I am making my first large canvas of a size that will need cross braces (approx. 4x6 feet finished) I've never had to attach cross braces to stretcher frames before. Are they nailed in through sides? How do you handle the overlap of north/south brace where it meets the east/west brace? Please help a novice! thanks. |

I've been asked to organize a group of parents at my daughters school to paint in an already sketched mural. The wall that the sketch is on has been painted with oil based paint.

I was disappointed with a flat finish. Unacceptable for the kitchen cabinets I was working on! I have read the entire label on the can. It did not note the final finish. I was assuming that the glaze would be smooth, not chalky to the touch! What do I look f...... read more |

I PURCHASED A PINE CHILDS TABLE AND CHAIR SET. I WOODBURNED DESIGNS INTO IT AND COLORED SOME OF IT WITH COLORED OIL PENCILS. CAN I STILL STAIN OVER IT WITHOUT RUINING THE WOODBURNING OR COLORS OR AM I STUCK WITH THE NATURAL PINE. ALSO, WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR FINISHING THIS FOR A LASTING DURABILITY? I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS BEFOREHAND, BUT THIS IS MY FIRST PROJECT OF THIS TYPE. THANK YOU |

I need to strip solid oak cabinet doors. I took them to a company nearby, they said that the doors were treated with an catalyst type polmer/sealer, when they dipped them in the stripper, it only etched the surface. I want to change the stain color, to lighten them up. Is there any hope, can my cabinets fronts be stripped, they are only 12 years old? Is there a process out there that can lighten them up, so you can still see the wood gr...... read more |

The coral wall color stays. How do we tone it down? If we whitewash over the coral will it turn pink? Or should we glaze it with b. umber or r. umber? Thanks for your help. |
