What sets professional woodworking apart from amateur? For those in the know, there are various giveaways – but finish is arguably the single biggest distinction.<\/span><\/p>\n

DIYers tend to view the application of varnish or paint as a kind of coup de grace<\/em> that they can use to mark the successful completion of a project. (Remember those thick, one-size-fits-all ‘one coat’ polyurethane varnishes that were popular 20 years ago?) Professionals, on the other hand, consider finishing as an extension of the production process. They approach it as a multi-stage operation, with subtleties that reflect the particular demands of the task in hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

While it’s true that every quality finish is different, pros tend to begin from the same starting point, a ‘one-two’ in which the piece is first painted or varnished and then sanded down. Sometimes those two procedures are repeated several times over, while for other practitioners once-through is enough. <\/span><\/p>\n

But ‘sanding down’ remains vitally important. Where the amateur’s hand-brushed varnish or paint job is allowed to stand with all its irregularities, the pro sands down every coat – even if it was applied in a spray booth.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, you’ve committed to the old one-two. You want to apply the best finish, and you want to sand it down properly. Which products should you be using?<\/span><\/p>\n

Stains, lacquers and varnishes are easy. In fact, if you’re a Redwood customer, you’ll already be aware of our fondness for the products of the German manufacturer Hesse Lignal. We’ve found Hesse stains and lacquers to deliver consistently high-quality finishes with excellent levelling properties – and their comprehensive range has solutions for professional woodworking operations at every scale, whether they’re lone practitioners or running a full-scale production line. <\/span><\/p>\n

But even the best-behaved coating won’t eliminate the need for sanding down. We’re on a mission to get our customers to upgrade their abrasives, and we’ve made a number of high-profile converts to the products of our preferred supplier Sia Abrasives. Sia’s sanding disks and other consumables are both long-lived and easily replaceable. <\/span><\/p>\n

With a finishing process based on the one-two of Hesse and Sia, you simply can’t go wrong. Give us a ring to learn more.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
