yew turn:
Hi all,

I have just finished a bowl in hornbeam, I then applied acrylic sanding sealer then ebonising lacquer over the top, I now want to get a nice gloss finish to it, what do you suggest  ???

Regards
Peter

woody:
There are many ways the quickest is to use an acrylic gloss lacquer on top of it, a wax polish and buff, or hard wax oil

Les Symonds:
I'm intrigued, Yew Turn, by the idea of black stains and ebonising, but have never tried it. Rather than hijack this thread, I'll start a new thread going and see what info I can pick up.

Over ebonising spray I usually use Acrylic gloss lacquer http://www.chestnutproducts.co.uk/results.php?cat=Lacquers

Hi Yew Turn, and welcome to the forum.

Spray gloss lacquer is been suggested and it's a good answer, but... (and don't you hate buts!)

... it kind of depends upon if you want the whole item covered as over-spray will go where you don't want it - so if you only want the ebonised area glossed you'd need to mask off the other area's of your work.

Another solution is a small can of polyurethane gloss varnish.
