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, learning:
- 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 (i.e. without spraying).
- Which products are compatible with one another, and which aren't.
If you have a project that needs finishing, you're welcome to bring it or to share a picture of it during the class and consult with the instructor on the best approach. But refinishing is not the focus of this class. If that is your main interest, you may wish to enroll in Repair, Restore and Refinish Furniture.
