Table Refinish

What do teenage girls, nail polish remover, and beautiful hard wood tabletops have in common? Nothing! Although this looks like 4 easy steps, the process was much more complex. The first step was to chemically and manually remove the damaged finish. Stain then had to be color matched to the base. The top was sanded multiple times. When applying the finish the first time, a defect called “fish eye” was clearly visible. It’s basically when silicone (found in furniture polish) gets into any opening or crevice on the woods surface. It causes traditional finishing techniques to look flawed. Strip and sand take two. After some research and expert consultation, a few more strip/sand/trial and error attempts, it was determined that multiple coats of a spray lacquer would put the beautiful finish on this table that you see here, without the flaws.
