I'm working on finishing my trade today and am having a hard time getting a good looking finish on the fake skins. really i have deft lacquer spray some minwax spar urethane and teak oil what would yall think would give me the best finish i have a couple coats of deft on it now and it looks fuzzy. :knothead: I don't know what i should do i can get some different stuff at lowes :banghead: so close to being finished this little thing is driving me crazy
you probably need to sand with 300 or finer and do several more coats of deft. Deft is a laquer and the spar won't jive with it at all. Don't ask me how I know LOL
Deft is great finish you just need to sand between coats and use several on the backing that you used.
i used 9 cosats true oil on fake snakes and it looks great but after the 2 nd coat i saneded between coats brock
thanks you guys i will do that so what would happen if i put deft on top of the spar
I tried poly and spar over deft and it wouldn't dry
ok i'm going with the oil 2nd coat is drying now then light sand and 4 or 5 more i guess thanks guys
I thought the fake skins went over the finish.
I'VE ALWAYS PUT MY FINISH OVER THE SKINS.GLUE SKINS TO CLEAN WOOD.THEY HAVE TO BE WATER PROFFED ALSO.
