Jerry, I am finishing boxes. Some are 6" square, to 6"x9" and others. I really have a hard time doing the inside of these boxes. I did a little research on applying shellac and french polishing and I may be getting some aspects of the two mixed up. Or it may be the denatured alchohol in my closed up garage that's screwing me up. Even on the outside, I can't seem to get a good even coat without smudges from the pad on it. I've kinda given up on it and gone back to spraying lacquer for now, as the boxes are backing up a little. It's really frustrating because I'm usually able to do anything that I set my mind to with just a little practice. I just can't seem to get the hang of this right now. I'm sure I'll try again later this year. Right now the conditions are perfect for spraying lacquer. But when Summer hits, not so much.
Thanks for responding, Kevin |
