Oh gosh. Thank you so very much for sharing. I was about to throw out this Ikea outdoor table I had (that I absolutely love but has weathered over the years). I saw your video and decided to try to "bring it back to life". I will let you know how it goes! Thank you again for sharing!
How did it go? :O
did it work out???
My mum was gonna throw her side tables out and I was likw wait!! Let me redo them. Never redid anything and found this video for the exact tables loll
That's awesome! Hope you were able to salvage them :-)
Hi! Now that Ikea Varda is no longer available, any other alternatives?
Omg thanks! Just got a similar one but it’s bigger and totally doing this! The set I got is $340!
I do this with the idea deck tiles.. every summer... its great
Do you also sand them as well?
Hello, thanks for this easy tutorial. Is there no need to seal it?
J'ai fais ma table et chaises applaro qui date de 5 ans et elles sont comme neuve! Merci des bons conseils.
Super! C'est fou ce qu'on peut accomplir avec un peu d'huile de coude ;)
I'm hoping this technique will work on my boat seats.
C'est une des façons de le faire. Plutôt que de sabler, je nettoie tout avec une laveuse à pression, ça permet d'aller dans tous les recoins. Une fois bien sec, j'applique du Australian timber Oil (Cabot) au pinceau et j'essuie avant qu'elle ne devienne collante.
Parfait, il y a plusieurs méthodes en effet qui font l'affaire.
Awesome video thanks a lot. Are you able to guesstimate how many pieces of furniture a can of Varda will cover? I have 1 table like yours, 2 small ones and 6 chairs
Is there a different stain that you recommend? (can't buy this one)
Is varda just a stain or a sealant as well?
Awesome! I have the Applaro gate-leg table that needs to be refinished. :)
You should try this, definitely worth it.
What kind of sander do you recommend? For occasional use. :) TIA!
Hi i have the exact same table but instead of stain, i wanted to paint matte. Do i hv to apply a primer after sanding? Thanks!
hi, total beginner question here. Can I skip the sanding process and directly paint on top of the old clean surface? I will have to re-fresh the Applaro table and 4 chairs all by myself. any tips? Thanks!
You don't have to sand, but it's highly recommended. It helps return the the top to a smooth surface and means the stain/sealer will have a more consistent finish. You actually can hand sand everything, so it's mostly a time investment over a financial one.
I was just about to ask the same question!
Does varda stain protect against sun ?
Thank you for this! Any other brand or type of stain you can recommend? My IKEA doesn't carry Varda :(
I was actually able to find Varda stain on eBay. And you’re right... ikea doesn’t seem to sell it anymore
@@rosemarieberman918 it is seasonal. I find you have to grab it right when the patio furniture comes out. I wish they carried it year round.
@@renataramasra Thank you for that. I actually found the stain on eBay! It was perfect as were your instructions!
Do you use any products in between restains to get an “ok” condition finish to shine?
Nicely restored & im not sure what the equivalent of Varda in Australia is but I use similar products to finish projects off with as well 👍
Sumo's Projects They now sell this product in Australian Ikea stores. Hope that helps 😊
Millie Rose Thank ya for that feedback 👍
Does it end up flaking off the same way the original finish did or would it be helpful to add some sort of weather proofing?
It will hold up for a few years of you just recoat it every year. Otherwise it will require refinishing after a few years.
Beeswax over the finish help waterseal it for another few years
My table isn’t in super bad shape. Can I just clean it up and apply without having to sand it?
Yes if its still in decent shape that will work
Can't get this stain for love nor money in the UK, does anyone know a good alternative?
Sadly Ikea is no longer caring this product. I found it on Amazon, it to read "currently unavailable" ...😕
Hi I really enjoy your channel ☺ Keep it up!
Can you use varda stain on indoor furniture too? :)
Absolutely. There is nothing in it that prevents it from being used indoors.
Did you need any breathing masks when you applied the ikea product or is it safe to not wear one?
nah man just send it!
Hello! Is it okay to use Varda on indoor furniture?
It's perfectly fine for indoor application.
but Ikea won't deliver the Varda wood stain in UK ! gonna have to do a 2hr return trip for one pot of stain
Sorry to hear that. Have you tried Amazon?
Any stain would do try sadolins or rustins
How much time do you need to let dry?
About 24 hours if I recall the instructions from the can.
Don’t jump from 80 grit to 220 grit sandpaper. Huge no no!
Yes, absolutely right. Should have done more like 80, 120,180
What's the music called.

This what Trump uses for his fake tan
Not a great finish on it, a bit blotchy.
