Why is it important to enhance/decorate bamboo, wood and metal
products?
C. Presenting Examples/Instances of the New Lesson
Show to them sample pictures of finishing materials in
decorating bamboo, wood and metal products.

What are the methods used of enhancing/decorating finished

products?
D. Discussing New Concepts and Practicing New Skills #1
There are many ways or method use on how to decorate finished
products. Finishing materials are commonly used in decorating
wood, bamboo, and metal products. Some are listed below:
1. Fillers – these are applied on wood to fill up cracks, holes, and
grooves. There are two kinds of wood fillers:
 a. Paste filler – It comes from silex, raw linseed oil, and
turpentine. It has colours such as natural, red, or golden
oak.
b. Shellac – this is a kind of varnish that dries up easily and is
not waterproof. It comes from lac gum diluted in alcohol.
Shellac is available in white or orange colour. White paste
fillers are used to fill in big cracks and grooves or wood.
2. Stains – The common wood stains used are oil stain, water stain,
and spirit stain which are named after the solvent used.
Stains are sold in different colours and shades. The easiest
to apply on wood is oil stain. The hardest one to apply is the
spirit stain because it dries up easily.

3. Paint – A finishing material most commonly used on wood. Paint

prevents moisture on the wood which causes decay. Paint
beautifies wooden objects and makes them easy to clean.
4. Varnish – This is a transparent finishing material that comes from
gum, linseed oil, and resin. It is hard and shiny when dry and
gives sheen to the wooden project. Varnish is widely used in
furniture and upholstery making.
5. Enamel – this is kind of varnish with colour. Powdered colour
pigments are mixed with the varnish. it is used on wood that
is not exposed to the sun or rain because it easily fades.
There are two kinds of enamel, gloss and non-gloss. Gloss
enamel gives sheen and has an attractive effect on wood.
Non-gloss enamel does not give any sheen, but it beautifies
wood.
6. Lacquer – is another kind of varnish made of melted cotton
tinters, gum, or chemicals. Like enamel, lacquer comes in
different colours.
Let the pupils identify the different finishing materials used in
finished products.
 Why is it important to use finishing materials in finished
products?
E. Discussing New Concepts and Practicing New Skills #2
Why is it important to enhance/decorate finished products?
F. Developing Mastery (Leads to Formative Test)
Group Activity:
Group 1 – Why is it important to paint materials made of wood?
Group 2 – Explain the importance of enhancing/decorating
finished products.
Group 3 – What are the different finishing materials? Explain
how to use them?

G. Finding Applications of Concepts and Skills in Daily Living

How can bamboo, coconut and minerals be a source of income
to the family?

H. Making Generalizations and Abstractions about the Lesson
