    sand paper or pumice stone. The surface is then made
    smooth and clean.

    The process of knotting is then carried out as in case of

    painting.
    3. Stopping:
    The surface of wood work is then stopped. This is done

    by means of hot weak glue size. It will fill up the pores on

    the surface. IN of glue will form about one litre of glue


    size. Alternatively, the boiled linseed oil can be applied
    in two coats, when the surface becomes dry, it should be
    once again rubbed down with sand paper.
    4. Coats of Varnish:
