Broken objects
When you break something of value don´t try to glue it together. With some of these super-dooper glues today, you can damage the piece beyond repair. It would be ideal for you to search out the help of a profesional trained and experienced in restoration techniques.

Painting your used furniture
There is paint today suitable for painting over any surface and you really don´t need to sand down to the wood all the time. Most of the time you just need a clean buff surface for perfect adherence and, of course, lots of creativity and patience.

Preserving your furniture´s finish
There are lots of new products on the market for protecting your furniture. If you have valuable antiques in your home, you must be very careful as beautiful finishes often require special treatment. But, in most cases, your motto should become "simplify". Look for traditional products from your childhood memories. They are usually exactly what is needed. There´s really not that much mistery involved in finding great quality. Furniture finishing hasn´t changed all that much for hundreds of years.

Diluting Paint
Latex (PVA) and acryllic and water-based alkyde paints are diluted with water. Oil paints and alkydes are thinned with spirits. Automotive apints and epoxies usually have specific thinner-based solvents recommended on the label.
