Finishing wood product

The final payment stage or finishing of a wooden product is the last step in making a wooden product.

The final payment stage or finishing of a wooden product is the last step in making a wooden product.

At this stage, after sanding the work surface, they start finishing by choosing a suitable method. Why?

Reasons for finishing a wood product include the following:

• Product durability increases
• The beauty of the wood product is doubled
• Product resistance to moisture and water increases
• and …

A variety of products are used for finishing wood products.

from wood wax to linseed oil, varnish, slag, varnish and… each of these are used for a specific purpose.

There are some misconceptions about wood product finishing.

In this article, we intend to correct these misconceptions. Stay with us.

1. Tong oil is the best wood product finish you can use!

What is Tong Oil? Tang oil is the same as Chinese wood oil.

This oil is obtained from the seeds of native trees in Asia.

Of course, this tree is now planted in many parts of the world.

It is difficult to use tang oil for finishing.

It is also emphasized on the cans of this oil that it has high durability and penetration.

While in reality this is not the case.

It all started with a TV commercial.

Where Tong oil was introduced as one of the suitable products for finishing.

In this advertisement, along with Chinese oil, varnish-varnish oils were also included in the package.

The reason people could do the final product finishes so well was the varnish, not the tang oil!

This ad created one of the most common misconceptions about product finishing.

That the cans labeled with tang oil contain exactly the tang oil.
In addition, many companies launched their Tung oil product under the Tung oil label.

Do not forget that 100 percent Tung oil is written on the cans of pure tung oil.

This product does not contain chemical compounds and extracts and it takes two to three days to dry.

۲. Varnish oil - like Watco - is suitable for finishing wood products because

it protects the internal texture of the wood.

When trying to sell a product with an overly soft finish to protect the workpiece surface,

you need to think of one thing.

This is not true because wood oil penetrates deeper into wood than fast-drying finishes.

All oils and combinations of varnish oils are notorious for staining.

If you use one of these finishes, you should be careful to moisten the wood before applying the finish.

Sand the protruding tissues. This will significantly reduce water staining.

3. The only product suitable for finishing meat boards,

salad bowls and baby accessories is oily products without metallic dryer.

If so, how about using the same finish used for salad bowls or salad-bowl finishes?

These finishes take several weeks to dry because they are done with a metallic drying varnish.

In fact, in the salad-bowl finishing, metallic desiccant is used.

There is no problem. The FDA has approved that metallic dryers can be used for products that come in direct contact with food.

However, this requires that the product finishing steps be completed and completed correctly.

This is something you have to pay attention to. So regardless of everything you have seen or heard, it is enough for the wood cover to dry completely.

In this case, there is no danger.

4. The pigment stains the surface of the wood.

Not so! Surely by now you have used wood paints that contain pigment.

Because all paints that are sold in paint stores are included in this material.

Therefore, when the excess material is removed from the surface of the wood, the nature of the wood does not disappear. Rather, its surface manifests itself more.

Of course, if you apply the paint or stain too thick on the wood, the surface of the wood is not well visible.

Of course, no one is in favor of such a thing!

5. To increase the adhesion in finishing the wood product, you should use a sealer layer

If this is true then why not use a sealant under polyurethane?

On the other hand, why is a sealant layer rarely seen under water-based finishes?

Why is this sublayer not used for slash finishing?

Does it make sense that varnishes and varnishes need a layer of sealant for finishing? What if the rest of the finishes are not like that?

The fact is that the first coating in any type of finishing is completely covered on the work surface.

It does not matter if the layer is hard or thin.

Special finishes are used when a special payment is to be made for a wood product and a defect is rectified.

Sealer is easier to sand when used under varnish and varnish. Also, when slag is used as the first coat, the degree of hardness of sanding the product decreases. So different sealers are used for different purposes.

6. Slag is the best sealer and is one of the natural methods of finishing a wooden product.

Slag is one of the evaporative finishes and its drying is due to the evaporation of alcohol in the air.

This method is one of the fast finishing methods and does not require much time to do.
Slag is known as the best sealer when a defect in a wood product is to be repaired.

For example, when the product in question is to be easier to modify and repair, slash finishing is used.

If this is true then why aren't the big furniture industries using this product for finishing?

The furniture industry spends a lot of money to finish their products.

They also do not use slaps for finishing. Because this product is less durable than other cases.

On the other hand, slash finishing is brighter and brighter. Remember that the surface on which the slag finish is applied should not come into contact with alcohol.
Undoubtedly, if this product was the best sealer, the big furniture industry would have used it.

7. Silicone polishing damages the wood product finish.

For more than half a century, the most popular polish used for furniture was silicone.

Because silicone polishing makes the product more resistant to scratches.

The product is also given more value.

Have all consumers, without exception, been harmed by their products during all this time? No, it is not.

In fact, silicone does not harm the product.

Only silicone causes so-called fish eye knots to form during polishing.

To solve this problem, you just need to spend more time finishing.

That is why those involved in this industry are not happy with this substance.

So that they can be blamed for creating this misconception.

8. Oil varnishes last only a few years because the metallic desiccants are deactivated.

All these misconceptions and myths are not old. Some of them have been formed in the last few years.

This is probably one of the strangest things to do.

No doubt you all have one or two cans of varnish in your workshop that is more than 2 years old.

However, this varnish also works well. So this belief is fundamentally wrong!

Of course, the varnish loses its properties only if it is exposed to oxygen.

This means that the lid of the can does not close properly. So to be sure, tighten the lid of the can each time you use it.

9. You can prevent air bubbles by not shaking.

Well, pick up a can of varnish, polyurethane or any other product you want.

Open the lid of the can slowly. Dip the brush into the finishing product and dab it on the wood surface.

Immediately after this, bubbles form on the surface of the wood.

Shaking the can or hitting it will not cause bubbles! Rather, it is due to the uncoordinated and chaotic movement of the pen on the surface.

You can not avoid creating bubbles on the surface of the wood.

You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people.

As you can see, there are many misconceptions about finishing a wood product.

All of these misconceptions are due to lack of information or are scattered quite by accident.

For many years many people believed in them.

In this article, we tried to reveal the truth and eliminate these

misconceptions about finishing wood product forever.
