[QUOTE="Auzivision, post: 262402, member: 7768"] As part of this project I want to learn how to refinish old wood; hopefully graduate to a couple antiques we have inside someday. Lesson number one, epoxy is good stuff but doesn’t stain well. Brown magic markers helped, but the label says best if color is added to putty before hardening. Never was one to read directions first… that’s boring. Anyhow, I say C+/B- on the first attempt… Note epoxy not taking stain: [img]https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb240/auzivision/Spring2012760.jpg[/img] Brown ‘furniture’ markers came in handy (little bit red): [img]https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb240/auzivision/Spring2012761.jpg[/img] Finished product not too bad: [img]https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb240/auzivision/BoatProject002.jpg[/img] Next up are the benches.
