About This Workshop
FinishWorks and Mohawk have recently merged to provide a full line of professional finishes and touch-up and repair products to their customers. To help develop a new generation of professional finishers, FinishWorks is offering this five-day professional finishing program for the MASW family of students. Participants will learn about the prep necessary to get any project ready to finish, including a full explanation of the sanding process. Individuals will learn through hands-on experiences about precatalyzed finishes, conversion varnish, color theory, application methods, repair, destressing and problem solving. Upon completion of the class, students will have 16 samples of clear coated, stained, and painted finishes to use as story boards in their work at home. Not to mention, have a lot of practical knowledge to create outstanding finishes! If you are considering moving your finishing skills to the next level, this class is for you. By the way, Tim Puro will be the lead instructor.
