The finishing process has many opportunities to make or break the project you\u2019ve worked so hard on. Elisha Albretsen, also known as the Pneumatic Addict, is opening her bag of tricks to help you get the best possible finish when you\u2019re painting your projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lots of application choices<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are many ways to apply paint to your woodworking projects; brushing, rolling, spraying with an aerosol can or spray system\u2026 Each of these choices has advantages and disadvantages. The application method you choose may depend on the scope of the project, the finishing environment, your skill level, or some combination of all those factors. Elisha will help you narrow down your choices to make sure the method you\u2019re choosing can work, and work well, for your project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Setting up for success<\/strong><br \/>\nHave you heard the expression \u201cPlan your work, and work your plan\u201d? There aren\u2019t many places more important to apply this concept than finishing. We\u2019re not slapping paint on a picket fence; we\u2019re getting a great coat of paint on a woodworking project you\u2019ve worked hard on. You\u2019ll learn about the best possible materials, prepping your paint, fine-tuning the device you\u2019re using to put paint on, keeping a wet edge, and more. Elisha\u2019s tips will help you every step of the way.<br \/>\nThis class will help you get to the finish line on your painted woodworking projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paint friendly materials<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019ve unhappily experienced carefully sanding a project, applying paint, and suddenly no longer having a glass-smooth surface, it\u2019s probably because you chose the wrong material for your paint-grade project. There are man-made and natural materials that lend themselves to superior painting surfaces, and some you should avoid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finishing is always an incredibly important part of any project.
