Used it today on a customers kitchen cabinets and I won't buy any other
Primer for wood again. It took a little getting use to because its so thin
right out of the can. Had a few runs but after adjusting the gun, couldn't
believe how easy this stuff flowed. It dried fast and the finish was smooth
as glass. I doubt I'll even have to sand it, its sooooo smooth!!! I'm
SOLD!!!

The questing now is. How does this stuff sand? Have to sand out the few runs
I had.

That's my favorite primer. I have used it on many, many projects and
it never fails to perform. I dries fast enough that I don't get nibs,
and if I put on the right amount I agree with you; it dries smooth as
a baby's butt.

And two coats... it is almost like cheating.

It is soft, though. If I sand it, I use 320g on it. I have found
that 220g leaves witness marks from the paper, no matter how careful I
am. But I will say this; if it goes on well and the surfaces stay
clean, I don't sand at all. Just lay down the finish after it dries
(I give it an hour).

Do you shoot it or brush it? I've only used it once in a 55F house
and didn't have much luck in brushing it. Do you thin it to brush?

I always spray it. One of the neat features about it is that you don't
need to thin when using a 1.4 tip. I have shot that stuff when the
temps were in the 50s and when it is in the 90s, and it behaves just
the same.

I shoot it out of a cheap, HVLP/CAS gun with a 20 oz cup on top, and
that is the gun's only job. I don't do anything else with that gun.

I have tried brushing the BIN, and when in a pinch or working on
something small, I use it from the can unthinned. It still works
pretty damn well.

When I brush/roll a primer, I go back to Sherwin Williams Pro Block
line. It rolls well, brushes well, and dries soft so you can sand
easily. You can't spray this stuff as it has a small amount of filler
(either quartzite or some kind of glass) in it that makes it perfect
for stain blocking and filling small imperfections. It will jam your
guns immediately.

I prefer the finer paper, too. 320 or 400 between coats.

Those softer substrates seem to prefer those higher grits. I don't
ever sand wood beyond 220g as I have seen enough from my finishing
brethren to agree that beyond that you can lessen adhesion. But
everything sticks to BIN quite well, so I am more interested in
whether a poor surface will reflect back through my finish.

BIN has been around for ages. And like DEFT brand lacquer, it has
been around under our noses so long we forget how good that stuff
really is at turning out a great product.

I might as well forget everything I learned about finishing.
The sign requirements are vastly different.
Good thing I still get to use the techniques I learned over the last
40 years.
But the material choices are all new to me. Some make sense, so don't.
Hot/cold/wet/dry/UV on new (to me) substrates...
My trusty BIN's and Defts aren't recommended for those conditions. I
used a LOT of Deft on countertop wooden edges...
I have to think more like automotive.
S'all good though.

You'll also get it building up on the sandpaper if you don't sand
extremely lightly.

BIN is shellac based. It may look and feel dry after an hour, but it
isn't. I usually wait at least over the weekend before I do any sanding
of shellac. The longer you can wait the better. It's been said that
shellac just keeps getting harder forever.

BIN is a three pound cut of shellac pigmented with titanium dioxide and
some silicates. Normally, brushing unpigmented shellac is done with an
approximately 1.5 pound cut (made from diluting 3 lb shellac with an equal
volume of alcohol) but once you have enough experience, you can use the
three pound cut as is. I suspect the BIN that comes in spray cans is less
than a three pound cut.

Shellac is an evaporative finish. That means once the solvent
evaporates, the resulting film will not get any harder. It typically takes
two hours to be sure that all the alcohol has evaporated from BIN. That's
the beauty of using it. A topcoat can be applied about two hours after the
BIN goes on. I would like to know who told you that shellac keeps getting
harder forever. If it is taking significantly longer than two hours, the
BIN may have gone bad as old shellac typically does. It becomes gummy, will
not "dry" completely, and clogs sandpaper very easily.

Good Luck

The fellow is not applying just shellac or pigmented shallac as in the
case of BIN. He is french polishing using a mixture of a drying oil
(linseed) and a non-drying oil (mineral oil). While the mineral oil can be
"spirited off" at the end, the linseed oil is not and continues to cure and
makes for a soft film until completely cured. Linseed oil, "boiled" or not,
takes quite some time to fully cure.
Interesting site, though.

Good Luck

He is *not* using a mixture. Read more carefully:

"For my own finishing, I have never been able to decide between mineral
oil, which doesn't, or linseed oil, which does. So, I use both. Which one
depends on my mood at the time. Sometimes I give up and use Mystery Oil
just to prove to myself that it really doesn't matter."

And his comment on hardening applies to shellac in general, not just the
French Polish technique. Again read:

"Shellac will continue to dry and harden for several years, depending on
the environment, but a couple weeks is usually sufficient for normal
handling and polishing."

And I know he meant that to be shellac in general because he has said so.

(Not an expert by any means, but my 2¢, free of charge):
In my experience, thin layers of shellac dry to "hard" almost within 10
minutes. After some more time, it may eventually become "rock-hard".

bug juice works for me. Ambergris would be too strong, I think:

Wikipedia:
Ambergris (Ambra grisea, Ambre gris, ambergrease, or grey amber) is a
solid, waxy, flammable substance of a dull gray or blackish color
produced in the digestive system of and regurgitated or excreted by sperm
whales.

Freshly produced ambergris has a marine, fecal odor. However, as it ages,
it acquires a sweet, earthy scent commonly likened to the fragrance of
rubbing alcohol without the vaporous chemical astringency. The principal
historical use of ambergris was as a fixative in perfumery, though it has
now been largely displaced by synthetics.

I'm just joshing with Han. The "bug juice" primarily
intended was that mystery concoction poured out
at summer camp.

Is it the cochineal insect (mealy bug) that makes
the red M&Ms special?

There is an "Insect Fair" here every year with an
assortment of edible six-legs on the menu. In
Vietnam there is a tasty moth attracted to the same
campfires which serve as fast-food outlets for the
humans sitting around. Roasted beetles distinctive
for their nutty flavor are a roadside standard in Thailand.
Witchetty grubs are famous native fare in the Australian
interior. Eating bugs is natural. But that thoseWicthetty
grubs look a bit much like Jabba The Hutt wouldn't
help them with Star Wars fans here.

I don't know if the switch to synthetic alternatives
has killed the ambergris market but I do know that if not,
a large lump can be worth well into the six figures no
matter
the original fragrance alerting the beachcomber's
nose.

BTW, the bug responsible for shellac derived the name
"Lac" from the word for "hundred thousand", it taking
300,000
individuals to yield a kilogram of shellac.

Here's a comment on the insect's use of its protective
coating which may have bearing on the hardness discussion:

When it has fixed its position and inserted its probocis
into the trees it secretes a protective coating consisting
of a dark red chitinous scale and a yellow to reddish resin
called the lac resin. The insects mature under the
protective covering of the resin which becomes hard. Wax
glands near the vital pores - the oval region, the breathing
pores and the anal pore keep them open by secreting wax
filaments.

"Hello muddah, hello faddah" ... thought all this time that was just a
"figment of imagination" song.

Went to a wedding, with a "summer camp" theme, in Fredericksburg, TX
last weekend. The couple met in a Jewish summer camp in the Texas hill
country some fifteen years ago. The rehearsal dinner on Saturday evening
was MC'ed by their camp counselor at the time, and the dress was "summer
camp casual".

They served "smore's" (?) ... apparently a staple of summer camp cuisine
and something I'd never heard of, not having ever gone to a "camp" as a
kid, except to hunt or fish.

It was a hoot, in the expected juvenile sort of way ... but they did
enjoy that shellac'ed table ... to wander back on topic.

Dry to the touch in one second if you're French polishing,
two hour wait between sessions is enough to prevent

A final polish with swirl remover a week after letting the

In our case, it never was too bad, and further medical discussion is not
appropriate. Suffice it to say that it /can/ be very bad, and indeed
exposure to intense light of rather low wavelengths helps a lot. But who
really has time for a half hour or more each morning just sitting in a
"tanning booth"-like environment?

Metropolitan.

Yeah, those metropolitans can be a tough audience, wot?

I'm proud of my hermitlike existence since it shelters me from this
type of challenge, of duality in life. Thanks for the heads-up, Ed.

oh hell, Ed, Han, and LJ,
I can usually follow a conversation, but after drinking a quart of
potent muscadine wine and listening to the entire "OH brother,
where art thou" sound track, you three have confused the hell
out of me, possibly I'll try again in the morning and it will all make
sense, (Not).

Ed used the "W" word. It/they will never make sense to us. After
that, I let the "traction alopecia" float on by, unacknowledged.
Try it, you'll like it!

Wimmenfolk. Put up pictures and ask whether or not they like it.
Then, and only then, you build it, eh?

OH:

It makes a catchy acronym: SAD. My memory for the articles
seen on this is sketchy but therapeutic high points that did
stick were exposure to polarized light, vitamin D and vigorous
excercise before the first meal of the day. Control experiments on the
last point associated the practice with weight control benefits
significantly more impressive than excercise at other times.

Whether any of these approaches have been debunked, sustained
or superceded by alternatives will arise in your inquiry.

Maybe you could teach her woodworking....

No booth required. See my other post for portables and desktops as
well as floor models.

While you read the paper, work on your laptop, or eat breakfast?
EVERYONE HAS TIME. _Especially_ if the doctor ordered it.

P.S: I'll develop a waterproof model for the shower. I'll get rich!

I like that line.
We had a great time at Mohonk - it's a grand old resort on top of a
"mountain" near New Paltz, NY. Some pictures to follow. Wood content
present but of dubious woodworker quality.
