<\/p>\n
The vast majority of hobbyist woodworkers, and quite a few professional woodworkers – who might only complete a project or two a month – do their finishing by hand. However, as you begin to undertake more projects, or you move to making larger pieces, it’s natural to start thinking about spray finishing.<\/p>\n
There are at least three good reasons for considering a switch to spray finishing<\/a>. First, it’s surprisingly easy to achieve a near perfect finish with spraying. With practice, you’ll be able to apply the finish more evenly and uniformly in a lot less time than you would by hand. Second, because a spray finish goes on thinner than a brushed finish, it dries faster. Dust doesn’t have as much time to contaminate the surface, and you can apply any follow-up coats that much sooner. Third, because spray finishes are fast and easy to apply, you can spend more time building projects rather than finishing them.<\/p>\n
