Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get a glossy finish when the can says "Satin"?

Cabots - faq - cabots.com.au
Most woodstains and varnishes are relatively thin and over time the flatting agents may settle out into fairly solid layers on the bottom of the can. Applying an incompletely stirred mid sheen product often results in a high gloss coating on the timber as a large proportion of the flatting agents are left at the base of the container. To achieve the specified sheen level all of these flatting agents must be distributed evenly throughout the can.

What about glossy vs. matte finish?

Photo Coasters, Photo Placemats, Photo Keepsakes, Photo Albu...
That's a matter of personal preference. Both work well. The glossy finish will be a little sharper; the matte finish will be a little softer. Bear in mind that laminating will add some gloss to the finished product. There are two types of coaster holders. The lucite holders are made to fit each of the four sizes of coasters. The sides of these holders can be of varying heights to accommodate four, five, six or seven coasters.

It also seals the tile seams from moisture and gives the floor a beautiful satin finish sheen.

Each coat offers a layer of protection.

What is the difference between a Satin finish, a Semi Gloss finish and a High Gloss finish?

Welcome to Knox Hardwood Flooring
The Satin finish is a matte finish and the easiest to maintain. Because it has a low sheen, it is very forgiving insofar as showing scratches, dents, and wear and tear over time. The Semi Gloss finish has some shine and is a little harder to maintain in that it will show scratches, dents and wear and tear sooner. The High Gloss finish is the hardest to maintain in that it shows everything - dust, dirt, scratches, dents, and wear and tear in general the quickest.

What can I do to maintain the sealer and the new glossy finish indoors?

A thin water based acrylic wax is the key to preserving the new look of indoor decorative concrete. Depending on the amount of foot traffic, once or twice a year is enough for most residential applications. For those desiring higher sheens, or those having large pets and other floor intense situations, you may want to max three or four times a year. Our wax products can be applied with a sponge mop in thin coats to create a sacrificial barrier and preserve the seal coat and color appearance.

Are there any plans to produce these guitars with a satin finish?

Brian May Guitars - The Official web site for Brian May Guit...
Stressful doesn't even begin to describe working on the original. Even with a simple job, the thought of a screwdriver slipping and putting a big gouge down the middle of the body, does not bear thinking about. I read that Brian uses light gauge strings in his guitar. That makes me wonder that the Brian May Guitar I just bought (dream come true) fits better with the 0.9's it comes with but is it mandatory? I'm actually used to 0.10's. No problem using 10's.

How do I maintain the satin/wood tone finish on my piano or furniture?

Core Care Products - Frequently Asked Questions
Wood finishing materials have evolved dramatically in the past fifty years. Originally finishing materials were made of varnish or rubbing oils until roughly the 1940’s. The next generation of materials used was lacquer. In the mid 70’s to early 80’s, finishes became environmentally driven to water base. This history can be used as a guideline to determine what finishing material was used and the suitable polish to be used.
