Location: Upper Left USA | I have long been frustrated over having to use poof cans to finish with. I did manage to make a vented booth but it would never support a spray operation.
But today, was a breakthrough! I set up my newly acquired Stewmac Air Pencil and got to work over an early project. The lighting is bad but you'll get the idea.
After a lot of level and spray with the clear I was able to add the tone layer. A few more layers of clear and it should polish out. |

I like the burst, though you can't see much of that koa now. Are you going for a high-gloss finish coat Mike? |
