The perfect finish

July 21, 2011 By Al Navas

No finish applied to a project is better than the finish sprayed by our granddaughters to purchased treasure chests:

The best I was able to do: help two of the little ones push on the spray can valve, and keep the can moving. From the other end we can see the beautiful patterns developed in the finish:

It has been a busy Summer; but this short finishing job was one four of our girls enjoyed thoroughly. It is the stuff that makes great memories!

  Thanks, Ramon! I will also share with our granddaughters I also have NO idea how it would translate into English.
  But I will try: “The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree”, and also ” Like father like son”.
