Choosing a Brush for Your Top Coat
You’ve spent a lot of time on your project getting it ready to finish, so why not finish it right? If you’re going to apply four layers of stains or top coat with a brush, it’s important to use the proper brush for the job. A WoodWorkers Guild of America (WWGOA) original video.

Excellent suggestion. I use large 24oz bottles that are difficult to stand upside down or even on the side because they roll. I need to build a stand alone that will not fall over.
Best way to store wood glue in the winter
Hello Geary,
Thank you for contacting us. Many adhesives–wood glue especially–can be ruined by just one freeze/thaw cycle, so it’s a good idea to store them in a heated space during cold months. Even glue just left overnight in a car can freeze and make it unusable.
Sincerely,
Joan
