Piano Lid Coffee Table

Step 2Cleaning The Piano Lid

Cleaning The Piano Lid
I have to clean up the piano lid. You can see that there are scratches an it is in need of refinishing.

I apply the stripper as directed on the can. Put what you plan on using in a metal can, then apply it to the table top and brush it on in the direction of the wood grain. Let it stand for 15 minutes then use the plastic scraper tool in the direction of the wood grain to remove the thicker build up. If you use a metal scraper you may scratch the wood. Once you have the goopy nasty stuff mostly removed then use the mineral spirits to wipe the excess stripper off.

Once this is done check to make sure the wood is stripped to your liking.

I repeated this again after the first time to get every thing off.

Once I did this the second time I then sand the lid with a light grade sand paper an wipped it clean with a damp rag.
