    A really good multiple grit sanding prior to your grain filling might have helped? BTW, thinning a spackle compound is a new one for me - good on ya! Nicely done.

    Super helpful. One day i will need to pain my kitchen cabinets (wood, oak). Huge job and I am terrified to ruin them as I have no too much experience, especially with something as high-traffic as kitchen. So I started to watch videos like this one to understand how to diminish my chances for failure. Thanks again!

    Have you tryed the new colorshot? It doesnt smell like paint & the VOCs are low it comes in primer+ paint, Satin, gloss, flat and others cuz its from californa where their stricter with the chemicals it says no sanding needed, I spray painted a rolling cart with mesh curved shelves out on the balcony I think it was around 40° humitiy very high cuz I didnt finish before it started raining cuz management was going to tear down balconys and replace I had 1 day to finish I didnt have drip marks or blotchs or bleed threw of rust, I had a black 6ft screen room seperator and started with rustolum black gloss ran out & finished with the colorshot had to go over many times since the rustolum had bleed though of the rust, seems like the paints are not interchangable end result seems like it never dried completly sticky to the touch leaving fingerprints oh and since I was outside I sanded the rust with diffent grits! Doing restoration i cant learn enough but I know some sprays cant be used together, now i have to figure what type of material will be stiff enough and not see through I think its 5x5 originally fiberglass inserts that would cut your fingers just moving it, its also sentimental probly 40s asian style some people might call it a changing screen you see em in the old westerns

    Okay, I am a bit confused. Instead of filling the woodgrain (valleys), couldn't you just sand the thing down to remove the peaks? This seems like less work.

    • @ARayofSunlight
      @ARayofSunlight  5 місяців тому

      Nope, you can’t ever sand down far enough to remove the woodgrain.

      ​@@ARayofSunlightThat's not true. You can use a sander to get it back to its natural state. Where it's all even and no pockets. I've done many times. Adding spackling to a dresser is a bit odd

    I am fairly new at refurbishing furniture... I found something and somebody's free pile that was a great storage piece but it had blue spray paint already on it and I wanted to go over it with white spray paint when I did that... I tried to take the blue spray paint off by sanding it down... That didn't work.
    I was crunched for time so I thought I would put a primer and just spray paint over top when I did that once the paint was dry Even up two weeks later This smallest bump against it would scratch the paint off and also if you try to fix the scratch you could actually lift the paint off and peel it off. Why do you think that happened? By the way I sold the piece out of the yard sale for $20

    • @YoutubeNathanShorts
      @YoutubeNathanShorts 6 місяців тому

      Did you make sure there was no dust after you sanded? There is also a curing time for primer, and it depends on the current environment. Also, this channel has a very useful video on which primer/paint combination resists scratching - ua-cam.com/video/uM_boGIOTIM/v-deo.html

    I learned a lot from this one. Rolling on thinned out spackle? Brilliant. Not sure how I missed your video when it 1st posted. I don’t have luck spraying from a can. The grittiness bothers me. I sprayed a lacquer the other day to seal the top of side tables and it left a powdery residue. What the what? Quick question, what mic do you use to record voiceovers? It’s so clear. Mine is awful unless I record outdoors. And what editing software do you use?

If this wasn't sentimental I'd pay someone to Carry it to the dumpster😆

    @RadekZielinski. 2 роки тому +2

    All you had to use is a roller and oil thick based paint, like eggshell or enamel, like... for a radiator. These paints naturally get smooth like butter. all you had to do is disassemble the table before painting it lying flat for no drips to occur. Spray paint you can add in the end on top of primer and some light sanding to the dried thick paint. It's painful watching this... floor paints are cheap, and you can probably paint 20 of these will little to no cash. And these paints stick like mad to anything, plus dry in smooth finish. I really don't understand what you mean when you say it's durable... since wood will expand and contract, and crack even if it's plywood... the paints you used in spray paint are brittle and will flake off that wood over time, unlike the paints i told you about which are flexible when they dry.
    PLUS, you could've just drilled a small hole before putting in the screws... so the legs would hold. Also, so they hold better could use Super glue on them just before screwing them in lightly, LIGHTLY! It shows you don't know much about wood since that bit of 2/4 there cracked from your screw up. 6:17 and... these are short as hell to hold such long legs. If you want your spray paint job to look smooth.. by the way, it's a lot more work. you need to add lacquer and then compound it and polish... then you will have mirror smooth finish on spray can job.

    For a more consistent finish (gloss), you want to 'push the wet edge'. Overspray creates a less than gloss finish.

    If that was real white oak hard wood and not just veneer than it.s a sin to mess up such nice wood with just cheap spray paint. You could have left all base in original colour. Sand it and give it just 2 coats of clear warnish and spray paint drawers only with white. That would look 100 times better. Pure white is boring and looks like just bought from pawn shop 😊
