Been busy busy busy. I don't remember much of Saturday, but certainly I spent it productively.
I spent about 6 hours in the garage yesterday working on that damned piano.
I've gone from stinky, eye-watering paint stripper, to a heat gun, to goopy peach-colored paint stripper that smells like oranges.
How close to completion am I? Well, the paint is almost gone. If I can get out there one evening this week I can get that cleaned up once and for all. Then the sanding begins. I'm sort of dreading that because there are so many nooks and crannies to get your hands cramped up in. That's one of the reasons the actual paint removal is taking so long, but anyway.
I did a test stain on the bench with the black I bought. Looks good. I like it. Now I just have to decide if I want a glossy overcoat or something satin.
And in case you're keeping track on that bet, no the floors haven't cured yet.
