    Mohawk Duracoat Pre Cat lacquer

    Well, I hadn't considered colors. I could see that being more of a problem. I can't put my finger on it, but colored lacquers do give more problems. I've had chipping with colors especially darker colors(usually under sinks(moisture?)), but not clears. I agree the specs are best practice for a...

    Mohawk Duracoat Pre Cat lacquer

    Don't take this as criticism. Just my experiences here, but I used four to six coats of SW pre-cat on table and conference table tops with no detrimental effects. There was level sanding between every couple coats. Basically using it as a grain filler. This being over the course of the last...

    Mohawk Duracoat Pre Cat lacquer

    It's not required but a Vinyl sealer will give a little bit more durable finish. It should be on the label if it pre-cat. Absent any information on the label, assume it's conventional(uncat).

    Lye aging for cherry

    Potassium Hydroxide(Lye) will work on cherry I've used it with excellent results in the past. Very predictable and repeatable results. It's been a while since I used it. I don't recall the exact procedure. My best advise is to do samples and start with a weak solution. Lye is readily available...

    Router Plane

    I have had the Veritas for several years with the full range of cutters, plus the inlay cutter set. In the box I made for it I included a place for a second one to be purchased in the near future. I've very pleased with its performance and enjoy using it.

    Mohawk Duracoat Pre Cat lacquer

    Not Bob, but you can inquire at any store and get product delivered, but you would need to know what product you want. Not all Sherwin-Williams stores carry furniture and cabinet finishes and all are not versed on that type finishes. Here in Piedmont NC, Reidsville, Winston Salem and near by...

    Mohawk Duracoat Pre Cat lacquer

    RE: Sherwin Williams PreCat This product is being discontinued(T77F37 & F38). Closest product is T77F58 & uses a different catalyst. Main difference seems to be price. Higher!

    Spar Urethane not fully covering walnut

    Just as an aside it appears to be something in the Mahogany family.

    Router collet extention

    "bit extension on a 1.75 hp router with a 1/2" shank 1.5 diameter flattening bit." Yea, that would be a No.

    WATCH WINDER

    Most spin either direction or a combination of both depending on the brand of watch's requirements. Also different on off times. More to them than you would surmise by just a casual glance!

    Woodworking vs HVAC?

    I've always wondered why people have such a hard time understanding overhead. Everyone should be in business at some point to understand why it's not just what you think a person should get an hour. Tony

    Kreg Precision Bandsaw fence

    Update: I kept studying about why the micro adjustment did not work as made or designed. The adjuster stud did not line up with the fence thread hole. After much tinkering I have mine working as I think it was intended. I re-chased the treads in the fence and made sure to align the fence so...

    Finishing lacewood

    I've had good luck using Antique oil(base coat) and lacquer(pre-cat) topcoats. I've got pieces that have been finished for at least 10 years and have held up well and still look good. Only surface prep was sanding. While I'm allergic to poison oak/ivy. I've never experienced any reactions from...

    Kreg Precision Bandsaw fence

    I have one I've been using for about two years on an old Delta 14" saw. When I bought it I was intrigued by the micro adjustment, but in reality it just doesn't work as it's supposed to. It binds because of poor design. I love the function of the fence and the ability to change to a low fence...
