David Lehner Posted April 12, 2017 Report Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Relax, Kevin..........take a deep breath......everything does not need to be done in one day.....finishing is a real lesson in itself........light coats.....wait............................................not yet, wait longer....................................give things a chance to dry....................................................now that it has been sitting for several hours, you can give it a light sanding and another THIN coat of finish...........................wait......................................wait....................................repeat above steps................................................................wait................................................................wait.........................................there, now it is starting to look nice and even....way to go, Kevin I think you get the picture...If any one should understand this, it should be you....You can't hurry the finish part and have good success.........Sorry for your troubles, but take it as a good lesson learned.. Dick heppnerguy In many ways I am like Kevin.... I want to get it done as soon as possible after I start. My solution is to have a number of projects in the works. When done staining I have other things to work on in various stages... some being layed out to start on some still in the sawing stage some in the sanding stage Others in the staining stage and in the case of clocks ... some in the finishing and assembly stage. and my new pastime when I am waiting or need a break -- pyrography - wood burning ... (which I plan to incorporate into some scroll saw projects I just received my wood burner and attached is my first attempt .... a basic design but somewhat successful. Now working on more intricate designs and practicing shading Not sure why picture is sideways but you get the idea Edited April 12, 2017 by The Scroll Troll Quote
