BillyJack Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 My boys girlfriend once lived with us and like to put the wrag over er r the countertop edge and eventually ate at the polyurethane. I used early American stain and poly.Hopefully I can get it resealed. I'll have to sand the brown from being wet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted July 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 I got a problem with the insides of the sink area as well. Overtime the moisture heats at the lacquer. Buddy of mine said hit it with spray lacquer. It's time for maintenance I guess.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted July 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 I little sanding with some 120 to break any peeling spots and a little stain. When I stain I let it sit wet till it gets gummy and gives me a chance to work the color depth I want. With Miniwax you really want it to let it sit and penetrate before you wipe off. This is common mistake with Miniwax users 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted July 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 The stain matching is easy. I used S&W polyurethane which they no longer make.ill try Miniwax fast dry.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Does that spray poly have much smell? I need to do similar repairs, but my wife is very sensitive to odors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to do similar repairs, but my wife is very sensitive to odors. I think it does when I have used it. I switched from Minwax to Deft and while I prefer the finish its even worse for smell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted July 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 It does smell and the wife is home on Wednesdays, so I'll tape and spray Thursday morning after she leaves and before I go fishing. According to the can my fishing may be spoiled as it needs be resprayed in two hours or wait 72hrs for the next coat. Maybe I'll just fish Friday only.lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted July 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 After a little time I'm impressed with the Miniwax can spray. The older finish is I belive a semi gloss and I'm much happier with the finish on the repair. I belive I'll tape off and spray the entire wood edge.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 My Wife did the ones in a rental house. They had caked on gunk. She tried everything to clean them with, and finally settled on Krud Kutter. She just touched them up with Restore-A-Finish. I didn't bother to take in all the details.

BillyJack Posted August 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Lacquer will usually reactivate. It's one of those jobs it's hit or miss. I use to new and not refinish. I assume I can hit it with 320 grit and tape and spray... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbantropp Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 It sounds like you're going to have quite a project on your hands! Sanding and resealing your countertop can be a tricky process. Still, the material used for quartz countertops must be generally durable, so hopefully, with a little elbow grease, you'll be able to get it looking as good as new. When it comes to sanding, you'll want to make sure you use fine-grit sandpaper, so you don't damage the countertop. You'll also want to be sure to wipe away any dust after sanding so that it doesn't get trapped under the sealant. As for the resealing, you'll want to use a polyurethane sealant that is specifically designed for countertops. This will help to protect the countertop and make it easier to clean. You can read more about making quartz countertops, and hopefully, this information will be helpful. Good luck with your project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
