    Heat guns are very difficult for a novice to utilize without causing the finish to bubble. I suggest using a hair dryer instead. They are heat and air velocity adjustable. Keeping it moving is also very important. Also there is no 300 grit sand paper. My guess is you’re using #320.

    @@TheMissFlips No worries my friend. Your willingness to fine tune your approach is refreshing. After fifty plus years in the finishing industry, one learns a few things. I found out the hard way what a heat gun can do to ruin a project. They work wonders if you want to melt a stubborn multi layer paint job on a metal surface, but their propensity to cause serious burns and or a fire when working on old house siding make them very dangerous.

    📚 For new and most seasoned Furniture Renovators: Staining, first requires some training. However, it offers a far more lucrative craft of furniture restoration and renovation. *** I highly recommend doing a thorough Tutorial Video Series on the subject. Consulting with experts to offer the complete craft and colors for options. (This series in One's Library would receive a high view volume over time.) It isn't realized in its value, "but it Will" come to be as the current generation of Furniture Artists mature. A higher class level of furniture reproductions are awaiting discovery and the use of 2 different color stains + black paint + Gold Leaf = a Premium Class of Furniture Renovation 🏆

    I've been watching your videos for a while and think your furniture is always best when you have free reign. I have to say, even though your work is impeccable, I'm not a fan of how this turned out. This piece was so unique, and even though it was held together by a few nails and a prayer, I think you would have turned into something very different if you'd found a different piece for a coffee bar for your client.

  • @TheMissFlips
    @TheMissFlips14 күн бұрын

    Hi there! Great questions. Staining or painting is just personal preference or artistic expression. However I always use google lens to look up a piece to see if I should restore or paint depending on how rare/valuable it is. Some pieces are worth thousands and thousands just by restoring them while others are not. For the used thing, I put used, like new because there’s that and then there’s also new. I do not put new. Typically I do not put the before pics.
