If you don’t have access to spraying equipment, this aerosol lacquer will give you a great finish quickly and easily. A spray application is particularly relevant when trying to achieve the best glossy finish possible. Acrylic Gloss Lacquer is a high build water-based lacquer specially adapted to give the best delivery through the nozzle (chosen to give excellent results without spitting, spotting or clogging in normal use) without, of course, the use of CFCs. The lacquer itself dries quickly to give a high gloss finish straight from the can which has the benefit of being extremely hard wearing and durable – so much so that it can be used on items that will be kept outdoors or used in areas where moisture could damage other finishes. Acrylic Gloss Lacquer is touch dry and tack-free in around five minutes and hard dry in twenty minutes, ready for a second coat if needed after a light rubdown with a fine abrasive. The sheen level can be increased if required by using Burnishing Cream (which will not affect the durability) or, after allowing 24 hours to ensure it is completely hard dry, by using it in conjunction with the Buffing Wheel Kit.

This water-based sanding sealer gets the job done without the smell associated with solvent-based sealers and also with no flammability issues – ideal for asthma suffers and anyone with an aversion to solvent-based finishes. Applied by cloth, brush or spray (our Foam Brushes are especially good with this) the sealer dries in about 5 minutes and can be overcoated with most compatible finishes after about 20 minutes although two hours should be left if using Acrylic Lacquer. Acrylic Sanding Sealer sands easily with a fine abrasive and is supplied ready for use.

This range of quick-drying, fade-resistant wood stains comes in 12 different colours covering most requirements – and they are fully intermixable just in case you need to vary the colours! Dry in a matter of minutes they don’t raise the grain at all and can be overcoated with most finishes, although a little care is needed when applying a solvent-based finish. Ideal for colour matching when making repairs or adding to an existing furniture range, or for highlighting the grain of new work and disguising its newness!

End Seal is an emulsified paraffin wax used the seal the ends of freshly cut timber to slow down the drying process and reduce the risk of timber splitting. It can also be used on work-in-progress that is being left unfinished where there is a risk of the timber splitting. Apply it liberally, normally by brush but it can be sprayed if needed, usually to the smallest surface of the timber which will normally be the end grain where moisture is most likely to escape from. Sealing the surface will encourage the moisture to escape via the larger areas which will result in a slower exit.

Gilt Creams are a creamy, waxy paste with metallic flakes and pigments in them, giving a rich, lustrous finish to whatever they are applied to. The can be used for a ‘limed’ effect over lacquer to give a high contrast effect, or uniformly over a piece and polished to a bright shine once dried. Available in: Gold Silver Copper

Melamine Lacquer can be a bit fiddly to apply and there’s no better way than spraying it. If you don’t have access to spray equipment then this aerosol version is the ideal way. Melamine Gloss Lacquer will quickly build to a bright gloss finish and dries in a matter of minutes. Touch dry and safe to handle within five minutes the lacquer chemically cures to give a tougher finish. The lacquer achieves practically all of this (about 90%) within seven days, after which the process slows and can take up to another two weeks to fully complete. Best used over a Cellulose Sanding Sealer (brushing or aerosol) and can be overcoated with a wax for a softer tactile feel.

When you’re looking for a hard-wearing, heat and water-resistant, quick-drying gloss lacquer you need to look no further than Melamine Lacquer. Based on cellulose technology, Melamine Lacquer has a catalyst suspended within it; when the lacquer is in the can it is inert but once applied and exposed to the air, the lacquer dries within five minutes like cellulose and then the catalyst kicks in and the lacquer go on to chemically cure to give a more durable coating. 90% of the curing process happens in the first seven days after application, making the lacquer very hard-wearing, the remaining 10% of the process can take up to two weeks more to give maximum toughness, something you only need to consider if the lacquer is going to be subjected to extremely hard use. Melamine Lacquer is designed to give a full gloss finish which will be achieved with a very careful application. It can be applied by brush (foam or bristle), cloth or by spraying. Where necessary, use Cellulose Thinners to dilute the product – especially helpful if working on a large area. The gloss level of Melamine Lacquer can be increased by using Burnishing Cream once it has dried, and it can also be overcoated with Friction Polish (to increase the depth of the shine) or WoodWax 22 or Microcrystalline Wax (for a more natural feel).

An exciting and vibrant set of colours for staining wood, Spirit Stains are methanol based to make them quick-drying and because of this they also will not raise the grain of the timber they are applied to. The pigments used to make these stains are of the highest quality and all score the top ratings of 7s and 8s in the Blue Wool Scale, the measuring system used to rate fade resistance. This means you can use them with confidence knowing that the colour you apply will still be the same many years later. Spirit Stains are fully inter-mixable so you can produce virtually any colour you can think of, giving you full opportunity to be as creative as you wish. The colours will also mix after application so you can blend from one colour to another for fantastic ‘flare’ effects. Spirit Stain White is designed primarily as a mixer to create pastel shades when mixed with other Spirit Stain colours. It can be used to stain timber but as it is a translucent stain this can have a limited effect depending on the base colour of the timber used. Should you want a more subtle colour you can dilute the stains with Spirit Thinners for a delicate wash effect.

Shellac Sanding Sealer is the traditional way of sealing timber prior to applying a polish or a wax. Our version has a high percentage of real shellac which means it does the job extremely well, dissolved in an ethanol solution to make it easy to apply and quick drying. Applied by cloth, brush or spray it dries in about 20 minutes, making it very popular for cabinet and architectural work as it is easy to keep a wet edge running. It is also popular with woodturners and highlights the natural grain of the timber extremely well. Sand back lightly after application and apply Friction Polish, French-Polish or any of our waxes on top. Conforms to EN71 Part 3 – suitable for toys and nursery furniture.

Can be used to try the colour or for use as a mixer to make a new colour or for use as a wash. Trial bottles are ideal for use when mixing with Cellulose Sanding Sealer and Melamine Lacquer to make tinted finishes.

This clear, slower drying solvent is primarily for thinning our Spirit Stain to give delicate wash effects without affecting the colour (as methylated spirit would). It can also be used to dilute Friction Polish or French Polish if needed (usually only when the cap has been left off and the product has thickened up). It’s also suitable for use in making french polish if you want to dissolve shellac flakes in it.

Designed for Woodturners, this stick wax is specially shaped to allow it to be applied to pretty much any shape of the item! A mixture of beeswax and carnauba wax is slightly softer than the Carnauba Wax Stick and therefore slightly easier to apply and there are no concerns about it marking softer woods. Applied over a sanding sealer, simply hold the stick against the revolving work and allow the heat generated to melt the wax onto the wood. Buff up straight away using Safety Cloth, using the cloth to ensure an even coating.
