried too fast (rough finish) and there was some dryfall.
I'm using a turbine sprayer and that may be...

I have a stained project that I have sprayed with this sealer.
The project has some carved details where I will surely sand through the stain.
I will use a sanding sponge as best I can.
