Download or read book Spray Finishing written by Andy Charron and published by Taunton. This book was released on 1996 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A professional-looking finish is the dream of most woodworkers. One way to achieve it is through modern spray finishing. Spray finishing is a lot less trouble than it used to be - recent technological breakthroughs have made a previously messy and expensive process safer, easier and cheaper. The development of water-based finishes and HVLP spray systems has put spray finishing within the grasp of any small-shop woodworker willing to learn the technique and make a modest investment in equipment. Andy Charron, a professional woodworker, has been experimenting with spray finishes for some years and has experience with a number of systems. He has put this expertise into a comprehensive volume that explains the entire process. Charron describes how each system works and how to choose the system that's right for the kind of work you do - from guns and spray booths to compressors, turbines, air lines, filters and safety equipment. You'll also learn how to work with lacquers, crosslinked finishes, shellac, polyurethane and water-based finishes; how to color, stain and tone the wood; how to spray contact cement; and how to clean your equipment when you're done. A troubleshooting chart at the end of the book will help you identify and solve problems at a glance.

Book excerpt: With a new afterword by the author, this classic analysis of Western liberal capitalist society contends that capitalism—and the culture it creates—harbors the seeds of its own downfall by creating a need among successful people for personal gratification—a need that corrodes the work ethic that led to their success in the first place. With the end of the Cold War and the emergence of a new world order, this provocative manifesto is more relevant than ever.
