Chrisem said:I was a furniture finisher in the '80s and '90s, and agree with Scott. Horizontally allows you to lay on more product and keep it open for longer, therefore letting it flow to a smooth finish. Drawer fronts, doors and panels were nearly always sprayed thus. I occasionally came across furniture sprayed by automotive refinishers, while it was well done, it was easy to see it had been done while vertical.
Very nice job, Scott. I can still feel the butterflies in my stomach when doing large tops like that.
Thanks, Chrisem.
Yes, the butterflies show up on pieces like this for sure. It's interesting how we detach ourselves from what we are actually about to do on pieces like this.
We shoot final coat today. Then will let it cure for a few days prior to delivery.
