<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluemoon, post: 189106, member: 1296&quot;]I decided to lacquer the frame because it had lost some of its shine. I applied shellac on it and noticed that it had some pretty ugly scratches that had become more visible now. I stripped some of the shellac off and sanded the scratches out. I stained the sanded parts with brown furniture wax. I applied a new layer or shellac after sanding the whole thing with steel wool.</p><p>I just couldn&#039;t get the shellac evenly applied. There were brushstrokes visible, etc. and the sanded parts had a different colour and texture. So I sanded most of the lacquer off (and accidentally some of the stain) and applied a coat of brown furniture wax.</p><p>Now the frame is all kinds of f*cked-up and has the horrible wax coat that I hate. When the light reflects on it, there&#039;s nothing else visible except the rubbery-looking wax coat (which is also uneven).</p><p>I just hate myself for not managing to restore anything properly. Suggestions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
