Spaying A Coating What is a Spray Coat? Applying a spray coat to your raw project is a great way to seal the surface and allow your final topcoats to lay on the wood much smoother and with finer luster. We can spray a coating right after we finish our surface prep, this is called a Wash Coat, why we apply a wash coat is to avoid the wood for blotching with a wiping stain, this also gives a consistent colour to our project. We also can spray what we call a sanding coat before or after your stain for more durability and protection for the stain or the project, these are great for a piece that will get used often like a table, chair, etc... The last spray coat will be a Lacquer, 15°, 35°, 50°, and 90° is all up to you or your client depending on the sheen you want to achieve.....Higher the number, more shine you will get.
