The Woodfinishing Video
with Michael Dresdner
40 minutes
Michael Dresdner visits three woodfinishing experts who teach you how you can achieve beautiful results in your own home workshop. You’ll see how to apply stains and glazes to both softwoods and hardwoods. You’ll learn about polyurethane varnish and the new water-based varnishes. You’ll also see how to wipe on finish with a rag and how to spray. The heart of the tape shows you how to brush on a flawless varnish finish. Dresdner and his friends explain how to:
• Select the right finish
• Prepare the surface
• Stain and glaze to get the color you want
• Apply the new water-based varnishes
• Brush varnish perfectly
• Rub out the top coat
