Thread: MJ Higgens Shoulderless with Pewter End Cap...

Many years ago spent a summer working for a professional painter, painting houses. He always drummed into us, that finish painting is 98 percent preparation. The finish is only as good as the prep, and that is where 98 percent of your time should be spent.

This is no different, a true satin finish cannot hide defects, it will only highlight them, because each satin stria has to be perfectly straight.

The trick to a perfect satin finish, is to take it to a perfect mirror, then apply a satin finish over the mirror.

Mikes work is the best satin I have seen. When I grow up I want to be like him, or at least do a satin finish like his.
