April 24, 20188 yr There are three basic ways to apply finish Cloth (wiping) Moderately fast, cheap, suitable for thinner products, little cleanup. Good for oils, oil-varnish blends, thinned varnish, & stains. Control amount by how aggressively you wipe, easy to remove excess material. Brush Slowest, most common, suitable for thicker, slower-drying finishes (like varnish), can be used with care for faster drying finishes (shellac, brushing lacquer, waterborne). Can "manipulate" finishes during open time. Some brush prep & clean up required. Suitable for special effects like glazing. Spray Fastest to apply, needs special equipment (expensive) and area, not suitable for slow drying finishes like varnish, great for fast-drying finishes (shellac, brushing lacquer, waterborne), best for toners, Gun cleanup when done.

April 25, 20188 yr Author Many people make spray "booths" out of a cardboard box (small or refrigerator sized) or sheets of foam insulation with a fan at the back end. Edited April 25, 20188 yr by kmealy
April 27, 20188 yr Just make sure if spraying flammable materials that you change the motor to an explosion proof motor in the fan.
