⬇️ STEPS AND PRODUCTS ⬇️

+CLEAN!!!!!! These pieces can be crusty 🤢 I use Simple Green but you can use your fav!
+Remove old finish-I prefer to start off with my carbide scraper but if you’re a stripper person then use that! Just be sure to wear proper PPE 🧤😷👓
+Assess for damage! Use wood glue to glue any broken pieces and use either wood filler or epoxy wood putty to fill in dents and cracks. It’s easier to color match than Bondo 🙌🏼
+Sand! I use 120-150-180 sanding grits on my orbital sander and I attach my foam sanding pad for sanding the curved edges. Use the pencil trick so you don’t over sand ✏️
+STAIN!!! I only use ‪@FurnitureRefinishingStudio‬ Heywood Wakefield reproduction stain when restoring these pieces. The color is true to the original and is available in “wheat” or “champagne” This is a semi opaque water base stain that’s nontoxic! I prefer using a staining pad to apply it. Work in small sections and apply a generous amount, let it sit for a couple of minutes and wipe off the extra. If you see it start to dry before finishing your section, just apply some more to re wet it. The grain might be raised after staining so I LIGHTLY sand that off with 600 grit paper.
+Color matching! You can use whatever you prefer 😊 My fav is wood repair paste but remember to have a layer of topcoat on your piece so you are matching to the correct color 🎨
+Topcoat! I apply 3 coats of satin water base polyurethane sanding with 2000 grit sandpaper between coats. @werefinish also has an amber tinted varnish that will resemble more of the color that we see today if you prefer that look more!
+ADMIRE! Cause you freaking did that!
