	Wood finishing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wood finishing refers to the process of embellishing and/or protecting the surface of wooden objects.
		Once the wood surface is prepared and stained, a number of coats of finish may be applied, often sanding between coats.
		Commonly used wood finishes include wax, shellac, drying oils (such as linseed oil or tung oil), lacquer, varnish, or paint.

	Wood Finishing: Reducing Waste and Cost Saving Ideas - MnTAP
		Wood finishing shops should also be concerned about disposal of waste solvents, finishes and rags, which are often considered hazardous waste.
		A finish is tested by placing a finished sample in a cooler with dry ice, then warming it to simulate the dramatic temperature changes the product could experience moving from unheated storage to trucks and then to showrooms or homes.
		The solvent in the finish is highly atomized along with the paint solids increasing VOC emissions from the solvent in the finish.

	Wood Finishing Terms, Definitions, Glossary
		A coating used to isolate a dye, stain, glaze, or topcoat either from the surface to which it is applied or a previous coating for the purpose of increasing adhesion, insuring compatibility, or isolating contamination.
		Narrow (or wide curtain-like) downward movement of a film finish; may be caused by the application of too much coating, the collection of excess quantities of finish at irregularities in the surface (cracks, holes, etc.), or excessive material continuing to flow after the surrounding surface has set.
		A coat of highly thinned finish used to partially seal the wood's surface before a dye, stain, glaze, or toner is applied.

	Just Fix It -- Wood Finishing and Repair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		If the original finish was coated with polyurethane or urethane (hard, durable finishes typically used on tabletops, for example), scratches are difficult to repair.
		However, often floors are sanded and refinished because th is is the easiest route to a perfect new finish or because the homeowners want to lighten the whole surface.
		All stains, scratches, and damaged finish are removed with sanding, leaving the surface flat, smooth and ready for a new stain and clear finish.

	ICS on Fine Wood (Re)Finishing
		Paste wood fillers are important because the grooves and crevices in the grain, if left unfilled, will magnify when the topcoat or "varnish" is applied.
		It is wise, however, to test or experiment with the stain on a scrap piece of wood or in an inconspicuous spot like the underside or back of the piece being (re)finished.
		Experienced (re)finishers sometimes finish with an application of paste wax using very fine (#0000) steel wool and a cloth buffing to assure the smoothest possible appearance.

	Wood Finishing
		The wood surface should be evenly sanded to a 150 or 220 grit uniform surface.
		As the finish is built up into a more level surface, the grit number of the abrasives used between coats is increased.
		When using this type of finish, there is no need to sand the wood surface with anything higher than 180 or 220 grit sandpaper prior to finishing.

	Understanding Wood Finishes
		The term finish is often used loosely to refer to any chemical that is applied to wood.
		The durability of a wood finish is an important part of protecting the wood beneath.

	Woodcarving, Finishing Your Wood Pojects
		The very whiteness of the wood makes it easy to transfer pattern lines but can be very uninteresting in the finished stage.
		The closed off tiny room in the corner of the basement on a very cold winter day is not a good place to apply varnish or urethane nor is out on the picnic table during the summer heat.
		There is nothing more heart breaking than to have applied a fantastic coat of finish, set it outside to dry, and come back an hour later to check it, to find six thousand gnats have permanently glued themselves right to your project.

		Given the abundance of titles on wood finishing published in 1993, librarians might be inclined to dismiss this one, which would be a definite mistake.
		Read only if you share the author's point of view that the only worthwhile finishes are lackers and such things that woodworking and craftsmen all over the world would say create a plastic and fake looking result, or if your only goal is to make the wood look like a mirror.
		There are many other authors that touch on finishing in their woodworking books and speak more of their experience than their opinion or prejudice, and are a much better read.

	Wood Finishing by Erl's Carved Signs
		Finishing outdoor wood is tricky because of sun and rain.
		It is recommended that your sign(s) be reasonably sheltered because unmaintained clear finishes do not look good for much longer than a season (9 months max) if exposed to full sun and rain.
		An easy to maintain, (but) for reasonably sheltered wood only, outdoor finish system in my opinion is 3 or 4 coats of Zip-Guard urethane.

		Tung oil (china wood oil) received wide application in China: in the building trades as a treatment for both stone and wooden structures; in marine trades as a preservative and water repellant on wooden boats.
		More recently, tung oil has gained favor over linseed oil for wood finishing because it is faster drying and does not darken as much with age.
		Pure Tung Oil's matte finish will do nicely on certain pieces of furniture, but if a glossy finish is preferred you will need to buff and wax the finish, or use polymerized tung oil or a formulated tung oil based product.
