Finish It Yourself And Save

If you’ve been in the mar-
ket for furniture lately
you’ve likely discovered that
a table and some chairs will
cost you an arm and some
legs.
Among the most popular
interiors these days is the
back-to-nature style wood.
However, the price of wood
furniture has unfortunately
not been rolled back to the
good old days.
There is a compromise

THRILLS & CHILLS
A Complete Carnival
Amusement For All Ages-
Buy new unfinished or used
wood furniture and finish it
yourself. You will end up
with chairs, tables, and
shelves for a fraction of i
what the same item would
have cost you at the furni-
ture store. The difference
can be in the hundreds of
dollars.
Where do you look for
these bargains? The possibil-
ities are almost limjteless.
Try thrift shops, government
and school district auctions,
businesses that are closing
or remodeling, garage sales,
and so on.
Now that you’ve picked up
an old slightly nicked dining
room table for 30 bucks, how
do you turn it into one that
looks like those Danish beau-
ties that are selling for sev-
eral hundred? Well, it takes
a little muscle — but it won’t
cost you very much.
First you may need to
strip the old finish. There
are different degrees of
abrasiveness for sandpaper
from very fine to very
coarse. They also come in
open or closed coatings.
Find someone in your local
handyman or hardware
store that will be able to
give you a quick course on
just which type of sandpaper
will be best for the job you
are doing.
There are a number of dif-
ferent types of finishes you
can stroke on your wood fur-
niture. These include shel-
lac, varnish and lacquer.
Shellac is pretty versatile,
It’s used as a filler, a sealer,
or undercoat — and even as
the final finish. Dilute the
shellac 50-50 with a mix of
pure denatured alcohol. Sev-
eral thin coats are better
than one or two thick ones.
Wait hours between apply-
ing coats. For a first-class
finish, a light sanding be-
tween coats is desirable.
White (actually clear) shel-
lac will give you a slightly
lighter, less tinted tone than
orange shellac. One secret to
applying shellac — don’t do

it when the humidity is high.
It takes longer to di7 and is
thus more susceptible to
dust. Also, the finish may
take on a cloudy or whitish
appearance.
Now on to the wonderful
world of varnishes. It may
appear to be a confusing
world to the novice wood
finisher. Don’t be confused
though, it’s really very sim-
ple. There are high
gloss,semi-gloss and flat
varnishes, plus special pur-
pose varnish. Once again,
ask someone in the store
who knows. If they don’t, go
somewhere else and find
someone who does. It’s your
money, so be sure you know
what you are going to get for
your money.
Because varnish flows
onto a surface instead of
being brushed on like paint,
it should be warmed to ease
this flow. Place the can in
moderately hot water just
before using — but never
over an open flame!
Don’t shake because this
will form small bubbles that
could end up on the finished
surface. The same goes for
stirring.
Apply with flowing brush
strokes against the grain
over a small area. Then flow
it on the grain. Now acorss
the pan stroke the brush to
remove excess varnish. Then
draw the brush very lightly
across the surface with just
the tips of the bristles.
You can do most interior
work with a couple of coats.
For exterior pieces, finish
with three to five coats.
Lacquer is the newest fin-
ish being used by do-it-your-
selfers. Just remember it is
hihgly volatile and dries
quickly.
Always buy an equal
amount of lacquer thinner
and use it in a 50-50 mix.
Apply in broad, sweeping
strokes. DO NOT go over an
area which you feel did not
come out right. Remember
this stuff dries almost
immdiately, so new lacquer
will soften the already old
lacquer which will not give
you a very aesthetic piece of
furniture. Wait until the sec-
ond coat to alleviate mis-
takes.
Lacquer produces the best
finish when you put on sev-
eral thin coats rather than
one or two thick ones.
Now it’s easy to see that
for a few dollars and a few
hours you can avoid months
of paying off the creditors
for a table worth a mint. In-
stead you can have an al-
most new recycled piece or
one you finished yourself for
a fraction of the cost.
