Sanding & Finishing Basics

[Robbo3]

There seem to have been several threads asking questions about finishing.
The Peter Child web site has 9 helpful pages :

• Removing rough grain, filling holes and cracks
• Sanding - all about abrasives
• Which is the best polish?
• Polishing with wax
• Cellulose sealers, polishes, melamine
• Shellac based sealers and polishes. Friction polish
• Finishing oils. Danish oil. Food safe oil.
• Water based finishes. Acrylics
• Synthetics. Waterproof finish
