WOOD FINISHES AND ITS APPLICATION (PART II)
Previously we had reviewed 3 kinds of wood finishes: Wax, Shellac, and Nitrocellulose Lacquer. Now, we continue to discuss other 4 wood finishes!
CONVERSION VARNISH
This coating looks like Nitrocellulose Lacquer. It can only be applied in shops using specialized spray equipment. It is hard to remove and provides strong protection.
POLYURETHANE VARNISH
It delivers a clear coating. Multiple layers of coating give a substrate a plastic type finish. It provides strong protection. Eventhough the solvents in the coating are petroleum-based, the coating is relatively safe. It is also quite durable.
If you want to remove the coating, you can use paint removers.
WATER-BASED POLYURETHANE
It produces a clear coating without the plastic look. It is safer than traditional polyurethane varnish. The coating dries rapidly. Besides, this coating is durable.
If you want to remove the coating, you can use paint removers.
OIL WOOD FINISHES
You can use Tung Oil and Linseed Oil. They can accentuate the wood`s grain. However, they don`t provide much protection.
The application of oil wood finish is easy, but drying takes 12 hours or longer.
To remove the coating, the substrate must be sanded down because oil absorbs into the wood.
