Any woodworkers?

I can’t even imagine doing that in this point in my life. Good luck.

 

same

yeah, when its time its time, but we've moved a lot so it will be ok.

 

I didn’t want to start a new thread on a question I have. Hoping someone in this thread/group might be able to help me out. I have a piece of furniture that I refinished a few years ago. Just recently, my wife put a scent plug-in on the dresser and it spilled without us knowing. Long story short, it looks like it ate through the clear. How would I go about fixing this? Thank you for any advice/help.

 

Time to break out the sander.

 

you will prob have to strip it down and redo the finish. That stuff is nasty on paint or vinyl flooring...i just replaced a panel that got messed up by one of those scent thingy

 

If you have dogs you may want to get those out of the house. My dog was having a real rough time with allergies till we finally tracked it down to the plug in air fresheners. Got rid of them and she was better the next day. Vet said it was fairly common for dogs to be sensitive to them.

 

Well good news my stuff is selling, sold my tablesaw, planer and lathe. I was a little sad to see them go till i helped move them...then i was happy i sold them

 

Did not know that was even a thing... thanks for the heads up!

 

So, sand it back down to bare wood, stain and re-clear? FML.... I'm about to throw away all of those damn plug-ins. Thanks for the information.

 

Thats probably the best solution.

Before that you could try a 50/50 mix of lacquer and lacquer thinner. You’re trying to get the clear shinny coat back. Do the whole top. Might take a couple coats. If it doesn’t work, you’re only out some time as you’ll know for sure you need to sand the whole top at that point. Best case scenario, it worked and you didn’t have to sand or try to match the stain.

 

Thanks. Definitely worth a shot before taking it all back down to bare.

 

I would but that's me. In my personal experience, I've never been super happy with a patch job on most any clearcoat. Looks like its completely missing some in those spots. Id still knock down the edges of the damage area to get rid of all the loose/flakey stuff before attempting the easy fix. It still wont be perfect, but most normal people wouldn't really notice if you do a good job.

 

Thanks for all of the advice everyone. We’ll see how it goes.

 

show some after pics

 

for sure. Gotta find the time to drag it out to the shop and get after it.

 

Then* get off TW and chop chop mister! It’s too cold for the rest of us right now, we need to see someone else’s work!

 

this!

 

Too cold here today too! Only getting up to like 40's... may stay out of the garage today completely.

 

I’ve heard TX is known for its brutal 40° winters.

 

Lol I know, I know.... but it was 82 yesterday.

....and dont worry. I'll be crying when its 105 too.
