Solving Spray (and other) Wood Finishing Problems

There are many variables that can lead to a poor or failed finish.
Many spray, and other, finish problems can be traced to more than just one cause.
For reliable and consistent finish results, is important to identify and fix the causes not just the symptoms causing the problems.

First:
  • Select a recommended finish to meet the project requirements.
 • Follow the finish manufacturers application instructions.
 • When Spraying, adjust spray equipment for the work environment,
   the weather conditions, and the finish material requirements.

The following guide will help identify finish problems and suggest causes and the corrections required. Finishing problems are often a combination of 2 or more causes. By correcting the cause of the problem, achieving the perfect finish will be much easier.
Read through this entire document so you can spot finish problems
before or as they arise.
