U: Sine-autumn squash njengokuhlobisa etafuleni lethu lokudlela elinomumo we-maple, eliqediwe kuphela ngamafutha e-linseed, esiwasebenzisa njalo. Ithanga lavuza futhi lashiya ibala. Ingabe ikhona indlela yokulisusa?
A: Kunezindlela eziningana zokususa amabala amnyama okhunini, kodwa kungadingeka uzame izixazululo eziningana ezingaba khona.
Ngokuvamile, amabala amnyama okhunini abangelwa ukusabela komswakama nama-tannins, athola igama lawo ezintweni ezitholakala emagxolweni e-oki kanye nokhuni lwe-oki futhi asetshenziswe ukushisisa isikhumba izinkulungwane zeminyaka. Ama-tannins atholakala nasezithelweni eziningi, imifino, nezinye izinto zezitshalo. Kuyi-antioxidant futhi izifundo eziningi okwamanje zigxile emiphumeleni yezempilo yokudla ukudla okucebile nge-tannin.
Ama-tannins ayancibilika emanzini. Njengoba ukhuni lumanzi futhi amanzi ehwamuka, aletha ama-tannins endaweni lapho kuhlala khona ama-tannins aqoqekile. Lokhu kwenzeka kaningi ngezinkuni ezicebile ngama-tannins njenge-oki, i-walnut, i-cherry, kanye ne-mahogany. I-Maple iqukethe ama-tannins ambalwa, kodwa ama-tannins kujusi wethanga kungenzeka ukuthi ahlangene nama-tannins ku-maple ukudala ibala.
Amabala amnyama okhunini angabangelwa yisikhunta, esakheka lapho ukhuni lumanzi futhi luwumthombo wokudla wesikhunta esaziwa ngokuthi isikhunta noma isikhunta. Njenganoma yiziphi izinto eziphilayo, ijusi lethanga lingasetshenziswa njengomthombo wokudla.
I-oxalic acid isusa amabala e-tannin kanti i-chlorine bleach isusa amabala esikhunta. I-oxalic acid iyisithako ku-Bar Keepers Friend Cleaner ($2.99 ​​​​ku-Ace Hardware), kodwa yakha ngaphansi kwamaphesenti ayi-10 ezithako zethini, ngokusho kweshidi ledatha lokuphepha lomenzi. I-oxalic acid itholakala futhi ku-Bar Keepers Friend detergent ethambile, kodwa ngenani eliphansi. Ukuze uthole ifomu elingaxutshiwe, funa imikhiqizo efana ne-Savogran Wood Bleach ($12.99 yebhavu le-Ace elingama-ounces angu-12) endaweni yokupenda.
Kodwa-ke, i-oxalic acid kanye ne-bleach kumele kuthintane nemicu yokhuni ukuze kusebenze. Ngakho-ke, abalungisi befenisha baqale basuse isiphetho ngezithako zokwenza izinto noma ngokusila. Kodwa-ke, kusobala ukuthi ibala liye langena ngandlela thile esiphethweni, ngakho-ke ungagxumela ngokushesha esicongweni se-oxalic acid ngezansi ukuze ubone ukuthi i-oxalic acid eyanele ingenile yini ukuze kuncishiswe ibala ngaphandle kokususwa. Iposi lewebhu engilitholile libonise izithombe zesinyathelo ngesinyathelo zebala elimnyama lisuswa okhunini ngaphandle kokususwa ngenhlanganisela yezingxenye ezimbili ze-Bar Keepers Friend cleaner kanye nengxenye eyodwa yamanzi imizuzu embalwa, bese kuba yi-cleaner ingxenye kanye nengxenye yamanzi. Umbhali walesi sihloko usebenzise uboya bensimbi obuncane obungu-0000 ukuze kusetshenziswe okwesibili, kodwa kungaba ngcono ukusebenzisa iphedi yokwenziwa. Uboya bensimbi buzoshiya izingcezu ezimbotsheni zokhuni, futhi ama-tannins azosabela nensimbi, enze ukhuni oluseduze lube mnyama.
Uma ukwazi ukusingatha ibala futhi ujabule ngomphumela, kuhle kakhulu! Kodwa-ke, kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi ngeke ukwazi ukuthola umbala ofanayo. Yingakho ochwepheshe bencoma ukuthi uqale ususe isiphetho, uphathe ibala, bese ulilungisa kabusha.
I-Thinner cishe iyindlela engcono kakhulu yokususa izinto zakudala ngoba i-patina yezinto zakudala ibalulekile. UCarol Fiedler Kawaguchi, olungisa izinto zakudala kanye nefenisha ngenkampani yakhe eseBainbridge Island, eWashington, i-C-Saw, utusa ukusebenzisa isisombululo se-half denatured alcohol kanye ne-half lacquer thinner. Ukuze uzivikele entuthwini, sebenza ngaphandle uma kungenzeka noma ugqoke i-half-mask ene-organic vapor filter. Gqoka amagilavu ​​​​nezibuko ezingamelana namakhemikhali. Lezi zinyibilikisi ziyasha ngokushesha, ngakho-ke sebenza ezindaweni ezincane ukuze ukhuhle noma unciphise ukuqeda okunamathelayo ngaphambi kokuba kuqine.
Noma, uKawaguchi uthi, ungasebenzisa i-Citristrip Safer Paint kanye ne-Varnish Striping Gel ($15.98 ilitha e-Home Depot). Le stripper ayinaphunga, ihlala imanzi futhi isebenza amahora amaningi, futhi ilebula liphephile ukusetshenziswa endlini. Kodwa-ke, njengoba ubona ephepheni elincane elebula, qinisekisa ukuthi umoya ungena kahle futhi ugqoke amagilavu ​​​​nezibuko ezingamelana namakhemikhali.
Uma ufuna ukugwema ukususa amakhemikhali, ukuhlikihla ngesando kungenye indlela – lokhu kungaba kuhle kakhulu kumaphrojekthi angabandakanyi izinto zakudala futhi anomphezulu oyisicaba ngaphandle kokuqopha okuyinkimbinkimbi okungenza ukuhlikihla ngesando kube nzima. Sebenzisa i-orbital sander engahleliwe njenge-5″ DeWalt Corded Hook & Loop Sander ($69.99 ku-Ace). Thenga iphakethe le-medium grit sander ($11.99 ngamasondo angu-15 e-Diablo sanding) kanye namaphepha ambalwa e-sandpaper enhle (220 grit). Uma kungenzeka, susa itafula ngaphandle noma ungene egaraji ukuze ama-chips ezinkuni angangeni yonke indawo. Qala nge-medium sandpaper. Amafutha e-linseed asabela nomoya-mpilo osemoyeni ukuze akhe ubuso bepulasitiki. Lokhu kusabela kwenzeka ngokushesha ekuqaleni, bese kunciphisa ijubane futhi kuhlale iminyaka. Kuye ngokuthi ukuphela kunzima kangakanani, ungahlikihla ngesando kalula. Noma, ithonsi elincane lezinto ezinamafutha lingakheka ephepheni lesando, okuzonciphisa ukusebenza kwalo. Hlola iphepha lesando njalo bese ulishintsha njengoba kudingeka.
Uma ususele nokhuni olungenalutho, ungalungisa ibala. Zama i-oxalic acid kuqala. Ilebula le-Savogran lithi hlanganisa isitsha sonke esingama-ounces angu-12 nelitha elilodwa lamanzi ashisayo, kodwa ungasondeza bese uxuba ingxenye yesine yokuqukethwe nelitha elilodwa lamanzi ashisayo. Sebenzisa ibhulashi ukusabalalisa ikhambi kuyo yonke ikhawuntara, hhayi ibala nje kuphela. Linda kuze kube yilapho ukhuni selukhanya ngendlela othanda ngayo. Bese usula izikhathi eziningana ngendwangu ehlanzekile, emanzi ukuze ugeze ubuso. Isazi sokulungisa ubuso uJeff Jewitt uthi encwadini yakhe ethi Making Furniture Refinishing Easy ukuthi ukususa amabala kungadinga ukwelashwa okuningi ngamahora amaningana okomisa phakathi.
Uma i-oxalic acid ingasusi ibala, zama ukufaka i-chlorine bleach ebaleni bese ushiya ubusuku bonke. Uma umbala usuphelile kancane, kodwa unganele, phinda inqubo izikhathi eziningana, kodwa mhlawumbe usuku lonke ukuze ukwazi ukuhlola njalo futhi uqede ukwelashwa ngaphambi kokuba ukhuni luphenduke umbala kakhulu. Ekugcineni, lungisa bese ugeza ngengxenye eyodwa yeviniga emhlophe kanye nezingxenye ezimbili zamanzi.
Uma ibala linganyamalali, unezinketho ezintathu: shayela umdwebi ochwepheshe; kunezinhlayiya eziqinile, kodwa azitholakali njalo. Ungaphinde uzihlanze kuze kube yilapho ibala seliphelile, noma okungenani ukhanyise ngokwanele ukuthi lingakuphazamisi. Noma uhlele ukusebenzisa ingxenye ephakathi njengendawo yokubeka etafuleni.
Uma usebenzise i-oxalic acid noma i-bleach, ngemva kokuba ukhuni selomile, kuzodingeka ukuhlikihla okokugcina nge-grit sanding elula, ecolekile ukuze kususwe imicu entante phezu kwamanzi ngenxa yokuxhumana kwamanzi. Uma ungadingi i-sander ukuze uyihlanze futhi ungenayo, ungayenza ngesandla nge-sandpaper engu-220 grit. Susa lonke uthuli lokuhlikihla, bese uthinta i-linseed oil noma yini.
