Edit
This is simply what I wanted for Christmas.
We bought our menage inward Jan in addition to accept done thence much operate renovating it.
Check out these posts for to a greater extent than fun.
Anyway, the front end door was amazing but inward terrible shape.
The varnish was crusty in addition to sharp.
There were big gashes from domestic dog claws.
There was fading in addition to chipping...ugly distressed.
The door is awesome in addition to I knew I didn't desire to pigment it...but it needed help.
I honey the Medusa Knocker in addition to the lilliputian wrought Fe drinking glass window!
It's thence cool in addition to gives the menage thence much character.
I went off to a Calligraphy conpendium for a 24-hour interval of lettering in addition to crafting amongst my daughter.
And my hubby in addition to boys laid off to print us amongst their skills.
They took the door off the hinges...removed the knocker, knobs, etc in addition to laid off to work.
They used pigment in addition to epoxy remover, a grinder in addition to lots of elbow grease.
Painting the stripper all over the door inward a sparse layer.
And thence scraping the solution off afterwards it sets for thirty minutes or so.
The weather condition was surprisingly squeamish through November, thence working outdoors was no problem.
After scraping in addition to cleaning off the pigment remover, they deployed the grinder for to a greater extent than or less faster action.
Lots of operate in addition to care.
After it was distressed to a natural wood,
they used a lilliputian forest stain to process the grooves.
Then went over the entire door amongst H2O based polyurethane.
Water based is amazing. It doesn't stink. It dries clear.
It dries fast...and it's slow to construct clean out brushes.
After it dried completely, they pose medusa dorsum on in addition to hung it inward place.
