    Default What top coat for these shop cabinet drawer faces please?

    IMG_8877.jpg

    These are shop cabinet drawers.

    They are made from 18mm ply with hard wood onion skin.

    I've already applied two coats of sanding filler.

    Feast Watson 250ml Sanding Sealer
    I/N: 1564778

    Once I sand all the sanding filler off,
    what top coat should I use?

    Feast Watson Sanding Sealer doesn't say whether its oil or water based.

    Just reading thru some of the descriptions I was thinking about glass polish.

    Any suggestions for the top coat for the 18mm ply with hard wood onion skin?

    thanks in advance.
    Thanks,

    Just got off the phone with Feast Watson helpline.

    The sanding sealer is oil based.
    (didn't say on the can)

    For the shop and best durability he suggested
    glass finish - high build - one coat
    or
    floor clear - 2 to 3 coats

    these have strong solvent odor

    use adolox sandpaper for the sanding sealer its grey aliminim
    Thanks,

    It says on the can that if spraying thin with mineral turpentine - contents states it contains liquid hydrocarbons. That's generally a good indication.

    or solvent based -- you need to check the information on thinning and for cleaning up.

    Oil/ solvent bassed realy does not give much information.

    You realy want to know the resin family ...... most modern "varnishes" and their sanding sealers are pollyeurathane ...... older generatioons of varnishes where Alkalide ..... similar to traditional enamel paints ....... the two resin familises don't play well together.

    The you get into Acrillic and nitry bassed solvent laquers.

    you realy need to know your resin family not just the solvent or carrier.

    cheers
