Hello to all,
First time posting in fine woodworking.
I have a customer that wants wainscot in her bath. (We are remodeling a bath for the older look… claw foot tub, pedestal sink, etc..) She called me after going to the bath showroom and the sales person had mentioned “Cauterized” finish for wood. The sales person said it was a finish that is used on furniture and is ideal for damp locations. I myself have never heard of a “Cauterized” finish and when I called him today he lightly explained what it was, but he himself was not thoroughly familiar with it. Just said it was a durable factory appliecd finish.
Anyone here ever hear of such a finish?
Thanks to all who reply,
Gary

I assume they mean "catalyzed" lacquer, which is a durable finish. Since my understanding is that cauterized means more or less burnt, I doubt they had their terminology correct!
Thank you for your reply. I posted this on another forum and received the same repsonse about the terminology being incorrect and a catalyzed finish. I just have to check and double check before I can put something to sleep. thanks again.
