Practical Diary - 16th March 2007

In the last lesson i had planned to apply a layer of varnish to my chair. When the lesson begun we started by discussing the diffrent finishes given by diffrent products. We looked at vanishes like MDF seal, PVA glue and Sand seal. They all gave relitivley good finishes but it was agreed that the sand seal gave the best finish. I begun work by rubbing of any pencil markings before watching a demonstration of the seal being applied. I started varnishing mine and had fully varnished all my peices. I then to get a better finish used wet and dry sand paper to get a smooth finish by taking of any lumpy patches. This then took me to and past the end of the lesson. The next lesson i plan to add another layer of varnish and then sand it down ready for a 3rd layer.
