I'm going to subscribe just because of the cool insert when you dropped the buffing pad. Too funny. I attempted to spray a clear lacquer over a small repair on a very high gloss table. Ended up with a dull area, and it occurred to me that toothpaste might be a way to shine that spot up. I note you repeated that step several times. I'm hesitant to use a buffer since the area is so small (maybe 4 inches in diameter). If you have any thoughts I would welcome them.

@FennahMakes

Hi Daniel! Thanks! Glad you liked it! Polishing with toothpaste works, but if I were you and you are trying to repair an expensive table, just use a polishing compound made for this. If your hesitant to use a buffer, just try and rub it in with a clean, microfibre cloth and polish with a polish pad. Hope it helps! Greetings Sander from Fennah Woodworking

Thank you. I will purchase a polishing compound. It's a small area. I said going in I wouldn't be able to improve it (originally a 4 inch scratch dead center in the high gloss top of a dining room table), but my designer client asked me to give it a shot. I will file this one under "should have known better"! I'll be looking forward to your posts.

this video saved my life from taking a trip to the store! question though, if i dnt have a polisher machine thing, will using a microfiber cloth work? i know itll take time but i definitely cant afford to buy one of those tools yet😩 any tips?

Hey can u also polish the wood beside the river aswell?

@FennahMakes

6 ай бұрын

You can ‘polish’ wood but not with toothpaste!

Does the wood have to have finish before polishing the epoxy? I've got a couple of birch slaps which I dried and I poured some epoxy in the cracks. I'm thinking about finishing the wood with danish oil but at what point should I polish the epoxy, before or after finishing the wood with oil?

@FennahMakes

3 жыл бұрын

You should polish the epoxy first, than apply the finish! If you have non-transparent epoxy you could just sand it to 400 grit or so and apply the finish. If you have transparent epoxy sand it to 2000 grit and polish it (with toothpaste if you like)! Hope this helped you??

Using your sweater isn’t a good idea, since freshly buffed you can let in any fabric softener or dryer sheet residue into it and it will end up looking less shiny and clear than it could be. If you don’t believe me, wash a piece of clear glass then wipe it off clean with your sleeve, now check the glass by tilting back and forth in the light and see if it came out clean or if you notice streaks on it.
