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

LIBERON RETOUCH CRAYONS - These wax crayons are used for superficial damage where you replace color and fill at the same time. Use for filling small dents, gouges and nail holes. 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:  $28.95

 

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 SOLAR-LUX REDUCER - This is the best reducer for alcohol-soluble dyes. When they're dissolved in this medium, they can be added to shellac or lacquer for tinting or shading purposes. QUART CAN.

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

#1011 - $6.95 - 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. OR 1 GALLON (128 OZ.) PLASTIC CONTAINERS.

 
REDURAN HAND CLEANER - When dyes get on your hands or skin, they can be very difficult to remove right away with conventional cleaners. We found this superb hand cleaner which very quickly and effectively removes dye stains from your hands and skin.  Only a small amount of ReDuRan is needed to do the job.  A “must-have” product if you frequently work with dyes.  3.38 OZ. SQUEEZE TUBE.  

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. 


  New!  PLASTIC SIEVES - These solvent resistant and reusable strainers are recommended for straining shellac solutions made with the Shellac Flat product above, as well as dye stains and other finishes made with flatting agents. Sold in packs of 10 in Medium, Fine and Extra Fine. Use the Fine for Shellac Flat. $20.25 (pkg. 10)

W4502 - Medium Sieve
W4505 - Fine Sieve
W4510 - Extra Fine Sieve

SOLD IN PACKS OF TEN. 

 

FRENCH POLISHING SUPPLIES

LINT-FREE PADDING CLOTH - Our Lint-Free Padding Cloth is a gauze-like padding cloth material that has sewn edges so that no frayed edges are exposed.  The pads are ideal for the inner core material for a French Polishing pad or as a general finish padding cloth for both solvent and water-borne finishes.  Its size fits perfectly into your hand when rolled up.  SOLD PER LB. (approx. 20-22 pads per lb.)

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.
