Hi all,
These are photos of my first-ever refinish, a Philco 37-670. The original finish was completely shot (crumbling and flaking, 70 percent gone) so this was the only option. I've wanted to learn for a while but have been hesitant; it seems so complicated, with so many nuances. My refinish consisted of stripping, cleaning, filling with Crystalac (poorly, I might add), toning and clear coating with Deft semigloss (about 10 coats, then sanded/tack ragged, then another five). I know it's an amateurish job, but I'm pretty happy with my first effort. Could anyone critique this please and give me some things to concentrate on next time? Thanks!
Ted
