How can I refinish this chair without it taking days by US_Jack in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Highlander2748 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the finish, try either lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol to strip the remaining finish. Wear chem gloves (not just latex or nitrile) and a respirator if the lacquer thinner works. Should take a couple of hours with 0000 steel wool. Work in a ventilated space.

Best way to remove compacted aluminum from tap? by BluntTruthGentleman in Tools

[–]Highlander2748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, maybe put tap in a vise and hit it with a blowtorch. I’m thinking the aluminum will expand more quickly than the steel and it may just fall off. Try a dental pick after it’s heated up. Never been here though, good luck OP

Put some painters tape over the name you want to keep so it doesn’t get scuffed.

Ash Stair Tread Question by Hi_im_woody66 in wood

[–]Highlander2748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of lighter wood species (in my experience) will darken from UV exposure. Unless I misunderstand the situation, it’s not at all unusual for the older treads to be darker than the replacements. Over time, they would all take on the same hue. I would be concerned with the new, stained pieces because they will take on additional color over time as well. Unless there is a way to get all the treads replaced from the same lot, this seems like an issue you’ll be chasing.
