re: Stain + Lacquer????

Natural oils can contain color pigments and one can achieve beautiful tinted pieces where the colour is dictated by the sanding grit. The rougher the finish the deeper the colour. This type of finish will also eliminate any issues with “bugs” too as one applies the coating and wipes off any excess. So the colour pigments are trapped into the surface. Any dust or bugs are just wiped off unlike the typical varnish paint type of finish there is nothing for them to stick to. Another advantage with this type of application is that the product is very economical and goes a lot further than layer forming coatings….as well as being sprayable.
By not creating an actual layer, one can usually find it easier to rejuvenate the surface without sanding back. It also maintains the natural feel of timber not a plastic.
