[C320-list] Target Coatings / Woodworking Guide

[Rod Boer]

Hi Joe,

Why do you think target coatings are not good for touch up?  I have been 
refinishing my cabin sole, which really hadn't worn through the finish 
anywhere, but I decided I never wanted to get into stripping it down to the 
clear wood.  The target coating does a beautiful job, but for a really good 
finish you need to use the proper brush to get outstanding results, 
especially on a surface like the cabin sole.  I used the DiVinci brush which 
I purchased from Target.  I chose the 2" brush  that is only about 3/16" 
thick.  The thinness is the key to it working so well.  My wife and I get 
into quite a bit of wood finishing and where I have previously had good 
results with foam brushes with polyurethanes, I found they didn't really 
work well with the water based product.  The brush was $36 plus shipping but 
it is a dream to work with.  Of course I threatened everyone in the house 
with death if they ever touched that brush.
