Patiently applying and building the finish
|
Multiple coats of lacquer are applied and sanded between every other coat with 320 grit finishing paper. The sanding is progressive and gets more thorough as the finish is built up. This keeps the coating from being too thick, yet allows for the built to be smooth and level. Ample drying time between coats is important to allow the finish to shrink into the grain of the wood and let the solvents evaporate. Between coats, a replica decal is applied to the fallboard and any necessary touch up colorants are applied. |
