Aerosol Finishing Tips -

Aerosol Uses

SEALERS
Behlen Sanding Sealers perform a variety of functions. Sanding Sealer seals in the original finish on spot repair work to which toning shades or a clear finish will be applied. Two coats of sealer over a newly stained surface cuts down the number of clear lacquer topcoats required. Always seal the wood before top-coating it saves time and lowers the cost. Sanding Sealer can be used to fill light scratches on any previously finished piece; sand between coats and reapply until scratches are no longer visible.

CLEAR TOPCOATS
Behlen clear aerosols are available in the following sheens: gloss, satin or flatt*.
(*Jet Spray only.) Behlen clear lacquers are nitrocellulose based, have a slight amber cast and are recommended as topcoats for Jet Spray wood shades and Behlen wood stains.
Behlen also offers a Master Water Clear Acrylic and Pre-Catalyzed Lacquers.

SHADING WITH AEROSOLS
Jet Spray Aerosols are available in a large selection of wood tone shades which are very lightly color pigmented so as not to obscure the grain.
Jet Spray Aerosols can be used to change the color of a previously finished piece from light to dark or to alter color shade. For example, a walnut finish can be changed into a mahogany; a blond finish can be changed into a maple or walnut. Padded finishes and burn-in repairs and light scuffs can be blended in by carefully feathering in the proper color.

UNFINISHED FURNITURE
An inexpensive stain and finishing method for unfinished furniture is to spray with Jet Spray wood shades. Always apply the spray in light coats so as not to achieve a painted effect.
Once the color is satisfactory, a coat of Sealer & two coats of a clear Behlen aerosol should be applied to protect the finish from wear.
