Amalio Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share #422 Posted April 19, 2018 Hi. I buy the wood in plank, and I make it at home. The only treatment I do is with nitro cellulosic filler. I do not know how it is known in other countries, but it is the primer that varnishes use before applying the final varnish. It is very easy to sand with very fine sandpapers or with fine steel wool. mtaylor, PeteB, Obormotov and 3 others 5 1 Quote AMALIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted April 19, 2018 Share #423 Posted April 19, 2018 I believe that 'nitro cellulosic filler' that you are using is called sanding sealer in North America.

EdT Posted April 19, 2018 Share #424 Posted April 19, 2018 I believe that nitrocelluose is laquer resin. It makes a good sanding sealer because it is hard. Will check and advise if incorrect.

Amalio Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share #425 Posted April 20, 2018 It is a kind of varnish with a very fast drying, so the wood does not give time to remove the pore. When it dries, it is very soft so it is very easy to polish it later. The final look is very similar to the one that gets the wax with a satin finish that I really like. There are also tapaporos to water with similar results, but I like nitrocellulosic. Remember that it is not a product designed for the final termination, but it is a preparation prior to varnishing, but I use it as a termination.

Amalio Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share #445 Posted May 5, 2018 Hi dvm27 I like to put the curves before the beams to be able to match them all together with a piece of wood lined with sandpaper and made to measure with the appropriate shape. If you place the beams before there will be no possibility of doing so. Thank you. mtaylor and Obormotov 2 Quote AMALIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
