    Sanding Sealer

    I learnt something today, I say learnt but I have actually gathered some info I did not have yesterday and the waters have become muddied as a result. I learnt that there is actually more than 1 type of sanding sealer :iknow: In addition to the shellac Sanding Sealer their is a cellulose one...

    Watch the birdy

    Needed some more little bird houses so just to top up my stock 7 more to add. Made from various odd bits and pieces of wood as I don't like to waste anything. Bottoms finished with acrylic sander sealer and semi gloss top coat. The roofs are ebonised and then coloured with Jo Sonja iridescent...

    Ebony and Koa

    Etesia pen kit. No colour bleed with this one as I could sand the parts separately. Also sanding sealer before any sanding ( which I should have done with my last pen, but forgot )

    Melamine as a Finish

    What is the best way of using Melamine as a finish? I think I may be doing something wrong. My method is. Apply sanding sealer to the blank with the lathe running, I keep the cloth on running it from left to right to left until the sealer is dry on the cloth. I give the Melamine a good old...

    Two boxes

    Two boxes turned today the spalted one was very punky so a good soak in thinned sander sealer and left to dry before turning did the trick along with some very sharp tools. Many people ask about turning punky wood and this shows it can be done. The second is American Black Walnut the lid it...

    Ash bowl

    Getting ready to do a turning demo and was going to take the rough turned piece to work on so in preparation I started by returning the tenon and just take enough off to take out any wobble but found that it was tearing out something terrible so decided to complete it and find another one to...

    Failed Knife

    I turned a letter opener but it got spoiled when I sprayed it with melamine lacquer. The pyrography usually separates the colours, but this time the green and yellow mingled quite badly. I'm wondering if it would be better to go down the acrylic route with acrylic sanding sealer and acrylic...

    Burnt and stained

    Just finished this vase, had a bit of seepage between colours when brushing on the sanding sealer, but I'm reasonably happy with it. I will use a spray on sealer when using stains in the future.

    Chestnut friction polish

    I have just got a tin of Chestnut Friction Polish and noticed is says you don't need to use sanding sealer. As I am about to run out of sealer is it necessary to use it and if so which is the best fast drying one. Glen:thinks:

    Sanding Sealer Thinner

    I have some cellulose sanding sealer, but it's become a bit thick and gloopy. Can I thin it, and if so, what's best to use please? Whilst on this subject, I've found that the screw top becomes clogged up on these bottles very quickly, so I'm thinking of transfering the contents to a glass jar...

    Myrtle Slimlines

    A pair of slimlines in Myrtle, absolutely the worst wooden blanks I've had the pleasure of turning so far, but I think they make up for the hassle in the look of the grain!!!!! Lots of filling with dust and ca. Sanded to 600 and finished with 2 coats sanding sealer, cut back then 4 coats of...

    Sealer & Simplicity (Delta) and streamline comparison

    One for you to see the differences of the kit and the differences (in my opinion) of the acrylic and cellulose sanding sealer. This is not a scientific test and was just a botch up in my cave. I turned two pieces of spalted Hornbeam wood, off the same piece of wood (side by side) so you would...
