Question
I have some Oak cabiets that were smoked damaged in a fire. I would like to know how to get the black spots off cabiets so I can redo them

Answer
Hi again George.
Forgot to mention you apply the bleach after the finish is off, but you probably know that.
Thanks for the great ratings too.
Regards
Eileen
Hi George
Nice to hear fromm you.
Wood bleach should do the trick.
Its available at the hardware.
It comes in two bottles which you mix together when you use it.
Pretty powerful stuff so follow the directions.
Hope this helps
Regards

Hi..I can answer most questions about the repairing,stripping and refinishing of all your old furniture and wood items(the things we call antiques)I can give advice about what to buy/avoid at auctions/flea markets. I do not give appraisals on antiques.

Experience

I have been refinishing antiques for the past 30yrs. While I have taken several courses over the years,I have found that "hands on" learning is the best teacher. Perhaps I can help you avoid some of the mistakes I made while learning.
