Where technical chemistry honorsnatural wood character.
At Maker’s Touch & Co., architectural wood finishing is neither an afterthought nor a generic coating step. It is an exacting balance of substrate thermodynamics, analytical pigment suspension, and master-level hand execution engineered specifically for trade professionals.
Substrate Moisture
6.0% – 8.5% Target
Dry Film Build
3.5 – 5.0 Mils DFC
Tailored multi-stage chemical recipes combining post-catalyzed conversion varnishes, two-component polyurethanes, and light-fast analytical pigments calibrated for extreme stability and grain enhancement.
