Accessories on the Marketability of Products

I. Introductory Concept

This Learning Activity Sheet covers the effects of innovative finishing materials and creative
accessories on the marketability of the products. This also includes the finishing materials that
are commonly used in decorating bamboo, wood and metal products.

A. Readings/Discussions:
People tend to get bored or not interested in buying the same products without innovations.
You must know the strengths and weaknesses of your products. It is necessary to have a
deep knowledge of your product and the products of your competitor’s entrepreneurs so that
you will always strive to be different and unique.

4. Varnish- This is a transparent finishing material that
comes from gum, linseed oil, and resin. It is hard and
shiny when dry and gives sheen to the wooden
project. Varnish is widely used in furniture and
upholstery making.

5. Enamel - This is a kind of varnish with color. Powdered color pigments are mixed with
the varnish. It is used on wood that is not exposed to the sun or rain because it easily
fades. There are two kinds of enamel: gloss and non-gloss. Gloss enamel gives sheen
and has an attractive effect on wood. Non-gloss enamel does not give any sheen, but it
beautifies wood.
