$7.41 Extreme Auction Flip Makeover - This top was SO damaged |

  • I won this buffet at auction for $7.41. I forgot I even bid on it until I got the notification that I won. Well, the joke was on me, because the top had major damage from melted candle wax.
    I tried to re-veneer it, but I must not have used the correct glue or I didn’t apply the glue correctly because I had some pockets that didn’t adhere. I took it all off and decided to fill it in and paint over it.
    That was not fun because it was difficult to get a completely smooth surface. I used several products, but the last one was my favorite and really smoothed everything out.
    Wow, what a beast, but now it’s a beauty!

    I use rubber cement to glue the veneer. In a well ventilated space, apply cement to both furniture surface and veneer back. Let both dry thoroughly. Space out long, thin dowel rods on surface. Align veneer on top. Working from the center, pull the middle rod out and smooth outward. Remove rods, one at a time, and smooth as you go. Once down, it will not come off! So make sure you are lined up!!! This method never fails me. You talked about the veneer lifting. I've never had that to happen with rubber cement.

    You need contact cement for the veneer. And for the bondo…use a 3” plastic spatula.. also on the veneer you need something to smooth out the bubbles. Been there, done it and it works great 👍🏻

    Hi! Great job! One tip for doing veneer sheets. When you’re done ironing (you can iron directly on like a 4-5 setting so mid setting) take a wet cloth or sponge and wipe it down this will show you the spots that didn’t glue down all the way 🫶🏼 then iron those out! But great job! Super helpful to watch you do this!!

    • @ivylaneinteriors
      @ivylaneinteriors  5 місяців тому +18

      I was able to iron the spots down, but I was concerned about the long term. That is why I decided to take it off. It was just a fail all the way around 😩

    • @garbagechan
      @garbagechan 5 місяців тому +19

      came here to post this, its normal to not get all the glue set on the first go when doing it like this, you'll want to wipe it down with water and check for your lifted spots and iron those down, let it set, then do that a couple more times till you feel like you've got them all. worse case scenario they will show when you put on your final varnish/wax/etc and you'll have to iron it then re varnish the area

      Since there's obvious wax on this piece, clean that I would suggest the following: clean off all the wax you can with your scraper and vacuum whatever, cover the waxed areas with a couple of layers of paper towels then using a pretty warm, warm iron go over the wet, the paper towels and see how much wax they can pull out of the wood with the heat And the paper towels to absorb the wax. You might be very surprised at how much you can get out of the surface that way. I tried this once, and it pretty much took almost all the wax out of the surface very easily. I've also raises the nap on the surface of the wood, which takes out, minor gouges and scrapes.

    Two things. I love Bondo spreaders. They work great. Second was did you weigh down the veneer like with weights books etc? I would have maybe tried to flip it upside down to dry? Awesome end result tho!

    • @ivylaneinteriors
      @ivylaneinteriors  5 місяців тому +2

      Yes, I have multiple Bondo spreaders, but I didn’t use them until later. 🥴 The ironing was supposed to take the place of weighing it down. 🤷‍♀️ I read later not to use yellow wood glue, but that was what they recommended. Lessons learned 🙌🏼

I watch others but they don't elaborate on the process and I still can't get the gold leaf to work as easily as everyone else seems to but I also know it can't be that easy so I just keep plugging along. You definitely know what your work is worth but you are humble enough to probably be around if anything else on the piece goes wrong. Thank you for having a great attitude and being willing to let everyone know it's not always smooth sailing n

    Your perseverance is awesome, my husband and I joke the 3rd time is a charm. We have done SO many projects over before we were happy with them. That is a sign of a professional artist who seeks to do it right, and give the client their best, not do it fast just to make as much money as quickly as possible. I. The end your finished product is beautiful! I have been doing this for many years and it never gets old either doing a project or watching someone else do one and learning along the way.

    Thank you for the detailing. It's really helpful to see the entire process. And so many refinishers don't go to the level you do, like taking off the doors. It makes a difference. What I really want to know is how the heck do you keep your nails so beautiful! OMG. I also really like the painted top instead of the wood.

I was exhausted by the end, just watching you go through the process. I have also flipped refinished and flipped furniture, but I've never taken on such a big project as this. You stuck it out and it looks great. Nice job.🎉
