PLANISHED / HAMMERED FINISH A planishing hammer is used to ‘hammer’ a patterned finish into the surface of a metal. Copper is often given a planished / hammered finish. It is first softened by a heat treatment process called annealing. It is cleaned before being planished. As the copper is ‘planished’, it is rotated on the stake. Planishing hardens the metal, ensuring the final shape (such as a bowl) has the strength to resist drops and knocks. |
SPRAY PAINT FINISHES FOR METAL
Metal may need a primer and undercoat, although it depends on the instructions on the paint can. Hammerite paint can be applied to a surface without the need for a primer or undercoat. Some cheaper paint sprays need a carefully cleaned surface, prepared with primer and an undercoat. |
