Furniture Medic in Albuquerque offers tips for simple success

Refinishing grandma’s antique table doesn’t have to strip your patience. Refinishing techniques can easily turn any piece of furniture into a prized possession. The products you will need are often available at the local paint store. Along with some creativity, a little experimentation and the following tips from Furniture Medic experts, you can be on your way to fabulous furniture.

• Before you refinish, be sure you won’t devalue the piece.
• Remember not to mix oil- or solvent-based products with water-based products.  Stick to using products from the same family.
• Keep in mind that water-based or acrylic products dry  very quickly, and without the odor typically associated with oil- and solvent-based products.
• The sales staff at the paint store, along with the manufacturer’s instructions on the products, will help you apply a new finish successfully.
