Dodge Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 o.k. slight problem, because I am at work my firewall does not let me see your pictures. Unless you can post them in the gallery?

katieadams Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Doh! I've looked at the gallery but there's nowhere I can see that it wouldn't get chucked off by the mods - not to worry I'm going out now anyway so whenever you get chance it'll be much appreciated!

Dodge Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi sorry not to get back sooner, I would use an orbital sander http://www.wickes.co.uk/Sanders/280W-Orbital-Sander/invt/186871 for the borders and a belt sander http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/catalogId/1500001501/partNumber/7111363.htmfor the rest of the table. The belt sander is a bit of a beast and will make short work of taking your table back to bare wood. The orbital sander has a lot more control and you should have no problem following the grain on the boarders. If you don't want to re stain the table then 3 or 4 coats of danish oil rubbed in with a lint free cloth will give you a brilliant glossy hard finnish. Hope this helps Dodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thats the stuff I suspected rules and regulations would mean it was a shadow of its former self. Used to be wicked stuff. It did indeed. We put it on one side of a door once, to remove umpteen layers of paint......and it caused the paint on the other side to blister....and the door was 2 inches thick!

Hope this helps Dodge Brilliant thanks Dodge, I'll get my husband onto it! Will be a lovely table when it's done, but it's a horrible stain they've got on it! Danish oil sounds just the ticket too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
