mrn1989 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) So I stripped off the purple poly finish and decided to have an attempt at staining the wood, it looks ok for a first attempt. I have filled the black areas in with spray paint to make sure its black but now it needs lacquering but I have no clue where to start to get a good result. Can anybody give me advice or even someone that is capable of doing it for me?

mrn1989 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Btw i have since done some wet & dry on the built up areas. I haven't used sanding sealer either, would this make lacquering no possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need is a clean, smooth finish sanded down with the finest paper you can get. I sometimes go down to a 3200 grit, but 1500 might be ok. Then you need a good quality lacquer. You could try Danish oil. I've not used it but others like it. I usually use spray lacquer. If you're stuck I can do it if you mail it to me.

I have a fresh can of spray lacquer which I can send if its any use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
