First flat sand with 1300 or 2000 grit wet and dry to get a FLAT
surface; then, .... Rottenstone and water for gloss, rottenstone and oil for semi-gloss, pumice and and oil for satin. For a 'perfection' surface final coat with an airbrush. The modern acrylic/urethanes can be power buffed (with super fine diotomaceous earth etc. as the 'grit') to make this whole hand-rub process very fast. If you ever have the opportunity to look at the wood trim in top of the line type of private jets or mega yachts or even automobiles.... all the finishes are hand rubbed to a super brilliant surface. A benefit of a flat hand-rubbed surface is longevity. The only finish that is more brilliant than a hand rub on varnish is a 'french-polish' using alcohol and shellac .... but that is NOT for any wet locations. |
