Here's where we got up to last time – the desk top has been detached from the base and all the surfaces have been prepped.
In the last post we did glueing and clamping and lots of sanding. Let's look at the results!
We glued and clamped the veneer that was lifting off the desk lid. Now the glue has dried, we have to sand back this area to make it smooth. We also have to fill the damaged edge areas using putty in a matching colour.
For the legs and body of the desk, we used an undercoat of Dulux 1 Step Acrylic Primer, Sealer & Undercoat which is rust resistant then gave it numerous coats of Dulux Spraypak Quick Dry in black over a few days, letting it dry between each coat. We chose this product as it would give a hardwearing glossy even finish and was quick (and fun!) to apply.
The next step will be for us to finish the wooden desk top and prepare for artwork and final paint finish.
We are all excited to see this desk start to come to life!
