For most of my turned items I simply apply cellulose sanding sealer, de-nib when dry then apply some Microcrystalline Wax. This is a very quick finish and seems quite durable. The other day though I had a very tiny piece of turned wood to finish which didn’t really need grain filling and I didn’t particularly want to sand further.
I then noticed my bottle of sanding sealer had separated as usual so wondered if I could just use the liquid for a finish. I dipped a cotton bud into the liquid and wiped it onto the piece and it worked fine.
I’m now wondering why Chestnut or others don’t make a wipe on cellulose lacquer?
The job is done now but I remembered I also have some wipe on Melamine Lacquer so I could have used that.
It was bought some years ago but has languished unused in my finishing box.
Any thoughts? I generally don’t like spraying finishes, much preferring a wiped or brush application.
