Re: Having Trouble Finishing? Here's a Great Product

I am now retired but worked in the paint & coatings industry for 40 years before retiring. Believe it or not this is the part of wood working that a like the least. I only had success with spray finishing. Brushing almost always got me runs and uneven finishes. Shortly before retiring I worked for Zinsser, the shellac people. I tried to brush on this finish but got my usual lousy results. After discussion with the lab they said that wiping on was the way to go. I tried it and got excellent results. Even their "French Polish" was great.
I miss using Lacquers but with all of the environmental regulations it's hard to find. So no I'm a wipe on finisher. I tried oils, urethanes, shellac and varnishes. They all work great. Just remember to wipe once and let it be.
