INTRODUCTION
This lesson will provide you a deeper

1. Filler- these are applied on wood to

fill up cracks, holes, and
grooves.
 2 Kinds of Wood Fillers
a. Paste Filler- It comes from silex, raw linseed oil, and
turpentine. It has colors such as natural,
red, or golden oak. White paste filler are
used to fill in big cracks and grooves or
wood.

b. Shellac- comes from lac gum diluted in
alcohol. Shellac is available in
white or orange color.
Lac Gum - The resinous secretion produced by lac insects
Lac is the resinous secretion of a number
of species of lac insects
(silkworms, bees, and the lac insect
(Laccifer lacca). The latter secretes a
sticky, resinous material called lac, from
which shellac and a red dye are produced)

Organic Natural
Unwashed Gum
2. Stains
The common wood stains used are
oil stain, water stain and spirit stain
which are named after the solvent
used. Stains are sold in different colors
and shades. The easiest to apply on
wood is oil stain. The hardest one to
apply s the spirit stain because it dries
up easily.
3. Paint- a finishing material most
commonly used on wood.
Paint prevents moisture on the
wood which causes decay.
Paint beautifies wooden
objects and makes them easy
to clean.
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 I furniture and
upholstery making.
Linseed Oil  pale yellow oil
extracted from
linseed, used
especially in paint
and varnish
 this is kind of varnish with color.
5. E Powdered color pigments are mixed
N with the varnish. It is used on wood
A that is not exposed to the sun or rain
because it easily fades. There are
M
two kinds of enamel, gloss and non-
E gloss. Gloss enamel gives sheen and
L has an attractive effect on wood.
Non-gloss enamel does not give any
sheen, but its beautifies wood.
6. Lacquer -is another kind of varnish
made of melted cotton
tinters, gum or chemicals.
Like enamel, lacquer
comes in different colors.
