Furniture Polisher
Alternative Titles:
French-polisher, Furniture Finisher
Furniture polishers polish timber furniture and musical
instruments by hand or machine to give them a protective and
attractive finish.
Furniture polishers may perform the following tasks:
- remove accessories such as knobs or hinges
- remove old finishes by stripping, scraping, sanding or
applying solvents or paint strippers
- mix and apply stains and paint to timber and other
surfaces
- spray on lacquers, varnish and two-pack finishes
- polish with French polish, wax or lacquer
- make minor repairs to damaged furniture
- maintain equipment.
Furniture polishers may specialise as spray finishers who
use high-pressure spray equipment and guns.
Furniture polishers work in workshops which may be noisy,
especially when machines or tools are being operated. They
usually stand for most of the day and wear protective clothing
as some of the lacquers give off unpleasant fumes.
