--Previous Message-- : : Without knowing which Formby product you : used, I'm at a disadvantage, but your : desciption sounds like the result of using : a product called "Refinisher" : which is also made by a number of other : companies. : It is a very strong solvent and, on antiques, : it is a stripper. : If you want to clean the 'crap' off old : furniture and still retain the patina, : there is only one product to use ....Wood : Elixir. I'm not saying that because I make : it, I'm saying that because it is true. : The answer now is to treat the remaining : pieces with Wood Elixir to gain the : results you wish and then replicate that : result on the 'over done' piece. That part : can't be done with Wood Elixir alone, but : when you're ready and upon your request, : I'll tell you how to do it. : (It's a longer process but you can do it) : --Previous Message-- : My husband used a Formby product on an : antique : chair which is part of a set of 4 with a : drop leaf table. I had expressed the : desire to "clean up" the set : & rewax it, as it (especially the : table legs)are nearly black with grime : & build up over years. I wanted to do : this without removing the patina. My : husband found a product which claimed to : do this & used it on one chair. Oops! : The product removed dirt, grime, old wax, : some of the finish, & nearly all of : that beautiful old patina that makes : antiques so valuable. Now we know what : NOT to do on the rest of the chairs & : table, but is there anything to be done : with the first chair on which he already : worked. The original stain was removed on : some of the chair edges & revealed : scratches on the chair legs. : : :
