There is a fair variety of finishes listed here all of which are more durable than the other finishes we sell because they use synthetic resins. They
can all be applied by brush with relative ease.
Acrylics are water based and are recommended if you have any concerns about fumes.
Brushing French polish is spirit based and can be built quickly- 2 or 3 coats an hour – to a high gloss which looks and feels like French polish.
Rustins plastic coating is the toughest finish listed here being able to withstand higher levels of heat, moisture and abrasion than any of the others.

Tips

Gloss finishes look awful when applied to rough textured woods such as oak or padauk without proper grainfilling. Satin or semi gloss finishes can give a professional look in just a couple of coats because for some reason it looks fine even with the roughness of the wood showing through. This is a great time saver.
Oil based finishes such as the polyurethane varnishes are much easier to apply evenly by brush. If you do not mind slower drying times use these.
