Alisha asked:


I refinished several pieces of furniture, but Im worried about it getting scratched and causing it to peel. I sanded, used primer and two coats of high quality latex paint. Just wondering if there is anything to keep it from getting to scratched or peeling

Why is the paint peeling off of the furniture I just refinished?

Saturday, December 27th, 2008
A Designer asked:


The chairs and table have the paint peeling off like the skin from a sunburn. (And yes, I stripped it, sanded it, primed it). I did the EXACT same thing on a different project last month, and the finish turned out rock solid and beautiful on THAT one. The only difference between the two projects was the paint brand.

So, is it the humidity? Crappy paint?….
Also, yes, I wiped it down between each coat to get rid of dust/dirt…
Wow! What GREAT answers so far! One more thing: when I tried to sand the paint between applications (to get a nice smooth finish), the paint acted as if it was rubbery, mucking up my sandpaper. That didn’t happen with the other paint (both paints were satin finish latex paints that were painted over a primer that was suitable for wood). So, IMHO, the paint isn’t even acting like (what I think is) latex paint……

What’s a good finish for rough 2X4 lumber? I built some furniture with 2X4 lumber, the cheap kind from homedep

mistersmallpants asked:


I built some furniture with cheap 2X4 lumber. the ones with lots of splinters. Is there a good way to seal them? Varnish? Polyurethane? Good old latex paint? Water based paint? I would prefer a clear finish but whatever would make it smoother and not give splinters?

Thanks for any help!
