Spray Finishing and Other Techniques [Paperback]

Fine Woodworking (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2006

A professional looking finish is the dream of most woodworkers. One way to achieve it is through modern spray finishing. Recent improvements in the equipment and widespread adoption have lowered costs making this technique widely available. But there is little information apart from magazine articles and our 1996 book. This book collects the best recent articles from "Fine Woodworking" on spray finishing and other modern finishing techniques.

This book has some good info including a few handy charts. What I like the most is the chapter on making your own HVLP turbine. The chapter on setting up a low cost spray booth is good.21 chapters in all, but I could have done without the aerosol finishes section, but others may love it. Good book for 12.00.

A great collection of all the relevant details I missed in numerous magazines. Organised and indexed better than I could have and well worth the purchase.

If you plan to do a lot of spray finishing and whether you are starting out or are experienced - this Author has something of value for you. The tips and experience in here have kept me out of serious trouble. People actually pay us to make/finish things for them. They like our finishes. This book can give you what you need to get started making money and developing a reputation for doing the "hard stuff". I learned about spraying dyes from this man. I have learned to love dyes more than oil-based stains. Good Book.
