Nice to kmow we have a genuine pro here helping us amateurs, especially when we can see the results of your work.
Beautiful work.

Very nice again.

What and how do you apply your finish?

The finish on this project was an oil base custom mix penetrating stain, applied with rags and brushs. The clear coat is a waterbased polyurethane, sprayed on.

What do you use to spray? I have a Fuji Q4 that I am thinking about sending back and just buying an HVLP gun from HF during the sale.

[cabinetman]

I've used an HVLP, but all the work that I display here was done with the Binks 7 copy that is sold under many names. I've got several guns, and I dedicate a gun only to lacquer, or to waterbase, and I don't ever use one for the other. Getting a good finish is very easy, once you get the hang of the process. I primarily do waterbase finishes now, and can get a lacquer look and feel. It's much easier to use, not toxic like lacquer, and cleans up with water.

I know who to ask cabinet questions to now. Beautiful.

One more question being I am going to do some panels in my office at home. Do you spray all the finishing on each piece at your shop or spray the whole completed project when finished?

I'm sure you stain them at the shop but was more interested in the final clear coat.

Thanks in advance.

Staining and finishing (clear coat) is all done before installation. All casework and moulding is carried to the job finished. Touch-ups are done when the installation is complete.
