Applying Lacquer to Lathe-turned Projects (4th in the series) with Sam Angelo

[@gregjones3453]

Thanks for sharing your wood sealers and finishes👍

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Good stuff. Finishes are always a bit of a learning curve to new woodturners til they find what they like that works for them.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Mike, I enjoyed our visit the other day. I always learn something.... Re: the finishing-I am always happy to add to the confusion. We watched episode 2 of the Q's Gambit. Crazy but really good. Sam

[@davidmorgan7522]

Very informative video Sam! Thanks! Take care, Dave

[@johnwallace4408]

Sam, another educational video! The most important thing I have learned about lacquer is for one to learn what lacquer will and will not do. That way when a flaw occurs, one will know how to repair the finish!

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Good point Sam

[@carolriley8472]

Great info, especially on laquer!

[@jerrylindberg5583]

Good Info, I really like the bottom of your bowl. Look forward to seeing the top.

Hi. Sam. I find using Ubeaut EEE burnishing cream "which I saw you using in one of your earlier videos" and Ubeaut Glow friction polish brings up a really good shine on most woods without changing the colour apart for making the grain pop, especially wood and resin combos, If I want a really high gloss I use a spray lacquer. and a food safe oil on items likely to be used with food. I like some of your DIY recipes, might save a few dollars. Very informative series.. I love the use of your Lazy Susan for spraying very ingenious.. Stay safe Thanks... Wolfgang in Australia.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Wolf, The weather here is cooling off in the evenings and early mornings. Soon it will be winter and -20º F. That means summer is coming your way. Sam

[@golf2actual375]

No blonde jokes! Very informative video -- thanks.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Don't get me started.....maybe in my next Notes video......2 blondes walk into a bar...... 2 blondes, a priest and a plumber were on a plane and only had one parachute. yea let me think about this. See, i'm already in trouble. Sam

[@MarklTucson]

That was helpful. I looked at using lacquer when I was building furniture but always found alternatives because it seemed to be more fussy and require better equipment (like a spray gun) than the alternative finishes. It looks like this is more adaptable to turned pieces.

[@glencrandall7051]

I always enjoy your videos Sam. There is always something in them for me to learn. Up to now most of the finish I have used has been wipe on poly. I have been thinking about trying shellac. I think I will not try lacquer as I do not have the appropriate respirator. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Yes lacquer is nasty stuff, good point about the respirator. Sam

[@arniem59]

Great info Sam! How much do you cut the brushing lacquer from what comes in the can?

[@billy19461]

I have tried shine juice several times and have never had any luck.

[@wahtiewoodturning]

Thank you for another finishing video! Finishes are my current focus! Would you be willing to share your homemade laquer friction polish recipe?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Equal parts of lacquer thinner, lacquer, and boiled linseed oil. I covered it in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX_SZoRjqNJ_n6s Sam

[@pablogazmuri5656]

When you brush lacquer I assume it is thin with lacquer thinner. What is the proportion of the mix?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Pablo first I see that you subscribe to my channel 9 years ago. I thank you very much. Yes I do thin my lacquer down quite a bit. Not sure about the proportions however Sam

[@jackmiyamoto5270]

Sam another great video. What did you use to cut the brush-on lacquer? Denatured alcohol? Thanks Jack

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

LACQUER thinner....

[@joecrocker8930]

Sam, have you used a tung oil / mineral spirits / poly finish?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Not yet-but need to. Sam

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I would not expect big difference between 1/3 BLO vs 1/3 Tung oil as both are drying oils.

[@jeffgrzeca2827]

Sam, what are your proportions for your BLO, lacquer, thinner mix?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

I just start with equal parts of each. Keep in mind the lacquer thinner will evaporate a bit so you need to monitor the viscosity after a while. It can be too thick or too thin. You can always add more lacquer thinner. Sam

[@timothylarson3583]

If you want more of the finish to soak into the wood, don’t sand to as fine a grit… maybe 220/240 max

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Good point thanks Sam

[@GeraldJensen]

Blond/Blonde ... all the same to me. Beside, this is woodturning, not spelling!
