Definitions of WORDS in BOLD
BASE COAT- to apply the base color to the wood. Some projects will require the whole project to be base coated. Some will need only parts to be base coated.
FINISH- coating your project with a protective varnish. Matte spray gives a better finish than a glossy spray.

 

All done!
