How useful do you find a finisher's color wheel? Is it something you use a lot or just on very rare occasions? I've seen them advertised at various vendors; anyone know of an on-line version? Seems expensive for a piece of cardboard.

Just Google color wheel images and you'll have loads of of them. I only use one occasionally.

Also an occasional user but it's nice to have around. If the one you are looking at doesn't have spinning sections that show complimenting colors or mixing ratios, keep looking. I don't find much value in a static version. I have seen them for $20 but believe I paid $10 for mine. I'll try to check it when I get home.

I used to use mine quite a bit; now, I just eye it...
For <$20 it's a useful tool to have for getting to the color you want.

Finishing is an 'Art & a Science'. Actually, it is a process. You must understand the properties and tendencies of the finish you are using. You must know the proper steps and techniques, then you must execute them properly.
