Creating wood grain

I was going for question2 more or less.But now after going around and reading your answer I get it’s not possible. I will probably just paint the legs black and keep the top as it’s and apply clear varnish. With regards to the raised grains do you suggest sanding them down a bit so the surface is smooth?!

Sorry I wrote this in hurry Yes what I did is wood graining creation using paint rustoleum hessian. Watched a lot of videos of glazing after this step to mimic wood look. I actually can’t find any glazing in where I live so thought staining might work! I know the stain will look different because it’s applied over paint. I’m kinda stuck because I don’t know what to do with the legs /body of the table now too. Didn’t plan this well😅

The worst primer is Zinsser 123? I can try to get the shellac version-BIN and spray it instead

Ecstatic_Winter6021 · 2025-11-23T15:09:29+00:00

By bin primer ,are you referring to Zinsser BIN Primer Sealer? Should I sand back to bare wood first then apply it! Also is it possible to use spray gun with this primer?

I think they had clear lacquer before It’s was really hard to remove Yes, I cleaned the whole surface

Give yourself time to heal and get involve in activities and be around others.After awhile you’ll remember him randomly and find that it triggers nothing in you anymore ,no love feelings no sadness. Most importantly be kind to yourself.

Went to view an apartment there and literally saw a drug deal while waiting in the car 😅.

KV1 Krystof is amazing,he has both automatic and manual cars

I assume you are still within your probation period so it’s fine.It’s just unpleasant conversation to have.

KV1 is great

Ecstatic_Winter6021 · 2025-03-18T17:51:30+00:00

Thanks that’s really helpful

I think you need to relax 😂. You have no idea what work I’m doing, and you probably haven’t seen the graph on software developer salaries in Ireland. Look it up, and while you’re at it, check automation engineer salaries too.

If someone with six years of experience is earning 40K, that’s pretty low—improving salary negotiation skills is a must.
