Now they are all covered with wide cracks in the paint. Is our only recourse to strip them all? Sarah <sarda1951@hotmail.com> - Friday, July 15, 2005 at 23:55:39 (EST) Thanks so very much for taking your time to create this very useful and informative site. I have learned a lot from your site.

Christie Owens <Christiewns@yahoo.com> - Sunday, May 22, 2005 at 16:49:03 (EST) Thanks for this site. I am about to repaint my kitchen cabinets, and although I have experience, this site is great for having all the steps and needed materials in one place! I do have a question: on some of my drawers, the edges of the raised center piece (raised rectangle within the rectangle of the drawer - I forget the term)have worn down to the bare wood, and have lost the crisp edge. Should I try to restore it, or just sand down the other drawers to match? I thought about replacing all the drawer fronts but haven't priced that out yet. Do you have advice for me? Thanks Virginia Corrigan <vmcorrigan@comcast.net> - Sunday, May 15, 2005 at 09:40:37 (EST) great site! Musa <musa_usman@elitemail.org> - Sunday, May 08, 2005 at 11:16:39 (EST) Just found your site. Havent had time to really check it out but I have a question. I'm stripping a old metal and wood bar stool style chair. After taking off 1 layer of paint I saw copper. I found out its totally copper except the arm rests and seat. It's design is a twisted bar style. Am I doing any harm in using a citrus stripper or can I use a more powerful and faster stripper ?

I KNOW I NEED TO SAND THEM AND THEN PRIME WITH KILZ. CAN I STAIN THEM WITH A WOOD STAIN OR CAN I ONLY PAINT THEM? THEY HAVE A LATEX PAINT ON THEM NOW.

Francesca24l <frances566@yahoo.com> Santa Monica', CA USA - Saturday, January 29, 2005 at 16:53:56 (CST) I jost got an estimate for refacing from SEARS. $14.000. My husband and I were dumbfounded. I knew they were pricey, but never imagined to what extent. I asked about the quality of Silestone. The man said it burned if you put a match next to it; of course, they work only Corian. And the cabinets? That was another issue, for he didn't want to, nor did he tell us how he reached the amount of $8,880 for 9 larger cabinet doors and 8 small ones plus the side refacing. Now I am purchasing the items for cleaning the cabinets and the sides, but my question to you is, What is Melamine or Melanine? My cabinets are covered with a thin skinned veneer which is not laminate nor wood but what this person said was cheap veneer or the most basic. Can I clean and paint it? Do I have to peel it off? if so, how? what tools do I need? Thamk you so much for your valuable information. It is so helpful. Linda Albert Linda Albert <Aloquito1@aol.com> - Thursday, January 27, 2005 at 11:59:27 (CST) Great Site! I found your site very useful. I definitely will return again. Big thanks!

I have an old country style solid oak sideboard that is too large for my home. But I would love to use it to decorate my front porch (10 ft deep by 40 ft wide & covered). What can Ifinish it in to withstand the humidity of Tallahassee, Fl.? Letitia Galloway <swarm6@earthlink.net> - Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 20:11:43 (CST) my kiatchen has a very dull formica cabinets, wood color. the counter top is like new "kid glove white", and they do not match. the cabinets are very sound but ugly finish. what can i do to refinish and what color will be resaleable. j m kalbuneh <kalbuj@aol.com> - Tuesday, November 30, 2004 at 01:36:03 (CST) Thank you for your information on painting kitchen cabinets. I painted them using information on another site and after 1 year the paint is not holding up. I used the TSP and steel wool to clean the doors, put on a primer and 2 coats of paint. Your advice to use a liquid sanding product and Kilz is really what will make the paint stick to the doors! I didn't use Kilz and from what I'm now reading, it is probably the best on the market! I am very revved to start my kitchen cabinet painting (again) in the Spring! Thank you so much for all the information. I know this time, the cabinets will be great! Do you have a suggestion for a type or brand of paint? I used an eggshell finish, but it seems too flat. Anyway, I put you in my "favorites" webpages for future reference. Happy Holidays. Linda from New Jersey Linda <sall514@peoplepc.com> - Saturday, November 20, 2004 at 11:01:11 (CST) I can not afford to replace my kitchen cabinets, but want to repaint them. I don't want to have to pay for the refinishing, can you tell me exactly what I need as far as the liquid sandpaper and what other products I will neet. Your site is the only one I found that had the liquid sandpaper. Thank you, Cheryl Hosel <elep767888@aol.com> - Tuesday, November 16, 2004 at 13:56:23 (CST) I will be refinishing my kitchen cabinets, they are oak veneer, installed with the house in the early eighties. I've not done anything like this before, so it is first a matter of getting info, ideas, best practices. Your further articles about refinishing is eagerly awaited. Thanks! Barbara <bad@ev1.net> - Sunday, November 14, 2004 at 17:09:50 (CST) Hi, I was reading your tip on "How to Resilver a Mirror Quickly, Easily and Cheaply" in your newsletter 2001-02. Tha is a great tip. I was doing research on how to resilver and it is crazy expensive and dangerous. Your tip is very smart and does the job. I do have one question though, I was wondering if you could tell me what you would use to attach the new mirror on the back of the original one? Some type of glue that will not damage the backing of the original mirror. Thanks so much for your help, Victor Victor <vtec14@yahoo.com> - Friday, October 29, 2004 at 12:06:40 (CDT) I was going to strip a 50year old (approx.) dinning room set, but after reading on your site you showed me to clean and restore first and I believe it will do the job.

Very excited. But need to remember some things, and learn about alot of new products. Roxanne Moody <rmoody@farrislaw.com> - Tuesday, September 28, 2004 at 11:39:52 (CDT) Have been looking for sites on refinishing to expand my knowledge on refinishing and cleaning and preservation of old finishes. I work in a small refinishing shop in Rhode Island. Since we started offering hand finishing and shellac finishes the demand has grown by leaps and bounds. I am always looking for new products and ideas. This site will be a delight. Jean Reynolds <brmclst@netsense.net> - Sunday, September 26, 2004 at 17:15:45 (CDT) I like your site, thank You!

Your site has more truly useable information than any of the high-end do-it-yourself sites. Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to post this valuable info!! :-) Sheila Broumley <sheila@ridinthewave.com> - Sunday, September 05, 2004 at 21:35:54 (CDT) My birthday present was an old (ivory keys) piano. I've fallen in love with this old guy and decided to refinish it. I found and purchased info from Affleckpianotuning.com on taking a piano apart & refinishing. I have been successful at stripping, sanding and staining but I am totally confused about what Don Affleck is saying to do next....Seal with shellac, apply sanding sealer then hand rub. I thought shellac was a top coat like putting on polyurethane. Anyway, I'm looking for sites that can explain the how to's for me so I do this right. So far it's beautiful!! Thanks for letting me vent some frustration! Susan Susan Brouse <lbrouse@the-onramp.net> - Wednesday, September 01, 2004 at 20:50:47 (CDT) Great Site! I love it. I'll be back soon!

The wood is mahogany and they are approx. 28 years old. I have stripped all the old finish, sanded them and applied a clear coat of finish. The problem I have is that is can't seem to get rid of the marks that were made by the old handles. I have sanded and resanded but the marks are still there. Any suggestions as to how to get rid of these marks would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Barb Brown <bfbrown@shaw.ca> - Monday, August 02, 2004 at 21:33:33 (CDT) Nice Site.

I have followed the directions plus used my wits to try and get in the rails of the chairs but to no avail. This stuff just doesn't want to come off. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Yours is a breath of fresh air and makes my job of re-painting kithen units much easier ...thankyou Andrew Sherburne <shrubsy@aol.com> - Sunday, July 11, 2004 at 15:03:18 (CDT) Following the Wicker Menu page was extremely easy and helpful. My current project is cleaning, moisturizing and finishing some great, thick-caned bamboo furniture to be used outdoors. It is quite an exercise in patience! The only question I have is how to lighten the greying that has occured over time where the pieces have been exposed to moisture. Is it mildew and would it have to be bleached? Or is there a gentler alternative? Your time is greatly appreciated! Thank you for the wealth of information on your site. Megan Megan Birnbaum <meganbirnbaum@yahoo.com> - Sunday, July 11, 2004 at 14:43:22 (CDT) First time visit--looking how and where to buy wicker repair supplies.

Have a great 4th of July. Lynn <Braclyn2@peoplepc.com> - Friday, July 02, 2004 at 17:04:06 (CDT) I have a dresser that's about 95 years old. It looks like a painted vaneer (sorry about spelling...I'm new to this!) The top is chipping off like paint. I know that I'll never refinish it to look like the original. The dresser is special because it was my great-grandfather's before he was married. Please don't cringe...but I'd like to paint it, maybe give the paint a stressed look. Any advice? karilowry@hotmail.com Kari Lowry <karilowry@hotmail.com> - Friday, July 02, 2004 at 11:02:48 (CDT) I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO REDO MY KITCHEN CABINETS BY REFACING/REPAINTING THEM.
