Not the 1001 then?

Anyone know a place that knows about wood varnishes and lacquers? Our coffee table has seen some damage to the top layer of what Made.com say is a clear lacquer and we need to redo it.

Attached a photo if anyone knows about this stuff as well.

That looks like a nice, brittle lacquer - it should scrape off to a good finish - is the table veneered?

Pass, but we want to keep that colour so I'm looking for the right lacquer to redo the entire thing in really.

I'm a believer in dyeing the wood to the colour you want (with allowance for the change the lacquer/varnish will cause) and then using a clear finish. It always looks better and is easier to repair.

There’s an idea. Black-ish wood stains and a clear lacquer then?

It will generally darken a little when you apply the finish. Maybe try the underside first, if things are similar there?

15 lbs of blackberries picked in 1 1/2 hrs this morning,
that's 5 gallons of wine or 30 bottles, with the 2 gallons
already on the fizz, a total of 42 bottles of blackberry
wine, plus we found a apple tree that's full of fruit nearly
ripe.
Plus the 5 gallons of white currant and gooseberry that's
nearly ready to bottle, it's going to be a very merry winter!

They're early this year

I may be wrong, I usually am, but I believe there are gypsies/pikeys on the long stay by Sainsburys.

Yep I was right, and 1 of them have just damaged the barrier going into Sainsburys with his van, other side is already broken, leaving the car park wide open for abuse.

Not at all mundane, but didn't know where post this.
Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary to @That-Crazy-Rat-Lady

Why am I up? Oh yes, puppies.... I love them really, I just wish they hadn't decided that 6am is poop am. I suppose once my brain is more awake I can get started on some mini quiches for the BBQ that is most likely going to be grilled in the house instead at a friends later.

Looks like it was a quick overnighter, hopefully they're out the county by now.

It has taken this thread slightly less time to get to 1,000 pages than it took to get from JFK saying "We're going to the Moon" to Neil saying "We're there!".
