INTRODUCTION
I hope you enjoyed reading my first E-Book on a CD, the “Fundamentals Of Finishing”
In this new CD II, I included ten different finishing techniques that make up part of the art of finishing. You may find in each chapter that there is more then one topic that makes up the chapter, so you will get a better idea of what can make up that subject. In many cases there is more then one way of doing something’s. In some cases depending on who taught you, or where you’re learned that technique, the names may not always be the same as you know them if you’re living in different parts of the country, but if the final finish is the same, you may call the finishing technique whatever you prefer.
In my first CD I discussed some of the most important finishing techniques used in fine finishing, if you read the first CD you should be familiar with the basics of the finishing techniques, if you follow those same techniques you should be able to do everyone of the finishing topics in this CD.
I hope you remember how important the start to finish try out samples are in learning new finishes, you can use these step samples to show your customers some of the finishes that you now know how to do.
Here is a listing of the finishing techniques on this new CD II.
