Have gloss finish but want satin - best process??
I've completed my mission style coffee table and am very happy with
the results. My last remaining step is to get the gloss finish to become satin. (the finish is about 10 light wipe on coats of wiping varnish made by mixing 1/3 Behlems Rock Hard Varnish with 1/3 BLO and 1/3 Turpentine). Is 0000 steel wool and wax the best method to get to satin when a wipe on varnish is used? Should I search out Liberon steel wool or is the std. stuff OK? Do I go in only one direction? (long/light sweeps with the grain?) Is there a better process then the steel wool/wax method? Thanks! |
