Best to use wax-free shellac as a barrier coat; many finishes that contain polyurethane have adhesion issues with waxy shellac.

Good point!

Thank you, these are great tips. I am less confident when I get to the finishing.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Glad I could help!

Hey :) Really like your videos. Thanks for all the effort put into them. By the way- Regarding of the order you would apply different finishing products- A good rule/advise would be: Always leave waxes to be your last coat, i.e., don't try to topcoat waxes. Take care. Assaf Y. Cohen Israel

Thanks! And that’s a great tip. But a long time since I’ve used anything waxed so didn’t cross my mind. Definitely note worthy though!

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

Thanks!

Why don't you push on your sander? Random orbital sander for example. I put some pressure (not a lot) when I sand.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Just the weight of the sander and your hand is fine. More just adds load to the motor, wears the pad, and makes it harder for the to evacuate. Sand paper is sharp, just on a small level. Sharp things don’t need pressure, they just need to move. If you’ve gotta force it, it’s dull. Just like a kitchen knife.

[@carlabassette8142]

[@MCsCreations]

Thanks for all the tips, Caleb! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thank you! Will do! You too!

[@mikedurkee7296]

well explained. Thank you!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@travelwell8098]

if my finish is streaky, is it because my coat is too thick?

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

That’ll do it, or not stirring it very well before applying

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Nice content Caleb. Yes tell me your secrets on spray finishes - I am about to embark on a project with my wife and I don't want to spend too much time on the finish. I still think you should consider opening a training school and charge tuition. Stay safe sir. Oh by the way the back yard is really looking good.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks! Once the pool house is done and I've got a restroom for students to use I'll be figuring out if the insurance makes it feasible to do classes. The spray video is coming!
