M I X O L   TOUCH UP KIT

  MIXOL colors are truly "universal" colors in that they use no binder. Made from quality pigments finely dispersed in a glycol ether carrier, they'll mix with just about anything, including oils, varnishes, shellac, lacquer and water base finishes. For touch up work, we've found them first rate when used with shellac and produce a smoother surface as compared to using dry pigments. Top coat any repaired area with shellac, aerosol lacquers, or water-base finish. The kit colors are also useful for tinting glazes, stains, fillers, glues, and waxes.

ATHENA GOLDEN TAKLON TOUCH-UP BRUSHES - These brushes are the ones used in my article in Fine Woodworking #166 and the book "Complete Illustrated Guide to Finishing".  Made with the same quality Golden Taklon bristle used in our premium finish brushes, they form a fine, round tip. Use the #4 for applying background color and the smaller #1 for painting grain lines. They can be used with any medium, but are perfectly suited to our Mixol Colors above.

LIBERON PRODUCTS

These crayons are found in every finishers repair kit and contain 10 popular colors so you can match any wood tone color. Colors can be intermixed to create custom shades. Housed in a handy tin for storage. Just rub crayon into area and polish excess off with a soft cloth or a piece of folded paper.  

Tin with 10 Asst. Retouch Crayons:  $31.95

 

LIBERON BLACK BISON PASTE WAX - Endorsed by the Guild of Master Craftsmen this product is a blend a several waxes, including carnauba. Good for general waxing and excellent for cleaning and restoring antiques. This product is easy to use and has a very pleasant scent so it's great to use on the insides of furniture. The colored products are popular when applied directly to wood or used over a very thin shellac sealer to produce a very mellow and natural appearance.   500 ML TIN.


 COLORS  Neutral (colorless), Antique Pine (light brown), Medium Mahogany (warm brown), Dark Oak (dark brown)   $23.25

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BEHLEN SPRAY LACQUER

 

BEHLEN AEROSOL LACQUER - These products are used extensively by the pro's for repair and touch up to furniture mishaps. The same quality lacquer product that's probably used in the factory, but in a convenient aerosol can. For sealing in color repairs we recommend using the sanding sealer first.

GROUND HIDE GLUE

HOMESTEAD GROUND HIDE GLUE - Our Hide Glue is the traditional glue sold in dry, granular form and is mixed with water to form a gelatin which is then heated to at least 140 degrees F.  The gram strength of this glue is 192 which is best for all woodworking applications because it has a slightly longer open time than hide glues of a higher gram strength.  Mix ratio is 1-3/4 to 1 (water to glue) by weight.  1 LB. PLASTIC JAR.

UREA – A dry powder additive for extending the open working time of hide glue (mixed from dry granules). Use 5% to 30% by weight.  4 OZ. PLASTIC JAR.  


 

COLOR WHEEL

FINISHER'S COLOR WHEEL - A very helpful guide that shows 60 color options and intensities.  Shows the finisher how colors, i.e. Burnt Umber, Raw Sienna, Green, etc. can be intermixed to create custom shades. Also cross referenced to our line of TransTint Dyes, & Pigments.

SOLVENTS  

BEHLEN BEKHOL SOLVENT - A high quality solvent especially formulated by Behlen to dissolve shellac flakes.  Evaporates slower than traditional denatured alcohol.

#1011 - QUART CANS

MISCELLANEOUS

GLU-SIZE - Glu-Siz evens out uneven stain penetration to prevent splotching when using alcohol-soluble dyes.  It is usually diluted 1:1 with water.  Apply by spray, brush, rag, roller or sponge. Let dry 24 hours before subsequent finishing operations.  Other uses for this product -- when applied to fuzzy woods like mahogany & pine, it locks the fiber in place so that a smooth sanded surface results.  It seals end grain to prevent it from darkening too much when using stain.  When used on composite wood products like masonite and fiberboard, it seals the surface so that subsequent finishing products aren't absorbed.  On plywood, it will even out staining operations. This product is a real lifesaver!  
16 OZ PLASTIC CONTAINERS.

 
 

BOND UNIVERSAL TACK CLOTH - This impressive product won't dry out or leave a residue that causes problems with water base finishes. Made like standard tack cloths in a folded pad, but with a sticky synthetic resin instead of rosin. Individually folded and bagged, cloths measure 18" x 36" when opened. SOLD PER SINGLE SEALED BAG OR CASE OF 100. 

 

FRENCH POLISHING SUPPLIES

LINT-FREE PADDING CLOTH - Our Lint-Free Padding Cloth is a gauze-like padding cloth material that comes on a 1.6 lb. roll. It's perforated so it tears off in 16" sheets, so you only use what you need. Very clean and absorbent, this premium cloth is practically lint free so it's great for applying stains and polishing in addition to use for finish application. SOLD PER ROLL (1.6 lb.)

CHEESE  CLOTH - Our cheese cloth is 4 yd of a medium mesh cheesecloth. Used for straining, applying stains and polishing. Sold in packages of 4 yd lengths.  

COVER CLOTH - Our Cover Cloth, used for the outer cloth of the French polishing pad, is 100% cotton but for better results you should “de-lint” it before use.  Wet it thoroughly with hot water and dry it in a clothes dryer on high heat to trap the lint.  This “de-linting” keeps lint from getting stuck in the finish. SOLD PER YARD.
