Saturday's Woodworking Quiz January 28 2017

Featured Replies

Good Evening Friends,

 Getting ready this morning to go to the Columbus Woodworking Show this morning I completely forgot to right the quiz. I spent the day with Jim Heavey in the Wood Magazine Booth.

 

Now for the quiz; Jim covered the many different types of finish, how many can you think of to finish a product with?

Wipe on Poly

Brushing Lacquer

Spray Lacquer (rattle can)

Shellac

Those are my go to finishes

oil (linseed, tung, mineral), oil-varnish blend, varnish (phenolic, alkyd, or poly), shellac, wax, water-based acrylic, nitrocellulose lacquer, pre-cat lacquer, CAB lacquer, post-cat lacquer

 

and some other less-used ones

oil-paint, w/b paint, milk paint, soap, conversion lacquer, epoxy, white-wash

 

Most can be applied in one or more of three ways:brush, spray, wipe

> water-based acrylic (sometimes called water based lacquer, water based poly, etc. etc.)   Mostly acrylic resins.

You're going to have to explain the "soap" finish.

that's where you spend 3 days getting it perfect, the client sees it, and says "it's not fancy enough", and you proceed to wrestle the client down and wash their mouth out with soap.  it's kinda messy and really screws up the woodworker-client relationship....but it's soooo pleasing.....

 

or it may be something else.... :)

Soap was a new one to m til I read about it in a magazine. It is an old finish , not durable but easy to apply. And yeas it is soap.

I guess all you need is water and a rag when it comes time to clean it?:wacko:
