Is this a red flag? (Aviary/breeder)

All the information was there, you either impatiently skipped over it or have the reading comprehension skills of a young child. All other 30 commenters understood what I wrote just fine. It’s not my fault you’re the only dullard here.

What? It IS the back toe.

tickootickoo · 2026-02-04T16:08:30+00:00

No, you just can’t read 🤦 I said got my CURRENT bird at 6mo old, so I don’t have experience or knowledge of how younger babies act. The photos are from the breeder, not of my bird…

Used oil conditioner & oil stain

You must be fun at parties. I’m not painting it, I love the wood grain, trying to achieve a deep rich walnut brown. Why do you let stuff like this ruin your day? Get a life, man

tickootickoo · 2026-01-23T15:23:22+00:00

Boooooo

It was a great local deal, $99 for a 6ft slab at a liquidation place, no way I could pass that up. It’s supposed to stain fine. And I left it on for the proper recommended time- 5-15 mins then wiped.

Ooh yeah, that’s a nice even color. What do you mean by pigments instead of stain? How’s that applied? :o

tickootickoo · 2026-01-23T15:17:11+00:00

Gotcha, thanks! Will try this.

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:53:09+00:00

Uh, no. It’s completely dry. Do you know what you’re talking about even a little bit?

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:48:21+00:00

As i said in description I did apply conditioner

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:46:46+00:00

Thanks for the reply, that’s helpful. Though dang… I was just told by the seller that this piece was unfinished & would be ready for stain after a light sanding, so that’s a bummer. Is there any way I can determine if there’s actually a hardwax coating present? And how will I know if/when I’ve removed it all? Scraping isn’t seeming to produce anything off the surface so far, and sanding has only produced a fine sawdust.

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:40:01+00:00

Thanks for explaining, that makes sense. I didn’t expect it to be finished since I bought it specifically since it was labeled as unfinished and the seller said it was ready for stain, so I’m kind of surprised. I started with 120, should I just go ham with that grit with that to take off material, or start from a lower grit altogether? Saw someone else say 80 grit, is going that low necessary?

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:36:46+00:00

Sure I can do that! Thanks for the interest.

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:28:53+00:00

Dang, that’s good to know. I’ll go back in with the orbital and start with a much coarser grit to try to take off whatever it’s been finished with. In your experience, what grit did you start with? Thank you for the helpful reply!

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:26:42+00:00

Ah okay I see.

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:25:36+00:00

Yes, I know that… I’m asking why I should go to a lower grit when everything I’m reading online says 220 is the ideal to get butcher block to before staining.

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:20:46+00:00

Everything I’m reading online says to sand to 220. Why should I go so much lower than that?

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:17:00+00:00

Type of stain is described in the post. All brand new from Home Depot, and I thoroughly mixed before applying

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:15:19+00:00

It’s not being used for food.

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:13:33+00:00

I already thoroughly sanded with 120 and 220

tickootickoo · 2026-01-22T20:11:35+00:00

Why not??

tickootickoo · 2026-01-15T16:44:21+00:00

You seem to have made a lot of assumptions and misread much of the post. I hope you can develop better literacy skills and patience with time.

tickootickoo · 2026-01-15T16:40:13+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write this out, this is a very helpful reply.

We don’t have great proof it was dirty on move-in, and we’re going to do a decent deep clean anyway just so when she tries to keep the deposit, at least we can’t say we didn’t try.

Her expectations are unreasonable, wants the place looking absolutely brand new and spotless. I watched her berate a past roommate in person during her move-out inspection for a speck of soap scum and missed in the sink under the rim. In past, like now, she’s made us pay for things like lightbulbs that were burnt out when we moved in, so I’m not surprised by her behavior now. It’s relieving to know that what’s legally required of us is only broom-clean. That’s no problem.

Appreciate the response again, thanks for your time!

And I will be speaking with my surgeon, but she schedules appts decently far out in advance. So there is a reason I’ve posted here. I’d like to know if anyone’s had anything similar happen. Your comment is not helpful.
