Professional woodworker Andy Charron completely explains why spray-finishing is a lot less trouble than it used to be. He takes the mystery out of equipment, finishes, methods of application, coloring wood, specialty items, cleanup and troubleshooting, and explains technological breakthroughs such as water-based finishes and HVLP (high volume, low pressure) systems that offer new options.
Youll learn how to achieve a perfectly sprayed finish. Charron shows you how to choose the right system and how each system works and gives a variety of techniques for using them. Youll discover how to set up spray booths and rooms for maximum efficiency, how to choose the right equipment, including compressors, spray guns, filters and complete systems. Charts, sources of supply and a handy material, equipment and application reference are also included.
