Products I wholeheartedly endorse

I have a book, Understanding Wood Finishing, by Bob Flexner. It's actually pretty good and I recommend it.

I don't recommend Russian spammers putting links to suspicious product review pages in their first post.

I never thought I would be banning Bob Flexner for linking to finishing equipment.

Nice one, glatt!

Ha! Good book though? I do need a reference.

Yeah. It's pretty good. It breaks down all the different finishes available and the strengths and weaknesses of each. Which ones are well suited for home shops, and which ones really need to be used in a factory setting.

It's not like I've read all the books out there on wood finishing and found it to be the best. But I did read a recommendation for it somewhere years ago, and found it to be pretty informative.

And I've had it for a decade or more, so the state of the art may have progressed since I got it.

What makes you certain that was Bob Flexner you banned?

glatt · 04-29-2020, 11:50 AM

I should have said "Bob Flexner".

Spammer's IP address was in Russia. It wasn't the real Bob Flexner.

OK, so you banned a fraud, you can still worship the book in good conscience.
