Umbuzo: Sinethanga lasekwindla njengokuhlobisa etafuleni lethu lokudlela le-maple elinomfanekiso, elimbozwe kuphela ngamafutha e-linseed, esiwasebenzisa njalo. Ithanga lavuza, lashiya ibala. Ingabe ikhona indlela yokususa lokhu?
Impendulo: Kunezindlela eziningana zokususa amabala amnyama okhunini, kodwa kungadingeka uzame izixazululo eziningana ezingaba khona.
Ngokuvamile, amabala amnyama okhunini abangelwa umswakama ohambisana nama-tannins, aqanjwe kanjalo ngenxa yamazinga aphezulu ama-tannins emagxolweni e-oki kanye nokhuni lwe-oki, obekusetshenziselwa ukushisisa isikhumba izinkulungwane zeminyaka. Ama-tannins atholakala nasezithelweni eziningi, imifino kanye nezinye izinto zezitshalo. Kuyi-antioxidant, futhi ucwaningo oluningi lwamanje lugxile emiphumeleni yezempilo yokudla ukudla okune-tannin eningi.
Ama-tannins ayancibilika emanzini. Uma ukhuni lumanziswa bese amanzi ehwamuka, ama-tannins athwalwa aye phezulu, kushiye ama-tannins aqinile. Lokhu kuvame ukuvela emahlathini acebile ngama-tannins njenge-oki, i-walnut, i-cherry kanye ne-mahogany. Ama-maple aphansi ngama-tannins, kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi ama-tannins e-pumpkin sap ahlanganiswe nama-tannins e-maple adale ibala.
Amabala amnyama okhunini angabangelwa yisikhunta, esakheka lapho ukhuni lumanzi futhi kukhona umthombo wokudla wesikhunta, esiwubiza ngokuthi isikhunta noma isikhunta. Ijusi lebhodlela, njenganoma yiziphi izinto eziphilayo, lingasetshenziswa njengomthombo wokudla.
I-oxalic acid isusa amabala e-tannin, kanti i-chlorine bleach isusa amabala esikhunta. I-oxalic acid ifakiwe ku-Bar Keepers Friend Cleaner ($2.99 ​​​​ku-Ace Hardware), kodwa inani le-oxalic acid ebhodweni lingaphansi kwamaphesenti ayi-10, ngokusho kwe-MSDS yomkhiqizi. I-Bar Keepers Friend Gentle Cleanser nayo iqukethe i-oxalic acid, kodwa ngamanani aphansi. Uma ufuna ifomu elingaxutshiwe, funa imikhiqizo efana ne-Savogran Wood Bleach ($12.99 ngebhodwe elingama-ounces angu-12 ku-Ace) endaweni yokupenda.
Kodwa-ke, i-oxalic acid kanye ne-bleach kumele kuthintane nemicu yokhuni ukuze kusebenze kahle. Ngakho-ke, ochwepheshe bokulungisa ifenisha baqale basuse ungqimba olungaphezulu besebenzisa izinyibilikisi noma ukusantinga. Kodwa-ke, kusobala ukuthi ibala liye langena ngandlela thile ku-topcoat, ngakho-ke ungadlulela ezinyathelweni ze-oxalic acid ezingezansi ukuze ubone ukuthi i-oxalic acid eyanele izongena yini ukuze kuncishiswe ibala ngaphandle kokususwa. Iposi elilodwa lewebhu engilitholile libonisa izithombe zesinyathelo ngesinyathelo zendlela yokususa amabala amnyama okhunini ngaphandle kokulisusa: ngokuxuba izingxenye ezimbili ze-Bar Keepers Friend Cleaner nengxenye eyodwa yamanzi ukuze kwenziwe i-paste, ukucwilisa imizuzu embalwa, bese usebenzisa i-paste yengxenye ye-detergent kanye nengxenye ye-detergent. Ingxenye yamanzi. Ekusetshenzisweni kwesibili, umbhali walesi sihloko usebenzise uboya bensimbi obuyi-0000 obuhle kakhulu, kodwa bekuyoba ngcono kakhulu ukusebenzisa iphedi yokwenziwa. Uboya bensimbi bungashiya izingcezu ezimbotsheni zokhuni, futhi ama-tannins angasabela nensimbi, aguqule ukhuni oluseduze lube mnyama.
Uma ukwazi ukusingatha ibala futhi ujabule ngomphumela, kuhle lokho! Kodwa, cishe, ngeke uthole umbala olinganayo. Yingakho ochwepheshe bencoma ukususa i-top coat nokwelapha ibala ngaphambi kokupenda.
Kuma-antique, ama-solvent cishe ayizona izindlela zokususa izinto ezindala njengoba kubalulekile ukuvikela i-patina. UCarol Fiedler Kawaguchi, opholisha izinto zakudala kanye nefenisha ngenkampani yakhe i-C-Saw eBainbridge Island, eWash., uncoma ukusebenzisa isisombululo esinotshwala obungashintshiwe kanye nengxenye ye-lacquer thinner. Ukuze uzivikele entuthwini, sebenza ngaphandle noma nini lapho kungenzeka noma ugqoke i-half-mask respirator ene-organic vapor cartridge. Gqoka amagilavu ​​​​nama-goggles amelana namakhemikhali. Lezi zi-solvent ziyasha ngokushesha, ngakho-ke sebenza ngamaqoqo amancane ngokwanele ukuklwebha noma ukusula indawo enamathelayo ngaphambi kokuba iqine.
Noma, uKawaguchi uthi, ungasebenzisa i-Citristrip Safer Paint kanye ne-Varnish Remover Gel ($15.98 ngetha e-The Home Depot). Lo mshini wokusula izinwele awunaphunga elibi, uhlala umanzi futhi usebenza amahora amaningi, futhi unelebula eliphephile ukusetshenziswa endlini. Kodwa-ke, njengoba umbhalo omncane kulebula ubonisa, qinisekisa ukuthi umoya ungena kahle futhi ugqoke amagilavu ​​​​nezibuko ezingamelana namakhemikhali.
Uma ufuna ukugwema ukususwa kwamakhemikhali, ukuhlikihla ngesando kungenye indlela engaba yinhle kakhulu kumaphrojekthi angabandakanyi izinto zakudala futhi anezindawo ezisicaba ezingenakho ukuma okuyinkimbinkimbi okwenza ukuhlikihla kube nzima. Sebenzisa i-orbital sander engahleliwe, njenge-DeWalt Corded 5-Inch Sander ene-Velcro Attachment ($69.99 ku-Ace). Thenga iphakethe le-medium-grit sander ($11.99 ngama-Diablo brand sanding pads angu-15) kanye okungenani namaphepha ambalwa e-fine-grit sandpaper (220 grit). Uma kungenzeka, susa itafula ngaphandle noma ungene egaraji ukuze ugweme ama-wood chips alele nxazonke. Qala ngephepha eliphakathi nendawo. Amafutha e-flaxseed asabela nomoya-mpilo emoyeni ukuze adale i-coating efana nepulasitiki. Lokhu kusabela kwenzeka ngokushesha ekuqaleni bese kunciphisa ijubane eminyakeni eminingana. Kuye ngokuthi i-coating iqine kangakanani, ingahlikihla ngesando kalula. Ngaphandle kwalokho, ama-oil beads amancane angakheka ephepheni lesando, anciphise ukusebenza kwayo. Hlola iphepha lesando njalo bese ulishintsha uma kudingeka.
Uma ususele nokhuni olungenalutho, ungalungisa ibala. Zama i-oxalic acid kuqala. Ilebula le-Savogran lithi hlanganisa sonke isitsha esingama-ounces angu-12 nelitha elilodwa lamanzi ashisayo, kodwa ungalinciphisa bese uxuba ingxenye yesine yokuqukethwe nelitha elilodwa lamanzi ashisayo. Sebenzisa ibhulashi ukufaka ikhambi etafuleni lonke, hhayi nje ibala. Linda kuze kube yilapho ukhuni lukhanya ngendlela othanda ngayo. Bese usula izikhathi eziningana ngendwangu ehlanzekile, emanzi ukuze ugeze ubuso. Isazi sokuhlanza uJeff Jewitt encwadini yakhe ethi Furniture Restoration Made Easy sithi izicelo eziningana ezinesikhathi sokumisa samahora amaningana zingadingeka ukuze kususwe ibala.
Uma i-oxalic acid ingasusi ibala, zama ukufaka i-chlorine bleach ebaleni bese ulishiya ubusuku bonke. Uma umbala usukhanye kancane kodwa unganele, phinda inqubo izikhathi eziningana, kodwa mhlawumbe usuku lonke ukuze uhlole njalo futhi uqede ukwelashwa ngaphambi kokuba ukhuni luphenduke umbala kakhulu. Ekugcineni, lungisa bese uhlanza ngengxenye eyodwa yeviniga emhlophe kanye nezingxenye ezimbili zamanzi.
Uma ibala liqhubeka, unezinketho ezintathu: Shayela umlungisi ochwepheshe; i-bleach enamandla iyatholakala kodwa kunzima ukuyithola. Ungayifaka futhi kuze kube yilapho ibala seliphelile noma okungenani likhanye ngokwanele ukuthi lingakuphazamisi. Noma uhlele ukusebenzisa isici esiyinhloko njengezinto ezivamile etafuleni lokudlela.
Uma usebenzise i-oxalic acid noma i-bleach, uma ukhuni selomile, kuzodingeka lufakwe isihlabathi esincane ukuze kususwe noma yimiphi imicu ephakanyiswe ngamanzi. Uma ungadingi isihlabathi sokusika futhi ungenayo isihlabathi sokusika, ungakwenza ngesandla usebenzisa iphepha lesihlabathi elingu-220. Uma lonke uthuli lwesihlabathi selususiwe, ungaluthinta nge-linseed oil noma okunye.
