Graco Finex Spray Gun Review- August 2009 Furniture & Cabinet Making, August 2009, issue 156. Conclusion:"Good quality doesn't come cheap. It isn't worth buying a cheap gun or a small compressor. Graco meets the quality standard I would expect for high-quality finishing work. Pros: Good quality, Does the job. Cons: None." See full review (reproduced with permission).
Review- Coloured Epoxy Putty Sticks Good Woodworking July 2009, Phil Davy repaired a hole in an acoustic guitar using our coloured epoxy putty sticks. "I found the product fantastic for filling large holes, with no need to build up layers. After sanding I stained the repair using Mohawk Blendal Sticks. Finally a quick blast of Behlen Jet Spray and the job was done". See full review (reproduced with permission).

Great Burn In Kit Review- March 2009 Furniture & Cabinet Making, April 2009, issue 152. Conclusion: "Because the products come from
America there must be shipping
costs involved, but this is only a
small negative for the most userfriendly
system of fillers, colours and
polishes that I have found on the
market today.
Pros:
The kit works;
It is well explained;
It is part of a comprehensive system.
Cons:
None." See full review (reproduced with permission). Product link: Burn In Kit.

ReviewAug 2008 Furniture & Cabinet Making, August 2008. Behlen Stains "In Behlen colour -
Michael Huntley dips into
the catalogue and reviews
coloured finishing products." Conclusion "F&C assessment:
I will report back on the longevity and
durability of the test panels in due course
but I can certainly recommend the Behlen
range as a good introduction to the many
facets of colouring and wood finishing." (Note, to clarify, glaze should be applied on top of a sealer/finish and not direct to wood ). See full review (reproduced with permission).
