You deserve praise for recycling and giving a second life to old furniture, especially cheaply made pieces, instead of just buying IKEA throw-away crap. Even the cheapest furniture of yore is at another level compared to IKEA (or its copiers).

@richgallagher725 2 жыл бұрын

as a professional painter, I, of course, seek ways of saving time & $$. I noticed you found bonding success with the AquaLock black. I find this product (in black) dries to a handsome, low-luster finish and actually seems to “level-out” as you mentioned a few times. Why not apply another coat and use this as finish? I find these lower luster finishes are actually preferred by clients these days, as glossy finishes seem to be out. Also, I find you’re better off not informing a client that the low luster finish that they’re so impressed with is actually a primer, they usually can’t wrap there head around that. 🤔

@deborahsewell202 Жыл бұрын

Just an FYI, everyone should ALWAYS use Shellac on any furniture you paint! Otherwise the paint is harder to strip & paint gets stuck into the wood fibers, then it needs a dental pick to get them out. 2 coats of shellac, light sand with at least 400 grit or paper bag, then paint

@ARayofSunlight 11 ай бұрын

You can try sanding it. But it’s hard to tell you what you can and can’t do when I’m not sure what the paint was. Some paints should not be topcoated too.

@catofthecastle1681 2 жыл бұрын

Veneer is a plain wood sandwiched by a more expensive wood on the outside. Wood makers discovered that delicate woods such as mahogany last better when a piece of birch or pine is placed in the middle between very thin layers of the mahogany. Laminate is a man made product is bound with wood in chips or sawdust. It is laminated or coated with a plastic or man made product!

@suesherman3587 2 жыл бұрын

@@catofthecastle1681 great explanations

@ARayofSunlight 2 жыл бұрын

Laminate is usually a thin layer of plastic. Veneer is usually a very thin slice of real wood. Both can be put on top of manufactured wood (MDF or particle board) or real wood. Laminate is also very slick and shiny, so paint has a lot harder of a time sticking to it.
