The truly difficult task for properly restoring woodwork is mixing the color from scratch to match the existing finish. That exceptional talent of the Hester craftsman is one of the main differentiators with Hester’s work.
Here are the steps involved with this tremendous transformation for this restaurant furniture.
- Solvent wash to remove oils, dirt, etc from the furniture
- Sand the furniture
- Mix stain or glaze to match the existing color of furniture to be restored.
- Overstain or glaze the furniture
- Apply sanding sealer or 1st coat of varnish.
- Scuff sand in order to provide a smooth finish.
- Finish coat with varnish.
