Aerosol Tips and Tricks for Your Next Spray Project

By

When you’re using Minwax aerosol products, or if you’re planning on using these convenient sprays, here are some helpful tricks to get smooth sprays on edges.

NAILED IT – WITH POLYSHADES!

I wanted to use the aerosol version of Minwax® Polyshades® — stain and finish in a single can — on this large picture frame I made, but knew I needed to raise the frame off my workbench to get an even application along the bottom edge. So, before spraying, I lightly tapped a finish nail into the back of each corner, and rested the frame on the four nails. Afterwards, I just wiggle them out and save the finish nails for my next spraying project.

NEED SOMETHING TO HOLD SMALLER OBJECTS UP? SAVE YOUR CAPS!

We are all into re-purposing, right? So hang onto those aerosol caps and use them for stands when spraying small projects, such as these unfinished drink coasters I stained with Minwax® Water Based Wood Stains, then finished with Minwax® Polycrylic® Protective Finish.

Until our next time,

Thanks for stopping by!
