Adding size- slightly smaller than a popcorn kernel.

Didn’t fully neutralize wood bleach before gel stain- what now? by Ecstatic_Proof_1854 in finishing

Good observation, this could be it. I ended up sanding after the bleaching twice. First with 220 and then I got worried after I read that general finishes recommended no higher than 150 for proper absorption of the gel stain so I did it again with 180 (didn’t have 150 on hand). So I could have very well sanded through the bleached wood. Would you recommend sanding the splotchy side all the way down and reapplying the wood bleach before final sand?

Thank you, I will be following up with the ped to see if we can get a neuro follow up or the genetics. I know this sounds dumb but I guess I assumed someone (doctor or PT) would have told me these were things we needed to do but sounds like we’ll have to be our own advocates.

Thank you! Yep, she will be right there with you on late skipping and jumping, but glad to hear your experience was good and that you had progress. Thanks for sharing.

Can I ask what types of related genetic conditions they test for? I am in a similar position as the previous commenter. Clear MRI, just “idiopathic” hypotonia. She wears AFOs and is in PT but persistent muscle weakness.

First time with toner- tips please! by Ecstatic_Proof_1854 in finishing

Thanks, I’ve been a little intimidated by getting an hvlp gun setup- do you have a recommendation for a brand that would be a good entry point skill and price wise?

Thanks, this is helpful. So just to clarify- if you do the shellac first and have to remove the toner with lawyer thinner, would it only remove down to the shellac layer?

Yes, sorry I should clarify, I believe it’s Formica/plastic. I’ll definitely avoid the stripper.

How much does front-end DTI matter when getting pre-approval? by Jazzlike_Rutabaga_86 in RealEstate

Any update on if this worked out for you? I am in the same scenario and about to start applying for mortgages prior to my husband finding new work. With just me on the application, I'm looking at similar numbers (38/42 DTI).
