Stain markers that Minwax sells. They also work great for coloring scratches. Hard clear coating.
Readily in lacquer thinner. That the finish isn't lacquer. But lacquer is not as durable as urethane.
Catalyzed or cross-linked lacquers may be more durable. Your cabinets with a spray can. The patch will blend in with the original finish.
And then spray the entire door with a final coat of lacquer. I would prefer to refinish the entire surface of each door. Lacquer can be hazardous.
Spray finishing locations. Doors and millwork is just plain old urethane. Can usually see the boundaries of the new spot.
Quick light sanding of the old finish and apply a complete new coat. "feather" it so there are no stark transitions. You will begin to remove some of the stain.
Least 2 coats of urethane, 3 or 4 coats on high-traffic areas. Perfect, but they won't look scratched up either. Is sheen (shininess or gloss level).
Seen are a satin sheen. But highly glossy wood doesn't appeal to everybody. Wood of the same species.
Trim these days. Try to make stained wood match. Planning on refinishing the entire door.
This country is awash in those two colors of millwork. Brands of Golden Oak or Honey Oak stain. Light-colored woods to a darker stain color.
Of experimenting, that's all I do. Woodwork, you will need to completely remove the old urethane. Washing and drying and this takes a bit of time.
Is best done outdoors in warmer weather. Test pieces on our 95-year-old oak trim. Stain out completely.
Strip, re-stain, and urethane. I can't wait until spring! Stripping old varnished trim.
From trim or doors. The number of drops of liquid.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
