| Summary: | Finishing is used to provide protection and give aesthetic value to wood product.
In this study, different finishing system (system A and system B) and abrasive
paper were applied. Systems A consist of single layer of sealer meanwhile
system B consist of double layer of sealer and for abrasive paper the silicon
carbide and aluminum oxide been used in this study. From this study, it shows
that there is significant different on finishing properties when using different
finishing system meanwhile there is no significant different when using different
abrasive paper on Mahang Gajah sample. System B had better finishing quality
due to double layer of sealer that give excellent protection to Mahang Gajah
wood surface. It can be concluded that system B give better protection on wood
surface than system A and for abrasive paper it better to use silicon carbide
because it is cheaper than aluminum oxide. |
