Apply firish to the project as desired. (We applied two ccats of Watco natural Danish cil finish.) After the final coat hed dried fcr a day or two, we sprayed on three ccats of Minwax clear semi-gloss polyurethane, lightly sanding between the second and third coats wrlh fine sandpaper. Then we removed all dust with a tack cloth. Note: when applying the finish, take special care to spray the top, bottom, and all four sides from different angles ir order to get inlo Ihe cut out areas as much as possible. Spray thin coats so as tc avoid runs and sags. After the final coat had dried completely, we gave the project a final rub down with plain brown paper from a grocery/shopping bag. Remember: always follow manufacturer's directions for use and disposal of all finishing products, and always do your "experimenting" with finishes on scrap materials. After the finish dries, install the clock insert end your completed desk clock is ready to use ar d enjoy! For questions concerning this project, send an SASE tc: Dirk Bee/mar, P.O.
