First post of the year for me and now I've gone full time into the biz. Out of the restaurant biz for good.
Anyway, I took a job that has turned out to keep me up at night. Have resorted to counting sheep until I get to the one that looks like an Ambien, then I just swallow it! lol.
They had said it was acrylic latex paint on there now.They wanted to go with a semi-solid,so they could see some grain. Ok, no big deal. But getting into the job, found that it was actually acrylic stain. As you can see in one pic it penetrated deep into the wood and left dark gray areas everywhere.
I ended up having to make an NaOH mix so "hot" that it was just about boiling! Still had to hit it hard with the gun. Now I am left with literally about a million pieces of latex everywhere, and a whole lot of sanding ahead of me. Keep you updated. Mike
