Thrift Diving very impressed nice job !

[@dlghtfl1]

You should have primed the wood before you glued the paper down. The acid from the wood will migrate and discolor the paper. You could have also used a sealer on the metal legs to keep them from rusting again.

[@chandreaanderson1]

Thrift Diving very creative!!! Love it!!!

[@Meggyp0p]

Thrift Diving it might have been your brand of epoxy that yellowed the paper originally. I recommend Stone Coat Countertop’s Art Coat.

[@rosehale7228]

Wow I thougth the metal was golden😂 turns out it was rust😂

[@ThriftDiving]

LOL, that thing was DIRTY! :)

But then what would happen to my KZbin channel??!! ;) LOL. Just kidding. Thanks, Sabrina!

[@cynthiathomas5443]

Sabrina Bell HGtv used to have a show called "Salvage. Dogs" spotlighing a company fron Roanoke VA. THEY TOOK IT OFF AND ALL THEY HAVE NOW IS STUPID JUNK.

[@nothinbutfacts5500]

I 100% agree!!

[@dianethompson9525]

It looked really good and you did a great job!! I think it would’ve looked good with the metal pieces white too!

[@dianewilliams9858]

Agree the frame should have been a satin white also..love the paper she used tho😊

[@wigglypaw]

or matched the metal trim

[@christinahighsmith4453]

@@wigglypaw I was hoping for a metal trim all the way around also... sort of a retro, later mid-century vibe. Ah well, still neat!

[@shawnaxo4370]

Diane Thompson I was thinking the same thing, the white makes the metal pieces stand out. Not so much in a bad way but it can be an eye sore to some, because it draws your eye away from the dramatic artwork she installed.

[@anitafebo4552]

My same thought

[@weston0614]

Beautiful tea cart. Nice job! I think that this project came easy to you because you’re getting better and better the more projects you make. When one of my projects comes together smoothly I get super excited so I can understand your squeals of happiness. It’s such an awesome feeling! Keep up the good work!

[@ThriftDiving]

Yes!! I kept waiting for the shoe to drop! HAHA. So when it didn't drop, I was like, "Wwwhhaat! Heeeeyyyy!" LOL

[@rebeccacarraway480]

Yea the squeals were hilarious 🤣

[@belemgquintana]

looks clean

[@intarc0giotto]

well the paper turns yellow because the epoxy can enter the fine fibers/pores of the paper. if you take some woodglue, pure or mixed with some water if it is too thick, roll it on the paper and let it dry. if you put the epoxy over it it can't enter the fibers/pores anymore and should stay white.

[@katsleggsful]

Giotto Ferrero would something like mod podge, used in decopauge work? That was what I was thinking when she first spoke of epoxy. I've seen epoxy yellow white paint over time.

[@ThriftDiving]

Great point, Giotto! I didn't go into too much detail about my little side experiment with the epoxy, but this is how it went: I did several test boards, one of which I sealed with Mod Podge and then poured the epoxy. That's the larger of the board you see in the video. But it turned yellow around the edges because I didn't seal it completely. I was rushing through the test. The second test piece you saw that was all yellow, I tried a different type of spray to seal it and it didn't work. Hence, the yellowing. The third board, I did 2 coats of the Mod Podge to seal a test board and made sure to thoroughly coat it. I didn't pour epoxy on it because by that time, I realized that I could just do glass and it would look just as good. But meanwhile, I learned a lot about epoxy and LOVED the look of it, but realized that this project wasn't the best project on which to use it. The instructions also advice against using the epoxy on white backgrounds for that very reason: the yellowing. So I'll likely use it on a desk top or a cool craft project. I LOVED working with epoxy!

[@rislens]

If you paint the shelf white prior sticking the paper and then cover it with epoxy, would it go yellow as well? 🤔

[@tahsyr]

Giotto Ferrero that is a great tip but I want to add that you have to make sure the resin isn't yellowed with age as well, the 2 parts of the epoxy should be clear, if one of them is yellow then it's old and will cure with a yellow tinge!

[@haleyroland8198]

I just got in to upcycling furniture after I moved into my first apartment and inherited some furniture from my grandparents’ farm...needless to say, it needed some love after 2 generations of use! Your channel is so inspiring to me to be creative and bold in restoring furniture - you do phenomenal work!

[@paulahubbard9704]

I am cracking up right now. We had that very same cart. We bought it as a TV stand back in the day 1973ish when a "portable" tv had a 17 inch screen. When Atari games came into fashion, we used the bottom shelf for the game console. You did a great job on the re-do!

[@ThriftDiving]

HAHA, wow, so I brought that cart from the 70's into 2018! That's hilarious that TVs were that small and people sat them on little carts like this. How far we've come, huh? Thank you, Paula!

[@plmom6879]

I was thinking it was an old TV chart too! Showing my age!!!

[@alinaumer7543]

Paula Hubbard somebody else also had it! It must have been popular. Super cool

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Aha that's too funny.

[@stevejohnson1685]

Hi, Serena - My parents had a huge old TV on one of these carts, too, bought in the 1970s, and we used the bottom shelf for the huge old VCR. I'm astounded that it didn't collapse under the weight of all that stuff; the shelf boards were really cheap strandboard covered with sticky contact paper. Nice work!

[@sampleworks9432]

[@Erin78G]

@@ThriftDiving Yes it is a task. The frustrating thing is we moved into our house, a year later the garage was almost cleared, when the finished basement flooded! Now the basement items are in the garage until we get the basement fixed. So I wait again, for my project space! In the meantime I will watch your channel and get lots of great ideas.

[@ShellyCline]

That rust remover could change my life! And the cart. Holy cow so beautiful.

[@sierraroseprzybyla3333]

I don't think that the clear coat turned turned the paper yellow as much as it made the white part transparent, and the wood-tone was showing through. If you paint the shelves white first, the clear coat should work just fine ;)

[@ThriftDiving]

You are right--on the second sample, the yellow was definitely due to the epoxy soaking through and the yellow of the wood coming through. But the epoxy instructions did say to not use it on white because of yellowing. Although it may have meant over TIME it will yellow. But still.... Thanks, Sierra!

[@shelasers]

clear silicon around the edges will seal it. I would not of ever dreamed an old tv cheap tv cart could over been made over so cute. I am impressed.

Check in the art section of a craft store for "Fexative". My spelling maybe off. It is a clear spray used to fix charcoal to paper so it does not smug. You may be able to get a product that is equal to it online but as you said before try it first.

You did a wonderful job. Love seeing old things come back to life. This is just an FYI. You can use Clear vinegar and a scratch pad or wire brush, to remove rust. It does a wonderful job. PS. you can use it on old tools as well. It gets all the grease off as well. This does help with all the bad fumes. Happy DIYing. God Bless.

[@TheOneOfEarth]

Love it! You should add some wooden covers over the handles of the cart. Give it some more dimension and more cohesive look! Great project! Those carts can be quite a bit of money and you did an incredible job!

[@ThriftDiving]

Glad you enjoyed that part, Molee! I think of every project as telling a story of how the project came out, not just showing a before and after picture. The fun part is going through the trials of what will work, what won't work, and why I decided to do THIS instead of THAT. Sometimes I make wrong decisions and people will point it out. Like some people have said I shouldn't have used regular glass on this car because it's more shatter-prone. However, to get tempered glass, it would have been way too expensive (at least $250 in glass) and there was no way I could afford to do that. So, it's interesting to tell the story of how a piece comes together, errors and all. :) Thanks for subbing!!!
