Hi All,
I'm new to RPF having joined only a couple of weeks ago, and I have some ideas for some builds that I would like to attempt.
I have a couple of ideas in particular and the main material would be wood (nothing fancy and more likely to begin with a plywood or pine for when I screw it up!). I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for faking Japanese red lacquer? possibly a (non-toxic) spray paint or something similar. I've searched for thing like gilders paste and waxes etc but would need the finish to be able to be safely handled without rubbing off.
Maybe an initial color layer and then a clear sealing coat would be best, but I would love to hear any suggestions or ideas that would not occur to a novice!
I'm looking for this kind of finish and colour. http://www.artglass.hu/pictures/full/japanese_red_lacquer_sake_bowl_diam_11cm._foto_2.jpg
Many thanks!
