	... in the 'junk' drawer for quick fixes. Because of the grain variety i have a few from light to a bit darker. Worth a try. It will soak quickly into the scratched raw exposed wood. Test with a few taps on the scratch, just an inch, and immediately wipe off with a clean rag. Give it time to dry at least an hour to see if it give the correct repair and color match. You could even test a bit of wax on that spot with a q-tip and buff. (i prefer to test a spot or area underneath, not visible, first) It is such a weak stain and heavily diluted with solvent that it ...
	It seems like this "barkeep" product	1 Relevance	13 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	... for. I'm all for diY and using what's on hand, but I would never advise putting an abrasive powdered cleanser on finished furniture. Generally, it's a good idea to start with the least aggressive and potentially harmful products and work incrementally up from there. Oxalic acid would be among the last resorts if the cause of the stain is unknown. Usually, I start with a clean rag dampened with water. I recommended trying a test with diluted household chlorine bleach on a cotton swab because I've had good results removing mildew stains with this technique in ...
	Start with something not-so-strong	1 Relevance	15 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Start with something not-so-strong like soap and water, then work your way up if necessary. The progression suggested by the Naugahyde people is: 1. A solution of 10% household liquid dish soap with warm water applied with a soft damp cloth. 2. If that doesn't work, a solution of liquid cleanser and water applied with a soft bristle brush. Wipe away the residue with a water-dampened cloth. 3. If that doesn't work, dampen a soft white cloth with lighter fluid (naphtha) and rub gently. Rinse with a water-dampened cloth. 4. If that doesn't work, dampen a soft w ...
	I could	1 Relevance	17 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	I could I could make a chair out of chicken poo and scorpion shells, which I'm pretty sure no one has done before, but that doesnt make it good. This is the problem - this chair is about novelty, but even that novelty has been diluted by the three people he is 'emulating'. A much better example of this process would be what he did for Emeco with Hudson. He describes Hudson as "squinting your eyes when looking at the Navy chair, and this is the pure silhouette of the form". And in doing so he created a truly elegant, beautiful, and original work. With th ...

	Vintage tulip tables	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	... glossy and bright, cool white, and they have a plastic look to me. If your table base is in excellent condition (no chips or loss to the edge), you are very fortunate and I'd encourage you not to paint it at all. There are environmental factors that can cause it to yellow. Smoke, like Barry said, is a common culprit. You might want to try cleaning it with some common household cleaners if you want it to not look as yellow. I've used Scrubbing Bubbles and Soft Scrub with good results. Soft Scrub usually has some bleach in it, and is mildly abrasive so I'd go ...

	If you?re going for that... If you?re going for that vibe how about an acronym of Palm Springs followed by a number (like the case study houses CSH 21) something like PS15,PS16 I know the CSH programme was more LA but hey it?s not to far away :p As far as towns / areas in the Coachella valley I much prefer North Palm springs, it has that great mix of open desert landscape and modernist buildings that looks so great, for me the further you go down the valley the more diluted this becomes, pete

	Shellac is essentially french... Shellac is essentially french polish - you can buy shellac sealer or simply use french polish diluted with extra meths (my choice). Use a soft brush (I use a 'polishers mop' but these are expensive for a one off job)and apply quickly becuase it'll dry very fast. Don't go over any parts you miss leave them for the next coat. Apply several coats as you'll be cutting a lot of it back. Leave for a an hour or so and then lightly sand with 400 grade paper to get an even surface (making sure not to cut through your layer of sealer). ...
	Don't sand it at all!!	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Antonella	General discussion
	Don't sand it at all!! Don't sand it at all or you will ruin it, and it will be impossible to repair the damage. Just buy a varnish remover: that will melt the paint away completely in a few minutes. Then I advise you to take it to a professional workshop and ask them to give it a natural transparent polished look. Alternatively, if the wood is smooth, you could give it just one hand of extremely diluted transparent varnish making sure that the brush is not too wet so that it doesn't drip.
	Why vs. How gets to the heart of it...Pt. 1	1 Relevance	20 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Why vs. How gets to the heart of it...Pt. 1 and tracing it to Descarte helps me put it into a historical legacy that drives the point home with resonance. The duality precipitated by Descarte and other philosophers of his time and the ensuing divergence of thought and action that haunts epistemological underpinnings of most fields to this day, as a result, should quite logically apply to design, shouldn't it? It is quite logical to me now that you describe it. Design as a field came along relatively recently, but still it bears in its philosophical dna the s ...

	Yeah, I was concerned about the alcohol getting in the joints, could it possibly weaken any glue in there? I also have to admit at one stage I tried diluting the spirits with scalding water, and it KIND of worked. Admittedly it left the chair a state afterwards,it looked like I smeared chalk all over it. But another wipe around with pure alcohol sorted that out and left a lot of shellac on my rag. But it sounds like your way might be best to finish it.
