Applying Finishes: Techniques, Tips, and Problem-Solving Tricks

by Bob Flexner

In Applying Finishes, America's top finishing expert, Bob Flexner, explains the exact steps to follow to achieve the kind of beautiful finish you want. His direct, no-nonsense style cuts through the hyperbole and half-truths that surround finishing to show you how to choose the perfect finish for superior results on every project; apply stains without blotching - even on hard-to-stain woods like pine and cherry; and use glazes and rubbing compounds to attain a flawless, glowing finish that's free from runs, sags, cracks, or splotches.
Also included are four project plans, complete with explicit finishing instructions so you can see precisely how Bob's techniques work.
