Jim THIS may help about applying melamine lacquer

Thanks Derek,

I've just read it and understand what he's saying. It's
a nice bit of information, fairly easy reading - thanks

I've ordered the Melamine and Chestnut cellulose sanding sealer...
do I need to get cellulose sanding sealer thinners or is there another
way of thinning it down ?

Thanks for your help Derek

regards - Jim

Cellulose thinners is what is needed to thin the sander sealer.

 I have a jar with a brush in the top and have a mix of 50/50 sealer and thinners I use it a lot especially for punky wood so it soaks in easier

Hi Derek,

thanks for that....I'll get some on order

Cheers for your help. I'll let you know how I get on

best wishes - Jim

I have to say that following a demonstration from Terry from Chestnut he does not advocate thinning down these finishes. I did say to him that he would say that wouln't he? as he would wish to make more sales but his reply was that these finishes are surface finishes and are designed to sit on the surface of the wood. If you wanted a penetraing finish perhaps you should be looking to use an oil?

No, to quote from his newsletter to customers from 9/11/18
"as regular readers will know there are times when it’s ok to thin the sanding sealer, usually when stabilising ‘punky’ timber."
