TIPS FOR FINISHING WOOD CRAFTS:

Here are a few tips to help you in finishing your wood crafts whether hardwood or plywood. These are some techniques I have used. Experiment and see what works best for you.

• For lettering on wood, especially plywood, spray with a clear coating FIRST. This will keep the ink from bleeding. A Sharpie pen will definitely bleed on raw plywood (not so much on hardwood). DO NOT apply the spray AFTER using a Sharpie on plywood. It will cause it to bleed again. Krylon makes good, non-yellowing products, but there are other brands to choose from. My favorite pens for lettering are Pigma Micron pen by Sakura. These pens are available in many colors and point sizes. The ink is waterproof and will not fade. Gel pens such as Paper Mate can also be used.

• Painting wood with acrylic water based paint will “raise the grain” of the wood causing it to feel a little fuzzy. To achieve a smooth finish, apply the first coat of paint, let dry and lightly sand using VERY FINE sandpaper. You can even “sand” them using a piece torn from a brown paper bag or a small piece of cardboard if you don’t have sandpaper handy. Wipe with a tack cloth to remove the dust. If you don’t have a tack cloth, just wipe them clean with a lint free cloth very slightly dampened. Apply another coat of paint if necessary and let dry. If you use glitter paint, then you won’t need to sand or varnish. You can also use acrylic enamel paint.

• The color of raw wood is very pretty without painting or staining. If you want to leave the natural color, then spray with a clear sealer, sand lightly and spray again.

• If you are staining the pieces and have achieved the color you want with the first coat, then it’s not necessary to stain again. Just sand lightly and wipe with a lint free cloth slightly dampened.

• Finish your painted or stained pieces with one or two light coats of clear spray sealer. Use glossy if you like or for a soft, non-glossy finish use a matte or satin spray.

Information I Collect

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.

Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

Data Retention

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

Your Rights

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:

Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
