I am making another batch of puzzles. Primary wood is maple. I used mostly Danish oil on the last 52 I made. I don't like the smell of it.
Betty suggested a 50/50 mix of mineral oil and thinner. It dried faster with minimal odor. Denny you mentioned you used shellac and alcohol 50/50.

Reply to What should I use?Thanks. Haven’t done anything yet in the way of finishing but I will keep that in mind. I think hubby has some. If so, I’ll see if it can end up over on my side.07-27-2023, 12:20 PM

Reply to What should I use?To maintain the color of the green stripped poplar and the white maple, consider using a clear, water-based finish.

Reply to Painting advice on woodworkIn my experience, if the current coat isn't sticking and you simply paint or prime over top then the new layer will be subject to the same damage. This is because the bad layer is still between the new paint and the wood work. . The best thing to do is try and figure out why the paint didn't adhere...07-13-2023, 05:09 PM -
Reply to Painting advice on woodworkMy initial thought is to sand with 150 or 180, changing sandpaper often and then apply kilz and then your topcoat.07-13-2023, 01:21 PM

Had someone in to paint old staircase and door frames, the job isn’t great and think he has not done enough prep work, some parts of the staircase scratch straight of with a fingernail..
I knew that the staircase may be an issue as it had yellowed and peeling in places so I bought zinsser 123...07-13-2023, 10:05 AM
