About
Experiment with numerous finishes on a sample board to take home and use for future reference. The class is four sessions to allow drying time as you go through all of the steps:
- how to prepare the surface to help ensure an excellent finish.
- which stains and finishes work best on different types of solid wood and plywood.
- which tools and techniques to use when applying stains and finishes by hand (ie, without spraying).
- which products are compatible with one another — and which ones aren't.
If you have a project that needs finishing, you are welcome to bring it or to share a picture of it during the class and to consult with the instructor on the best approach. (A later class will focus on refinishing — it is not the topic of this class.)
