Hi Dan! What should I use on the wood after the aceton? My coffeetable needs some protection?

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 Күн бұрын

Once it is stripped you should sand it with 150-220 grit sand paper, stain and clear coat it. There are a variety of clear coats you can use read the labels to make sure the stain and clear coat are compatible.

Another suggestion - To glue pieces of wood together I recommend liquid nails. It’s commonly used to glue floor boards down in the house

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 10 күн бұрын

I have used liquid nails for attaching cabinets, mirrors and flooring. For repairs I wouldn't use it because it's shear strength max is 240 psi Carpenter glue shear strength is over 2,000 psi depending on the glue and material. The reason being, carpenter glue soaks into the wood much better knitting the 2 pieces together. Hope that helps

Very good. I suggest using GRK truss head screws. They are used to mount cabinets and are better than dry wall screws.

I own a CurerK replica. It is 2 years old. The right shock mount failed last week. They are sending a new bottom shell under warranty. I would recommend this company. I am surprised that these mounting points were engineered this way. My chair mounts appear as strong, if not more substantial, than the Eames, but they broke. I don't think that these mounts should have been engineered like they are. This is a high stress area. I understand this was for aesthetics, but If it was a through bolt mount, there would never be a problem. It could be done with two high strength bolts with a head that looks appropriate for the application. Maybe a black flat or round head. Just my two cents.

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 10 күн бұрын

It is a good point. The problem with a through bolt is the plywood arm becomes at risk and will break in half if out under too much stress. We have replaced many of the lower backrest shells because the wood failed. When this happens we have to purchase a new backrest piece, try and get one with similar grain and color, then color adjust it to match the other pieces. I agree there should be a design change but I don't think it will happen any time soon. if given the choi

What is the difference between varnish, lacquer, and shellac?

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 Ай бұрын

Shellac is an alcohol based product it can be sprayed, brushed or wiped on. French Polish is a way of building shellac with a pad. Varnish sometimes refer to an oil based top coat to seal and protect the wood which sometimes comes with color in it. It is also a generic term for the top clear coat over the sealer. I use the term varnish in this way. Lacquer is a nitro cellulose base product that melts the layer it is being applied to and joins with it chemically. Because of this lacquer can't be brushed on and has to be sprayed. Sanding sealer sometimes is made from the same material and the 1st coat can be brushed on.

Hi Dan, Thanks for sharing this video! I own a 300 years old wooden house in the Netherlands, over the years it has been painted many times in many colors. Based on your experience, would you suggest a laser machine could be a suitable instrument to strip away several layers of paint from antique doors, beams or even larger panels? I'm not looking for a paint stripping tool that is necessarily faster than the traditional methods, more thorough and non damaging the wood is important. I'd be grateful for your thoughts on this!

Good question I hope Dan replies.

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 Ай бұрын

Hello, I'm not sure it will work on the old lead base paint. If I were going to purchase one for that purpose I would get a very high watt machine. We found it will strip off the top layer of paint on furniture but struggles with the primer. Sometimes we are able to remove the primer with multiple passes and sometimes it loosens the primer enough that it can be easily removed with a scraper. I would think the 300 watt machine or above would be able to handle the work. The 200 watt machine may be able to do it but we have never used one(ours is a 100 watt machine) You have to use a putty knife to shield any glass you are working close to. Hope this helps.

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 I spoke to a manufacturer and they said 1000w machines will take 1.5mm of paint - didnt mention anything about lead though. I wonder if lighter woods are more difficult to strip clear coats off of. I read that white paint takes longer to strip as it reflect laser light more.

I have a small area of acetone damage to my brand new nightstand that is a beautiful matte color gray/silver. I am covering it up with a coaster right now. The acetone bottle had acetone on the bottom and I sat it on the nightstand without knowing it. When I realized it was there and tried to wipe it off it took the finish off. How can I fix this spot without causing more damage.

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 Ай бұрын

That is a very difficult repair. We have touched up a few of them and it takes a few tries to get it right. You can make a cut out in a piece of paper and lay it over the repair area. Don't tape it down because the tape may pull off some of the color when you remove it. Then working with a few spray cans mist in a color that is close. Practice first on a piece of paper to see the colors and spray pattern. With a few tries and a little luck you may be able to blend it in. Car part places sometimes have lacquer spray cans with colors and silvers etc if not you can purchase from a mohawk supplier.

I might have missed this in the video, but you're using a pulse wave unit, not the continuous wave... yes? If that's the case, this would work on outdoor funiture as well. Materials such as aluminum, wrought iron, marble, concrete, fiberglass, etc could be integrated within your particular cleaning/restoration service. Btw, has this increased your customer base? How were you able to market your new service? Do you charge by the job or by the hour? The reason I asked is because I live in the southeastern part of the US and see a lot of potential in using this type of equipment for residential and commercial use. It's relatively a new market and I would certainly like to capitalize on it if everything falls into place. Unfortunately, there's not enough information out there to support it as a stand alone business.

We have used it on metal and it works very well. We purchased the 100 watt machine but the 200 watt machine would have been a better choice for thick finishes. We strip about 75% of our projects with the machine and it has held up. We only do refinishing and our shop keeps the machine busy.

Good morning! Thanks for the video! One question though. Can you begin the process on raw wood or does it need to be sealed first? Thanks and I look forward to your reply! Dan

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 3 ай бұрын

You can start with raw wood but it will act like a stain, penetrating the wood fibers which is OK. I always seal the wood first because it lets me see the color of the wood and I can adjust my touch up to that color also if the my first layer is a bad choice it lets me sand it off and go again because it hasn't absorbed into the wood fibers.

@danbogel7739 3 ай бұрын

thank you for the reply. I have another question for you though. I do not do any lacquer spraying because I'm not set up for it. Therefore I hand apply polyurethane. But before I apply polyurethane I put down shellac. With this information, what should I be mixing my pigments with and if I need to remove it from the surface, what's the best product to do that?
