In this chart, all mandatory steps are yellow (rectangles), all optional steps are red (circles), and all questions are blue (diamonds). successive aluminum oxide grit sizes: 80 (or 100), followed by 120 (or 150), followed by 180 (or 220). Wood putty: Fill dings or nicks with wood putty that matches the color of the wood, or so that when stained, it will blend in with the stained wood. Leave the putty slightly proud when it's wet. After it has dried, sand the area flush during the next step so that the sanded area reveals the exact shape of the original void. Hand sand & clean off dust: This time, sand by hand, going with the grain when possible, using 180- or 220-grit garnet paper (as opposed to aluminum oxide paper). This step also sands putty flush. Always sand all areas of the piece the same way, in the same sequence, using the same size and type of grit. Wipe, blow or vacuum off sanding dust. Raise grain, de-fur. Sponge wood liberally with clean water, wipe it all off, and let it dry overnight. Sand very lightly the next day with 4(X>grit paper. Sand only enough to remove the raised fur. Conditioner: Apply wood conditioner only when necessary. Some woods and stains require it, while others do not. Making samples will tell you if you need it. Flood conditioner on, wipe it off, and stain while the conditioner is still wet. Stain: Flood stain on liberally, and wipe it off while still wet. When using two types of stain, dyes go on first, followed by pigment stains. Let each application dry completely before proceeding to the next step. Fill pores: Open pore finishes on large pore woods are both common and attractive. However, if you prefer the look of a glass-smooth surface, fill the pores with inert pore filler. Seal the wood with a very thin coat of dewaxed shellac or Zinsser continues on page 12... Finish winter 2011 11 |
