Additional Products and Sources
There are many finishes that are not as volatile or ass difficult to control that
can achieve good results in a well ventilated area.
Again, follow the instructions regarding the specific product you use.
Consult a local retail finishing supplier for ideas on user friendly finishes.
There are also mail order finishes focused on “water borne” type finishes
that can be applied either by spray or brush that do not have the volatility of
nitro-cellulose lacquer.
Final Comments on Finishing
It is very difficult to take you through every step of finishing as there is a
world of various finishes and application techniques as well as material use
and safety precautions to follow.
We do stress preparation as the key to any finish.
We also stress following a complete finishing process on some scrap
materials to understand all the steps to achieve the final look you want.
