The more you do the btter you get at it

Hi all,

Have been practicing my spraying of lacquer and after a fair amount of pain I can really see some improvement in the end result. This coffee table is the best finish yet, pretty happy with it :).

Not trying to gloat here as I still have a long way to go until I am truly satisfied with the quality of my finishes. Anyway just thought there might be others out there like me trying to get there and thought I would share my improvement.

What I have learnt is spraying is worth it and although there is a lot to learn it isn't impossible. I am glad I have persisted and will keep going until I have it spot on.

Cheers,

Buz.

Looks real good Buz. Jarrah takes on an especially beautiful appearance with lacquer. Other lighter timbers come up pretty well with many differrent finishes. But Jarrah seems "made" for lacquer, IMHO.

Buz - any tips you've learnt on the way?

Hi Greenie,

Yep...read all the threads you can find on here about spraying, they were terrific help. Richard Woodheads is the one of the best threads, lots of great contributions from many people. Thanks to all.

More material is best and lots of practice. Change the settings on one item (air pressure, fan etc) at a time and if possible watch someone spray. Everyone is different but you can learn so much watching what someone does that you might miss if thery were trying to explain it.

Cheers,

Buz.
