Behlen Furniture Powders are finely ground dry pigment powders that have hundreds of uses for the finisher. Typically used for spot repairs (or color replacement) on furniture, they mix easily with shellac, lacquer and varnishes. Because they're 100% dry inert colors and contain no binder, they can be added to any product. Also great for coloring epoxy. Sold individually or in sets of 6.  more.....
 

 

 


Enduro-Var Water Based Urethane
- This new finish from General is becoming our favorite. This product looks more like an oil finish than any water based one we've seen. Cross-links with air just like solvent based polyurethane finishes to form a tough, water resistant finish. Good for floors, cabinets table tops, even trim. Easily brushes or sprayed. We recommend this product on darker woods like mahogany, cherry and walnut to bring out the luster and depth that you don't get with water based finishes. Not recommended for top-coating light paints or stains due to it's amber color.

Behlen OZ Polish
- This product excels as both a cleaner and a polish for virtually any surface. Best way to clean and maintain your project's finish or a commercial factory finish. Also great for metals and plastics (I clean my bikes with it). Made as an emulsion with water and solvents, it cleans both water soluble and oil soluble grime and puts back the shine. Leaves no white residue. Highly recommended. 16 oz bottle with flip top dispenser.

  •  An ultraviolet light absorber helps protect wood color.
  •  Extended evaporation rate so large pieces can be polished with more ease.
  •  An anti-static agent that means less dusting. Has a clean, fresh lemon scent.
  •  Apply and wipe to clean, polish and protect almost any smooth surface.
  •  Non-flammable, non-abrasive, greaseless and contains no silicones.

 NOW AVAILABLE  Spray Finishing Made Simple - Jeff Jewitt's latest and much anticipated release by the Taunton Press (publisher of Fine Woodworking Magazine). This project is a new concept in book publishing, combining a feature and technique packed 45 minute DVD with a 125 page companion book.

In this book and DVD, Jeff explains how to choose equipment, how to set it up and demystifies the entire spray-finishing process.

Through this unique multimedia approach, which includes detailed step-by-step instructions, photos, and how-to video, readers learn where to safely spray finishes and how to troubleshoot and solve spray-finishing problems. Both the book and DVD cover a variety of spray systems, solvents, and waterborne finishing products.

 New  Espresso Waterbased Stain - This is a special application stain that allows you to achieve that dark Espresso color without a multi-step process. Formulated from dyes and pigments, this product looks great on just about anything you want in the dark Espresso color. Can be sprayed or wiped. Typically one coat is all that's necessary, but darker colors are possible with 2 applications. Made with a special application acrylic base the product dries slower than a standard waterborne reduced TransTint. A Homestead exclusive! Once dry, you can topcoat with any finish. To achieve countless variations use a standard TransTint color like Orange, Amber or Bordeaux as a base color, then apply the Espresso.

Product #6035

Quarts $17.95
Gallons $39.95

          

 

 

New  ViviTone Solvent Based Micronized Pigments - We originally made these pigment concentrates for some large industrial manufacturers that have fell on hard times, so now we are offering these to our customers. Made with special micronized pigments, these colors can be easily added to any shellac and lacquer thinner based lacquer product (nitrocellulose, pre-cats, conversion). Or just reduce them with denatured alcohol or lacquer thinner for a fast dry stain. Available in 8 oz size, these colors are handy when you need to tint small amounts of product. Also can be used for touch-ups. Product disperses quickly and makes great transparent toners or opaque colors, depending on amount used. 

 

ViviTone™ Solvent Based Micronized Pigment Colorants - These handy colors are available in standard Universal Colors (except blue) in an 8 oz jar for easy dispensing. Unlike traditional Universal Tinting Colorants these colors can be added in any amount to product to achieve the effect desired. Perfect product for shellac and furniture lacquers.  Has excellent light fastness.  All colors are inter-mixable.

 COLORS    Red, Yellow, Goldenrod, Green, Purple, Black, White, Burnt Sienna & Burnt Umber

Special - all colors now only $8.50 ea (8 oz. bottle)
