    This is truly beautiful. My mom recently died, at 99 years old. I received her hutch, Ethan Allen dining room table and chairs, along with some old, strong, living room furniture. My husband loves all this MCM / Early American furniture, but I'd like to take it into the 21st century. I can only do this if I can do a wonderful job. We have a couple of vintage, very cheap end tables we got at a thrift store. My hope is if I can do a good job with that, he'll agree to let me do the hutch!

    Thank you for the great video! I watched a previous one y’all had posted on the spray lacquer and completed a project based on what I learned from it. I did have one issue that I was curious if y’all could help me figure out what I did wrong so I won’t make the mistake again. I think I know the answer but wanted to check with the experts. When I was spraying the actual lacquer and the final sealer my spray cans kept leaking huge drops of the paint. Of course this became a huge issue that I tried to fix with extra layers to cover the drip marks. I was able to do so for the most part but of course I would like to avoid having to apply extra layers to for that reason. I will say that I did have the piece laying flat on the ground so I may have been spraying at more of an angle than y’all do in this video. But for the piece I was doing it just worked best laying flat on the ground. So, any suggestions to avoid this happening again would be appreciated. One last possible factor, I did this project about a year and a half ago so I was thinking that y’all may have had different spray cans at that time. Maybe y’all changed them after others may have also had this problem. I know y’all change yalls packaging from time to time and I guess I assume it’s because through trial and error that y’all find a better way to dispense/store your product than your original selection. Wondering if y’all have a new better spray can now? Thank you and look forward to hearing back from y’all soon!!

    Here’s a tip you should put out a black lacquer. You’re missing out on the guitar builder market. I spent $25 for a can of black nitrocellulose lacquer for my guitar. You’re missing out on a market

    Hello. Great tutorial! Quick question, in using the spray can laquer on a wood snare drum. Do I start from the top section then go around the entire drum then work my way down similar to this round piece of furniture example? Middle section all the way around then lastly the bottom?Thanks in advance. Steve

    Can you put the lacquer over 1 step paint or does it have to be stained?

    • @amyhowardathome
      @amyhowardathome  Před 2 lety

      Yes, you may lacquer over One Step! Just be sure to clean with Clean Slate first and make sure any prior wax is removed well.

    Should I treat or prep bamboo any differently?

    • @amyhowardathome
      @amyhowardathome  Před 2 lety

      Bamboo has a smooth surface that doesn't hold paint well, so be sure to rough up the surface and apply primer before you add your color.
