Importance and Methods of Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo, Wood and Metal Product
Objective: Choose the kind of materials appropriate to decorate bamboo, wood and metal products
II. Discussion:
There are many ways or methods used on how to decorate finished products. Finishing materials are commonly used in decorating wood, bamboo, and
metal products. Some are listed below:
1. Fillers – these are applied on wood to fill up cracks, holes, and grooves. There are two kinds
of wood fillers:
a. Paste filler – it comes from silex, raw linseed oil, and turpentine. It has colours such as natural,
red, or golden oak.
b. Shellac – this is a kind of varnish that dries up easily and is not waterproof. It comes from lac gum diluted in alcohol. Shellac is available in white or
orange colour. White paste fillers are used to fill in big cracks and grooves or wood.
2. Stains – the common wood stains used are oil stain, water stain, and spirit stain which are
named after the solvent used. Stains are sold in different colours and shades. The easiest to apply
on wood is oil stain. The hardest one to apply is the spirit stain because it dries up easily.
3. Paint – a finishing material most commonly used on wood. Paint prevents moisture on the wood which causes decay. Paint beautifies wooden objects and
makes them easy to clean.
4. Varnish – this is a transparent finishing material that comes from gum, linseed oil, and resin. It is hard and shiny when dry and gives sheen to the wooden
project. Varnish is widely used in furniture and upholstery making.
5. Enamel – this is kind of varnish with color. Powdered color pigments are mixed with the
varnish. It is used on wood that is not exposed to the sun or rain because it easily fades. There are two kinds of enamel, gloss and non-gloss. Gloss enamel
gives sheen and has an attractive effect on wood. Non-gloss enamel does not give any sheen, but it beautifies wood.
6. Lacquer – is another kind of varnish made of melted cotton tinters, gum, or chemicals.
Like enamel, lacquer comes in different colors.

II. Discussion:
Different Kinds of Finishing Materials
1. Glue – is a paste for wood materials. It is in powder or in cake form. It is manufactured from fish, animals, and plastic resin.
2. Sandpaper – it is made grits, usually ground silica, flint, quartz, or emery glued to thick paper of cloth. Sandpaper for wood is called flint paper and for
metal it is called emery cloth. At present we have water-proof abrasive for metal. Both are used for smoothing rough surface of objects.
3. Stain – is a coloring material which is applied to the surface of a wood to improve each appearance. There are three kinds of stain: oil stain, water stain,
and spirit stain.
4. Lacquer – this is a synthetic product which is largely used in all manufactured articles. This finishing material could retain the natural color of the
material to which it is applied. Like varnish and shellac, it is sold in cans and bottles. The solvent used is lacquer thinner.
5. Paint – it is another finishing material that is always used because of its beautiful color and a good protector of materials. The body of paint is a mixture
of four elements: pigment, vehicle, thinner, and dyer. It comes in cans of different sizes. When the paints get sticky or hard, add paint thinner. If thinner is
not available, used gasoline or petroleum as a substitute.
6. Varnish –it is another finishing material that beautifies and preserves a project. It is made from copal gum dissolved in pure boiled linseed oil. Copal gum
comes from resin of pine trees buried several feet below the ground. Linseed oil comes from oil of cotton seed. When varnish becomes sticky and hard add
turpentine to make it thin and useable again. Varnish and turpentine are sold in cans and bottles.
7. Shellac – it is a good finish for many projects. It comes from the excreta of insects called a luc bug. The color is yellow and appears like small pieces of
cellophane. Before it is used, it is mixed with denatured alcohol.
