The varnish application process begins with thorough surface preparation. The wood surface is polished using sandpaper and then cleaned with a damp cloth to eliminate any dust or debris. The first coat of varnish is applied with an appropriate amount of thinner, ensuring that the paint film dries quickly and evenly. Once the initial layer is dry, a full putty application is carried out to fill nail holes and gaps, followed by meticulous sanding to create a smooth and even base. The second and third coats of varnish are then applied sequentially, with each layer polished using fine sandpaper to enhance the final finish. Adequate drying time between coats is essential—6 hours during summer and 24 hours in winter. Throughout the process, it is crucial to maintain a clean, dust-free environment with a temperature above 5°C to ensure optimal results.

For the mixed colour application process, the base layer undergoes cleaning and repair to address surface imperfections, followed by levelling with sandpaper. A mixture of putty, varnish, gypsum, and water in a 3:6:1 ratio is applied as a full putty layer to establish a smooth foundation. This is followed by the application of a primer mixed in a 1:0.5:1 ratio (paint, curing agent, thinner), with a thickness of approximately 1cm. The primer is allowed to dry for 4 hours before being polished with fine sandpaper to prepare for the final finish. The finishing paint, mixed in the same ratio, is applied with careful attention to ensure proper adhesion and drying. The curing agent enhances paint adhesion, while the thinner ensures the proper consistency and drying time. Overly thick or thin coatings are avoided to achieve an even, durable surface. After the final layer of paint, any necessary touch-ups are performed, and the surface is polished and waxed to achieve a flawless, high-quality finish.
