Stain Removal
|
I tried several things to remove a stain, without success, until I used oxalic acid. I bought the crystalline form online, but many deck cleaning solutions contain it, too, and they're typically available at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. | |
Here's how the cabinet looked before restoration. The lacquer is completely gone in a circle, and there's a dark ring stained into the wood. |

Here's
the end result. I scraped all the lacquer off this one side first, then
sanded it down, before applying a new coat. NOTE: check an unobtrusive
spot. |
