1) WILD NIGHTS DESIGN CHALLENGE 

This week GF presents Sandra and Joe of Gelinas Carr Furniture for Woodworker Wednesday. These wood romantics design hand-crafted furniture at their studio in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island.

"Cure time" is the amount of time needed for the finish on a piece to reach maximum hardness and be ready for normal use. This is different than "dry time." 

Water-based finishes cure faster than oil-based finishes, approximately 21 days vs 30 days under ideal conditions (70°F and 50% humidity).

GF's Milk Paint is not a true Milk Paint - it is premixed and does not contain any casein based ingredients. We named our product Milk Paint with the intention of putting a clear, bright, contemporary spin on an old fashioned furniture paint tradition.
