I made a horrible mistake. Any way to close those gaps?
I thought I’d turned the iron off. I even checked it, but I was wrong.
I know that this table needs to be resurfaced, but those gaps are huge. Is there any way I can close them again? I’m assuming filling them wouldn’t end well with wood contracting due to the high humidity in my house.
What was I doing wrong?
I did 2 passes with a 1/2" bit in this ash to get a 1/2" deep channel (don't know the correct term). No issues at all. But when I adjusted the fence to do more passes to make the width of the channel 11/16", the bit was pulling the wood agressively in to it and then broke. The channel was being widened on the fence side of the bit, and as I'm writing this, I think that was the issue. Am I correct? Almost had my second trip to the hospital thanks to the router
Polyurethane help!!!!
So I painted a table top with a semi gloss finish and wanted to apply polyurethane to it to give it more durability.
I’ve used poly before and never had any issues: flat paint, stained wood, those things.
However this time something went very wrong. While applying it, it looked like it was eating away at the paint and started revealing blotches on the surface. Before the poly, it was a clean painted surface, then the poly just completely ruined it.
Can someone help me understand what in the world happened?!?
Paint - SW Emerad Semi Gloss
Poly - Behr Water Based Poly
