As a mill worker and finishing carpenter, I have extensive refinement experiences that range from working with wiping-on products to spraying two-part poly in temporary spray cabins. However, I often found the results of this in a shop base and located on site on site, which is limited on site and the challenges for the processes. This made me out of the most part of my clear equipment and cabinet work on professional spray transactions.
While this approach has guaranteed the quality, the additional costs and complications in packaging and transporting the materials caused me to look for ways to increase the productivity of our small mill business, and encouraged the finish to examine again. Although I knew about the LED-Cure technology as a special floor-floor finish, I had never considered the application in my workflow.
Selection of an LED hardening finish
After researching many new products and talking to suppliers, I decided to experiment with that Zero voc-vesting products From LED coating solutions next to the company of the company Portable LED sausage furniture light And Handheld battery operated LED LED LED light.
The application process is uncomplicated: Prepare the surface, present a modest amount of material and work until a dry rag no longer absorbs residues. Then activate the hardening process with LED light, buff and repetition. The results were impressive. And because there is no “wet” material on the wood on which dust sticks, I can apply the material without concern under less than guided conditions.

A quick process
The LED light really heals the product 100%, which means that you can pack finished components that were raw wood just a few minutes earlier. This efficiency has significantly shortened the handling time and reduced the amount of consumables I used.
While the hardening lights are a significant investment, I believe that the preliminary payments are justified. For my shop, the ability to achieve a finish in professional quality without the restrictions of conventional spray systems or slow wiping and roll-on products means that these expenses are quickly restored.
Vesting offers a wide range of color options. A Liter clear Runs 150 US dollars and cover about 500 m² in two layers (the second layer takes significantly less material). The hand-held battery-powered LED LED light costs $ 650, and the portable LED furniture light I used is $ 1800.
It is important to note that the handheld light is only recommended for smaller rooms. The larger plug-in light guarantees 100% healing and is a must for larger and horizontal surfaces. The exercise and hardening lights can be bought directly via LedcoatingSolutions.com.
