Well, if I can't get the technique right this way, I might try a thick coat of finish, then putting a sheet of butcher paper over it and rolling it with a very wide roller. This is something I've never tried before, so I'm more interested in finding out what I can and can't do than actually creating a piece of nice furniture. I mean, there's always contact paper {grin>.

The finishes feel fine, but you can see the marks. I find it hard to believe that finger painting a finish would have a good visible finish. I'm sure it feels perfectly smooth, that is a function of sanding and buffing, but I have my doubts as to the visible effect. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
