Activities


This one is easy. Find a project that you’ve been working on and need to
finish. Figure out what the project is going to be used for. Is it going to
beplayedwithalotorsitonashelftobeadmired? Doyouwantittobe
colorful or just add some protection? Will it be exposed to the weather?


All these things need to be considered in order to figure out the best way
to protect your prized project. Once you’ve decided on what type of
finish you will use, go back and reread that section of this lesson. Also, if
you have any questions about the best way to apply your finish, glance
back over the section on brushes.


Make sure if you go with a solvent or oil-based finish that you have
some mineral spirits on hand for cleaning up.


Now go dress up that project!
