Best Furniture Refinishing Antique Kits

Product Description

In 1969, Douglas G. Howard set out to solve this dilemma: how can you eliminate blemishes in wood finishes and restore the original color and luster without removing any of the existing finish? Unable to find an answer at his local hardware store, he went to work in his garage to create his own product. His goal was to make something that would be much more than a surface treatment, yet nothing like a stripper or a refinisher. The key was to develop a formula that could clean and polish the surface, penetrate the finish with stain, and leave the original finish intact. The end result was Restor-A-Finish, Doug Howard’s first in what would become a complete line of wood care products. For over 40 years, Howard’s Restor-A-Finish has been a standard in the antique industry. Because Restor-A-Finish preserves the original wood finish it also helps preserve its authenticity and value, whereas stripping the finish may literally strip the piece of its value. Almost any existing wood tone, from a Birdseye Maple to a Jacobean, can be closely matched using one of the nine available finish colors. Trying it on just about everything with a traditional wood finish, antique dealers, refinishers, and homemakers have found it to be a safer and easier alternative to stripping and refinishing. Scratches, oxidation, white heat rings, watermarks, smoke damage, and sun fade simply disappear.

DIRECTIONS 1. Apply WOOD FOOD OIL liberally with a soft, clean cloth and, allow to set overnight. 2. With a slightly damp cloth, wipe off any excess and then dry wipe. Do this at least twice a year, (before the heat is turned on and after the heat is turned off.) — ANTIQUE WOOD CARE: Initially, apply WOOD FOOD OIL liberally at least twice in a one month period (daily is even better). Cracks, checks and warps will gradually disappear. Allow one day for each year of age for this to happen. A little goes a long way! — OFF LABEL USES: Conrad’s is also amazing on metal and wrought iron outdoor furniture. Just wipe it on and furniture is brought back to life.
