Area 51 is temporarily closed! 

Translation - chillies have been evicted from the dining room. Apparently they’re creating to much humidity for his table finish ( osmo ) to cure. Just as well he’s getting paid well for finishing tables. He better hurry up, he’s Upsetting my chillies!

I can picture it - a Duel between you with the hottest chilli you can find and Bob with his paintbrush.
Wonder who'd win? Wink

I’m not sure that needs an answer    Big Grin . 

There’s a 99% chance he’d fully recover  Wink .

Possibly. It’s really not that exciting. He’s just re-finishing the tops on 8 tables from a restaurant. Just to smarten them up again hopefully for re-opening at some point.

Oh, can he describe how you DIY it? I have a lovely table...it was bought second hand about 15years ago. They had varnished it but it hasn't coped that well with 2 kids. Would like to give it a revamp. Maybe redo the do top and paint over the legs? Any tips?

Hi Scarlett
In simple terms you take the old finish off, sand  to get the required surface and then apply the new finish. Sounds easy ?
As yours is varnished you will probably be best to use a chemical stripper to remove the old stuff, you may have to sand the odd spot to get it all off. Then get a random orbital sander and sand back to the surface you want, 120 grit is probably fine enough for a table but you may need to start with a rougher grit (lower number) . Take care if the table is veneered as you can easily sand right through it, if the table is solid wood then you don't have to worry about this. Sanding and preparation is by far the most important part of the whole job, you can't get a good end result if you skimp on the prep.
Then move onto applying the finish, follow the instructions on your chosen product. I really like osmo poly X for indoor furniture, apply in thin layers and make sure it has time to set between coats......oh and remove the chillies before you start ??

Bob you are a super star! There's a table full of seeds and tomatoes on there at the moment!
I want it to look slick for my new kitchen. Smile
