  • I found this painted chest of drawers on the Facebook Marketplace and knew it needed a restoration. In this video I remove all the paint from the surface, apply new veneer, use gel stain, and spray water-based polyurethane. Let me know if you like the final look of this restored piece of furniture!

  • @sarahjoyce5041
    @sarahjoyce5041 Місяць тому +3

    Oh tip I would suggest is next time you have veneer that's not missing but perhaps not glued down any more. You can use a needle to put glue and then clamp it you dry. You can save the veneer this way. But if you have a bunch of missing veneer it is certainly easier to redo it all. Just depends on how much you want to sink into the project. You did a fantastic, fantastic job. 😁
