Ahhh the dreaded finish blushing. It happens to everyone at some point, especially when it’s chilly or damp. This is going be BEAUTIFUL when it’s all done- I’m already in love with it!! Fantastic save! ❤️❤️
Once again, you do not disappoint. Even in the mistake, you turn it into a learning experience without a downer attitude. Love that you are so positive. Keep up the good work.
Sadness. It was looking so amazing. I almost cried for you. LOL You did an amazing job. I love to see these classic pieces restored, but your refinish was inspired! SOOOO glad you took that hideous paint off!
What a shame about the lacker!!! But what a lesson you have taught us all about drying lacker in the cold! Can't wait to see it after the heat gun. Blessings from Oregon.
Wow just love all your decisions on this one. Art Deco is not my personal favorite style so even more so I have to say WOW that is a stunning design you made, and love love all the wood tones. Thanks for showing the finish mishap, it is so helpful and relatable to see when things go awry.
I completely agree. Relatability and transparency are so important. I know I appreciate it when the people I look up to show it, so I do my best to do the same :) thank you so much for your lovely words 🥰
Oooh gonna have to start checking my insta. I'm an irregular logger-inner! I absolutely love what you did. The stain design is fabulous. The gold stripes are beautiful and the hardware looks lovely too. The hair dryer was really making a difference. Heat gun is a handy thing to have alright. I used to do paper crafting and have a heat gun from back then. Clearing out most of my craft stuff but my heat gun is staying with me. Handy for so many things. I love that you shared this so honestly instead of delaying the upload, fixing the issue and no-one knowing about it. Can't wait to see how the heat gun works for you. I watch Thomas Johnston Furniture Restoration and he uses lacquer regularly. If I remember right he keeps the workshop at a set temperature overnight to let it dry properly. I don't know if you're aware of his channel but he's an absolute master at restoration. Been doing it for over 40 years. And he's a joy to watch.
Wow! Thank you so much for the recommendation! I'll for sure check it out! And believe me, I definitely thought of not showing it and fixing it first, but I decided to be transparent and show that it doesn't always go the way you plan
This piece is so incredibly cool. I loved watching every second of this video and I learned a lot! Can't wait to see it all done! It looks amazing already.
This is just a STUNNING transformation! It’s crazy to think that this piece started out green (just watched how you fixed the “blushing” video and forgot about it being green). LOVE how you used the different gel stains to get the different colors in your design. Such a great idea to use the gel (vs a liquid permeating stain) when taping, especially such fine lines, bc it sits on top of the wood. Just in awe of your talent!💜
Ugh that had to be frustrating after all your work. But honestly it's like magic watching it disappear with heat! I just encountered the same thing using a Dremel on my chair this week. The drum attachment is great to eat through latex but yeah, it'll gauge if you're not careful. This is seriously cool and I love the gold. Subtle but an just enough sparkle. Another win Marissa!
The staining pattern is so cool! You really did a great job on this piece and the blushing is pretty easy to take care of. We can tell that it'll look wonderful!
The heat gun will be the easiest way. If that doesn't work, you can spray a light coat of lacquer retarder on the surface. It will soften the lacquer and allow it to re-dry slower so it doesn't blush. The blush is caused from the lacquer drying too fast with too much humidity. It traps moisture under the finish. You can also add retarder if you spray another piece to force it to dry slower. The retarder will not affect the final finish, so you can add as much as you need (typically about 10%).
I definitely gotta Up my game and so some geometric lines as I absolutely love how your dressers come out so pretty 🥰👍 can't wait to see if the heat gun works .I'm sure it will be gorgeous and clear
@@TheMissFlips just a tip…if u want to up your wood work game, Johns Furniture Repair, Trena is a mad wood wizard and I’ve learned things I didn’t even know I needed to!
Thank you so much love! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And YES I absolutely love a lot of drawers on my pieces. Kind of like an apothecary vibe! I'm all about it. Thank you so much for watching!
It's beautiful and I'm sure you'll fix that finish, just a little tip I use old cut up t shirts for all stains and wipe on polycrylic then you just throw them away.
a beautiful piece and great tapeing ideas. You missed getting rif of the blue/green paint at the middle bottom draw on the left outside. It really shows when you open the drawer.
This is incredible! I love the time you take to create such beautiful and artistic creations. Hope you either sell this for like 4 digits or keep it for yourself. ❤️ I also bought a carving set a few weeks ago for this exact reason. Definately don't regret it after watching you just easily clear out the details on the drawers 🙂
Amazing work once again...I remain leery of lacker. Love your credit card/sand paper hack, wish I had seen this sooner! Just did a piece that sanded my fingerprints so badly I can’t open my phone, at the moment, without typing in the code😄
Oh my lord this piece is simply gorgeous wow you are so amazing I don't do Instagram please post on yt have to find out if it works when you hit it with the heat gun will be praying for you!!!God Bless you and yours!!!❤
I actually like the paint color... usually when I watch refinishing videos, the paint that is taken off is an atrocious color! That said, I love a good restoration of a wood piece. Great job (as usual) on the deco details! Would you be willing to do a finished piece video on TH-cam? I don’t do the ‘gram and I’d LOVE to see the end result. Cheers!
I for sure will be posting photos here as well as showing it in the video where I tell you how to fix blushing. And I completely agree! I loved the green! But it wasn’t done very well. No top coat and it was a little sloppy and chipping in some places so I decided to take it off. But I do love me some green
Just out of curiosity, when there's paint on the sides of the drawers is it acceptable to keep it that way? I'd remove it but if it's not necessary I'd love to know what you think!!
Sorry, I may have not said it. It usually depends on how thick the paint is. Sometimes I use 60 and sometimes 120 it it’s really thin. Pretty sure this was 60 though
Honestly, it very well could be lol I’m still learning how to identify. If you have any tips, that would be great! I’m also going off the color of the wood when I put water on it. It was really red. Is that a walnut characteristic as well?
I am confused. You started by saying that you start with lower grit sandpaper to remove paint which makes sense since you want to cut through the paint. But then you said that once the paint is splotchy and the majority of the paint is gone from the initial sanding that you switch to an even lower grit(???) to take off the remaining paint. Then you said that once the piece is clear of paint then you switch to your lowest grit of 220. "Low grit" sandpaper is very coarse and "high grit" is less coarse Low grit is actually not LOW in grittiness but means that the grit pieces are larger and therefore, low in population on a square inch of paper. The opposite for high grit. The grit pieces are smaller. Therefore, there is a high amount of grit pieces per square inch on a paper. I just do not want a newbie to ruin a piece thinking that their final sanding is done with the lowest grit.
Hahaha you’re so right! It’s been a long day so my mind jumbled it up. What I meant by “low” was “fine”. I moved to a finer grit. Higher grit number. My bad 🥰
I sometimes do, I sometimes don’t. I try to avoid stripper as often as possible because of the environmental impacts of chemical strippers. When I do use it, I use citrus strip. Hope this clarifies it a little haha
@@TheMissFlips okay, it does. so its up to me if i want to sand or strip. none of these videos are never the same. so im left with more questions . thank you.
Why on God's earth did you spend the time to make this beautiful but not take the time to get the green paint off of the side of the drawer? The next to the bottom one .
It's beautiful and I'm sure you'll fix that finish, just a little tip I use old cut up t shirts for all stains and wipe on polycrylic then you just throw them away.
@@TheMissFlips Hi, Miss Flips, just watch your video, I'm Antique dealer from England and I have been restoring furniture for many years, in your video at the end with your Finnish that went wrong, it's called blooming that is caused my moisture, next time when you spray in damp atmosphere use anti bloom thinners it will slow down the drying time, but will solve the problem hope this help, Antico from England

AHHHH the laquer drying white! NO!!!! This is such a stunning piece. The challenges are so annoying and I feel for ya.
Yeah, it was sad for sure. But the dryer was working pretty well so I can't wait to try the heat gun!
Mija, get your self some foam brushes, they spread the stain real even and after you can simply wipe with a clean rag.
Okay! Good to know! Thank you tio!
I'm sorry you had problems with the finish, it still looked amazing. I can't help seeing the Dead Kennedys logo on the front haha
Ahahaha dammit. Now I’m never gonna unsee that 😂😂😂
Really like ur designs…are u going to get the green paint off the sides of the drawers?
Haha yes. You can go see the finished product in my latest video where I show how to fix the lacquer
Well I guess removing isn’t the right word, but I do get the paint off as much as I can and then I painted the dovetails in gold
