‘Surface Preparation’ is so called because it is absolutely essential to properly and thoroughly prepare the wood before any polishing can be carried out with any degree of success.
.
Furthermore it is not just sanding – you will be shown and will practice fine hand planing of the surface, followed by use of hand scrapers and scraper planes; only then finally will you do some finish sanding with the very best of top quality papers and equipment, demonstrating the advantages of dust extraction during sanding.
.
In the polishing module you will mainly carry out some simple french polishing techniques and waxing, learning how to make, store and use french polishing rubbers and will be able to take them home along with some polish.
.
Other finishes take longer to dry but there will be demonstrations of oil finishes, acrylic / water based lacquer / varnish and various grain fillers/sanding sealers.
