Mitch Kohanek Workshop - Page 2


Mitch explains the technique of French Polishing	The results	All day long, Mitch covered the necessary science	By request, Mitch breaks out the repair kit stuff

The various color melt sticks	Preping the melt stick tools	One big screw driver scratch, deep and partly cross grain	Step one, finding the best base color match

Step two, a bubble-less fill job	Slightly more than necessary in place	Removing the excess to get to level	Final smoothing to eliminate the need to sand

Looks good already	Color matching for the addition of grain painting	Adding the grain marks, once the colors have been blended	Pretty good color matchings, now the finish

Spot repair and blending of the finish	Some adjustment for a uniform sheen	Voila, where was the damage?	Better than new
