yes it does temporarily. I sanded the area again w. 220 and re-appliesd some BLo-it;s better,but not gone. Interesting that the spots are at the same place on the slats. the slats were all cut from...
here is a pic..this spot is exaggerated in intensity because of the camera flas and flourescent shop lights--not as visible in "family room" lighting. Thanks-Larry

I applied BLO on walnut sanded to 220. Waited between 25 and 30 minutes and rubbed off excess. It has been about 18 hours. 98% of surface looks really nice, but there are about 2 or 3 areas (about...
Sorry about that...should have thought that would be important. Dye stains, Shellac, Varnish, and an occasional urethane or poly product. Rarely if ever will Ibe using paints. and probably not...

A whole pot of fresh hot coffee spilled down the front of solid cherry drawers. Not discovered for an hour. (auto coffee maker mal-functioned). Now I have large "white" stains on the drawer fronts....
Are these specials just for one day or am I doing something wrong? I went to the link and the 50" was advertised for $42 and didn't see anything about the free 24. Not the first time this has...
They are Soss hinges. They came without an instruction sheet, but the web site you gave me had a the CAD drawing instruction page. Much Thanks. Larry
I've never installed a barrel hinge before-the kind where a hole is drilled and the hinge is dropped into it and a small set screw is tightened to keep it in place.
There were no instructions and...
When I went to the site, the 50" clamp was listed at $37.94--but there was a promotion to buy any 2 clamps and get a 24" clamp free. Is there another place where the $26.35 price is listed? coupon...
There is a Porter Cable Store in North Kansas City, MO --1141 Swift St. phone is 816-221-2070. It is a really small store but carries both new and refurbished tools. I would call them first. It...
Larry--I replied to this a couple days ago, but can't find the post here it's long--you can find it by searching for my post under the "support forum" on "timing of response" Larry
thanks. just wondering. didn't want him to think there isn't anything to do in KC. (except watch the Royals lose...again) Larry
This is is probably a dumb question. How long does it take for a response to be posted to the topic? I sent one this morning to a post wanting info on what to do in KC and I can't seem to find it in...
The Negro League BAseball Museum is cool at 18th and Vine. One block west is the Peachtree Restaurant- pricy, but excellent- 5 minutes and 4 blocks away is Arthur Bryants BBQ Restaurant--featured...

You probably will need to sand all the way down, which will be fun when you get to those panels--any power sander may "round over" to edges of the panel--be careful--probably use a block and take...
I have been told to NEVER put any oil based finish, especially poly(which is a varnish) or laquer on the INSIDE of a chest that will store clothes. The closed lid, and the nature of the finish will...

Thanks gentlemen- the ply was not from the clearance bin-$50.00 a sheet- I don't have one of the digital cameras,but I'll try to get a pic and post.
Yes, it looks like glue seep thru- creamy to...
Thanks guys--I'll be patient. Larry
A friend made a blanket chest using 3/16" walnut plywood for the panels. He glued 2 pieces back to back to obtain a 3/8" panel finished on both sides. (in accord with a published plan--the panels...
