    Lacquer (Precat or Acid Cat) Gloss Levels and Polishing

    Hi All I am slightly confused around the application of various sheen / gloss levels of pre-cat or 2 pac clear lacquer - say 10%, 50% 90% etc., and then polishing lacquer after it's application. For example, if I apply 50% sheen lacquer (de-nibbing in between coats with P320, 3 coats total)...

    Do you make angle cuts often? I mean anything other than the common mitre cuts for skirting or tapers for table legs?

    Just wondering if people find themselves making odd angle cuts often? I mean apart from the usual 45 degree for mitered boxes or skirting boards, or say tapered cuts for chair legs - do you find yourself making angled cuts much and if so for what?

    Maybe one of the extractors from Record Power? I think the small extractor is a product that could do with more r&d from the manufacturers

    Anybody use Morrells LightFast Stain before?

    Thanks gents, did you find you needed two coats? I have tried it just now on some mdf veneered ash and it didn't seem to go as far as I would have thought. After first coat I can still see the white of the ash in the deeper grains.

    Anyone have a Festool HK85 ?

    Thinking of buying a Festool HK85 but have reservations as it appears mostly aimed at carpenters. I think it would be useful for grooving (with the attachment) and for bevels from 45 to 60 degrees in sheet material. Anyone have it? Would it be useful for sheet materials and is it as accurate as...

    Help with scribe / filler strip please!

    Thanks guys, maybe a chamfer on the edge of each stile, then another chamfer on the fillet strip to create that V look? I guess having everything in the same plane is a better look. Although the plan view I provided doesn't show it, for the bottom (or toekick area) I guess I could also do the...
