Cube Units (by sarah)
To stop anymore cat wee incidents I have become a tad militant - and thus we have been focusing on doing something to the bare wood units we have in the lounge.
Here are photos of the first unit being dealt with.
First off we had to sand the cube all over - especially the edges as these are manky loose grain pine which splinters like anything!
Then we had to dust the saw dust away!
Then to the vanishing - we decided upon silk finish - it took four coats! Still I had estimated 5 coats!
We did everything but the undernieth surfaces, then when dry turned it over and did those - but we then repeated the processes with out turning it over so that there was less of a chance of ending up with a good top and bad bottom - not sure if that makes scense but thats how we're vanishing these babies!
