Etsy Listing - Wooden Toy Car - Hot Rod Freaky Ford - 1932 Ford Sedan - Polyurethane - Pine

This wooden toy car is finished with satin finish polyethylene. It's tough, durable and water resistant. It stands that th the wear and tear that children can dish out (little boys) better than anything I have found.

I like wood and I like the look of wood. Polyurethane does not hide the wood. In fack (my opinion) it enhances the look of the wood without covering it up.

Ok, so why not use polyurethane for everything?

There a a few reasons for not using polyurethane everywhere.


  • It takes a lot longer to apply.
  • The solvent is mineral spirits not water.
  • Brush cleanup is more difficult.
  • No colors.
  • Long cure times.
  • You need to sand between coats. I would usually do this with anyny finish at least after the coat, Having to sand makes fixing minor finish flaws a bit more difficult. 
  • Fumes - I really don't want to breath a lot of anything that mentions brain damage on the label.

What kind of paint are you using for your Bad Bob's Custom Motors cars?

Image
Bad Bob's Custom Motors I use a variety of paints from various sources. I like the acrylic house paints the best. All of the paints are nontoxic when cured.  I like to use a white primer to seal the wood and make the colors pop. In this case, I am using Zinsser B-I-N shellac based primer.  I prefer to use an airbrush for painting toys but, I have to paint outdoors, and the weather where I live does not cooperate, and I have to wait or use a brush. I used an airbrush for these wooden toy cars. My airbrush is a Badger Anthem 155.  I prefer acrylics over all other paints. They clean up easily, cover well, and are readily available in a vast array of colors. To clean, I flood with water to get rid of the bulk of the paint. The remaining paint is easily removed with ammonia-based cleaners such as window cleaner. I use household$ ammonia to remove dried paint.  I used the following to paint these wooden toy car bodies. Pink - Behr Acrylic House Paint Green - Apple Barrel Gl

Testing Anita's Acrylic Craft Paint

Image
2017-05-08 18.20.48 - Wooden Toy - Play Pal - Trailer - Truck - Orange - Anita's - Acrylic - Craft - Paint I painted these two trailers with Anita's All Purpose Acrylic Craft Paint. I didn't use a primer or sealer coat of any kind. The paint was applied with a brush just as it came from the bottle. This is the first coat of paint. I was quite surprised at how well it covered the wood. The orange paints I have used in the past did not cover well at all.   Usually requiring multiple coats to get to the point where I could not see through it.  It raises the grain a lot but I expected this. Water based finishes of any kind will raise the grain. Etsy Store: http://OdinsToyFactory.com #WoodenToys #WoodToys #WoodenToyTruck #WoodToyTruck #OdinsToyFactory #Handmade
