Spraying and Buffing Lacquer: Woodturning with Sam Angelo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2023
- Sam Sprays gloss lacquer on a hollow form that he had previously colored. He first seals the wood with a lacquer sanding sealer, applies a spray lacquer, then wet sands to 6000 grit- then finishes by buffing the surface to remove any fine scratches. Buffing can be used to "cut back" the high gloss finish.

A very beautiful hollow form Sam.
Very nice Sam, I am impressed with the look of that.
Great video. Easy to follow.
Beautiful piece, Sam! The video was very informative and enjoyable!
Thanks Carol
Very nice and informative Sam. A fellow turner shared with me that he put the can in warm water before spraying the lacquer, and it really makes it thin out. I've tried it and it does make a significant difference. Keep up the good work Sam!
Hi John, Yes I have used that "warming" technique. For this piece, I actually put the can in front of one of the heaters in my shop for 30 minutes or so., (No fear of the can exploding).... It is getting warmer here in Montana but the mornings in my shop are a little cool-as was the can of lacquer I was using. Sam
Very informative video Sam. Appreciate seeing the steps to applying lacquer to get the finishes that you achieve.
Brilliant stuff, thanks for sharing++++ Would be happy to see more finishing techniques
Thanks, will do! Sam
Beautifully done. Another technique I’ll need to try. Thanks
Thank you ,Nice ideas 👏🏻👏🏻
amazing as always!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for sharing. Subscribed.. Liked.
I really needed that instruction, Sam, thanks. Must make a similar spraying jig , rather than getting by with my turntable. Short of bench space, so inclined to use a T track and hanger bolt with wing nut instead of the clamp. Bernard.
Glad it helped
Many layers of lacquer will give you a thick coat because it melts into itself. Many layers of poly will give you many layers of poly because it just lays on the previous coat. My preference for lacquer is Mohawk. It seems more durable than the deft or watco. Thanks, Sam, for the video, beautiful piece with the added color.
Yes I also have and use Mohawk when I use my "proper" spray gun. It is the best..... But when I am finishing on piece at a time, I just use a rattle can. Thanks Sam
I did see a spray can of the Mohawk. I always have bought the gallon and used it in my spray gun.
Beautiful hollow form that got more beautiful as you finished. I really like the color combination you used on that one. I've done a few of those but haven't had the color right yet. Guess I'd best get brave and make them a little thinner. Thanks for walking us through your process Sam!
Take care, Dave
Dave
I did fairly well on coloring from the inside....much of this depends on the wood. Better to have a bit of luck with us.
Lovely.
I am not sure what you are asking here. "to Part will wax"??? Sam
@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER it was a typo but I got the answer, thanks.
Good job, well done. I have used lacquer for many years on furniture and cabinets but I cannot find lacquer here in PEI, Canada.. Thanks, Sam.
I like the color pattern on the burl.
I give nature all the credit ... any third grader could do the coloring.
Outstanding, as usual. This is one where I take notes. Just one observation, when you're blasting through the grits 1800-6000, you don't feel it is necessary to wipe down the hollow form between the grits? Learned a lot today. You say finishing is simple, but there are all the little steps that you take that make all the difference that I would have never thought of doing. Now I am going to watch your other video on how to color a hollow form. Many thanks for sharing your craft, much appreciated.
At 15:30 into the video I do clean the surface with paint thinner. I will definitely clean the surface every time I spray more product on a piece. However, I am using two forms of abrasives that don't really produce a loose grit that might stay on the piece. First I use Mirka abrolon pads, and then I use pen turners abrasives that are cloth backed. Neither one has a loose abrasive that will cause issues later on like a regular sandpaper will. Another example.....I don't usually sand with the lathe going forward AND reverse. I sand in reverse when I think it is necessary. But you will hear from some turners that this must be done all the time. Another rule??? I clean off the surface when I feel it necessary to do so. But thanks-you are very observant. Sam
I need to try that technique on pens.
I'm doing the CA glue
and also the Glu Boost
This looks maybe easier
Yes this works really well on pens.
Thanks for another excellent and very informative video Sam. I have one question. Can a cellulose sanding sealer like Mylands be used instead of the lacquer based sanding sealer?
I am not familiar with that brand. But if it is a cellulose sanding sealer it should work. Perhaps try it on a scrap piece of wood first however, Sam.
Nice piece, enjoyed your video. Do you always use a high gloss spray lacquer? Have you ever tried using a semi gloss or satin lacquer spray to get a less shiny finish?
That’s a good question. What I do I am for a really high gloss to begin with then when I buff it I can cut the gloss back a bit whatever finish you are using gloss is harder and will hold up better than a satin or semi gloss.
Beautiful globe! Why so you use a cold room to spray lacquer?
Well, this is my "cold storage" room which means it is unheated. But we are much warmer now in Montana. So it was fairly warm. I did actually warm up the can of lacquer I used. So the cold storage room was probably 70 degrees. Sam
The result it outstanding. But I question the necessity of going to 6000 grit. Can the human eye and touch really discern the difference between say 1000 and 6000 grit finishes? Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
That’s a very good question Glen
It’s all about hiding the scratches from the previous grid. With a very shiny surface like this, they are quite visible to me at least. Another thing is once you get to 800 or 1000 grit. It doesn’t take much sanding to progress through the grits. I might spend 20 or 30seconds sanding at 2400 and above. I guess it’s just the way I do it. Thanks, Sam.
You aught to try Mohawk finishers choice, better than deft
I do use Mohawk lacquer when I spray with my Finex gun
Sam
Who are you?
I am just a guy turning in my shop, making UA-cam videos-780 so far. Thanks for watching. Sam
