    Can you apply cellulose lacquer by hand, any tips.

    Late to the party as always... You're right, Richard, that the hot weather isn't your friend here. It will certainly speed up the drying time. Thanks to bobblezard for his helpful advice and tips. A cloth is ok on fairly small items, but for larger pieces a brush is much better, as you can...

    Spirit stains

    Quick reply: A Cellulose Sanding Sealer is designed to be used straight from the can. If it was meant to be thinner, that's how we'd supply it! It would, after all, be unfair to supply a product then expect anyone to have to buy something else in order to be able to use it. I know that many...

    Spirit stains

    It's normal for some of the stain to show on the cloth you apply the next coat with. (Which sealer did you use? Had you thinned it?) However, the real question is, are you happy with the colour you ended up with? The stain will mark the cloth, certainly, but nowhere near enough of it is removed...

    Question about Cellulose Sanding Sealer

    Thank you for reminding me why I don't often take part in forums... there's always someone who thinks they know more about our products than we do. As you've said already about more modern alternatives, so it is with zinc stearate; it is not used in our Cellulose Sanding Sealer and hasn't been...

    Richard Findley - Live Conkers Demo

    An interesting idea Brian, and this has made me think about options for demos. I'd need to speak to demonstrators as well. So, a quick straw poll...think about the cost of buying a DVD etc, and the charges for other on-line demos... If we found a system for making the demos available AFTER...

    Richard Findley - Live Conkers Demo

    Thanks Richard. When we've got a few more demos under our belt (we've got them booked up to May next year so far!) we'll look into options. I'll pass on your comments to Richard!
