U: Sine-autumn squash njengehombiso etafileni yethu yokutyela enemilo ye-maple, sigqibe ngeoyile ye-linseed kuphela, esiyibeka rhoqo. Ithanga lavuza laza lashiya ibala. Ngaba ikho indlela yokulisusa?
A: Zininzi iindlela zokususa amabala amnyama emthini, kodwa kusenokufuneka uzame izisombululo ezininzi ezinokwenzeka.
Amaxesha amaninzi, amabala amnyama emthini abangelwa kukusabela kokufuma kunye neetannins, ezithiywa igama lazo kwizinto ezifumaneka kwixolo lom-oki kunye nomthi wom-oki kwaye bezisetyenziswa ukujika ulusu kangangeenkulungwane. Iitannins zikwafumaneka kwiziqhamo ezininzi, imifuno, kunye nezinye izinto zezityalo. Yi-antioxidant kwaye izifundo ezininzi okwangoku zigxile kwimiphumo yempilo yokutya ukutya okutyebileyo kwitannin.
Iitannins ziyanyibilika emanzini. Njengoko umthi umanzi aze amanzi aphele, uzisa iitannins kumphezulu apho kuhlala khona iitannins ezixineneyo. Oku kwenzeka rhoqo kwiinkuni ezityebileyo njenge-oki, i-walnut, i-cherry, kunye ne-mahogany. I-Maple ineetannins ezimbalwa, kodwa iitannins kwijusi yethanga zisenokuba zidibene neetannins kwi-maple ukuze zenze ibala.
Amabala amnyama emthini nawo anokubangelwa kukungunda, okwenzeka xa umthi umanzi kwaye ungumthombo wokutya weefungi ezahlukeneyo ezaziwa ngokuba yi-mildew okanye i-mildew. Njengazo zonke izinto eziphilayo, ijusi yethanga ngokuqinisekileyo ingasetyenziswa njengomthombo wokutya.
I-oxalic acid isusa amabala e-tannin kwaye i-chlorine bleach isusa amabala okubola. I-oxalic acid sisithako kwiBar Keepers Friend Cleaner ($2.99 ​​​​kwiAce Hardware), kodwa yenza ngaphantsi kwe-10% yezithako zetoti, ngokutsho kwephepha ledatha yokhuseleko lomenzi. I-oxalic acid ikwafumaneka kwiBar Keepers Friend detergent ethambileyo, kodwa ikwizinga eliphantsi. Ukuze ufumane uhlobo olungaxutywanga, khangela iimveliso ezifana neSavogran Wood Bleach ($12.99 kwibhafu ye-12-ounce yeAce) kwindawo yokupenda.
Nangona kunjalo, i-oxalic acid kunye ne-bleach kufuneka zinxibelelane nemicu yomthi ukuze zisebenze. Ke ngoko, abalungisi befenitshala baqala ngokususa ukugqitywa ngezinyibilikisi okanye ngesanti. Nangona kunjalo, kuyacaca ukuba ibala liye langena ngandlel’ ithile ekugqibeleni, ngoko ungatsibela ngokukhawuleza kwincam ye-oxalic acid engezantsi ukuze ubone ukuba i-oxalic acid yanele na ukuze kuncitshiswe ibala ngaphandle kokususwa. Iposi endiyifumeneyo ibonise imifanekiso yenyathelo ngenyathelo yebala elimnyama elisuswayo emthini ngaphandle kokususwa ngentlama yeendawo ezimbini zokucoca iiBar Keepers Friend kunye nenxalenye enye yamanzi imizuzu embalwa, emva koko isiqingatha sokucoca kunye nesiqingatha samanzi. Umbhali wale posi usebenzise uboya bentsimbi obuncinci obungaphezulu obuyi-0000 kwisicelo sesibini, kodwa kungangcono ukusebenzisa iphedi yokwenziwa. Uboya bentsimbi buya kushiya ii-splenters kwiimbobo zomthi, kwaye ii-tannins ziya kusabela nentsimbi, ziguqule umthi okufutshane ube mnyama.
Ukuba uyakwazi ukumelana nebala kwaye wonwabile ngesiphumo, kulungile! Nangona kunjalo, kusenokwenzeka ukuba awuyi kukwazi ukufumana umbala ofanayo. Yiyo loo nto iingcali zicebisa ukuba uqale ususe ukugqiba, unyange ibala, uze uliphinde ulilungise.
I-Thinner mhlawumbi yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokususa izinto zakudala kuba i-patina yezinto zakudala ibalulekile. UCarol Fiedler Kawaguchi, olungisa izinto zakudala kunye nezinye ifanitshala ngenkampani yakhe eseBainbridge Island, eWashington, i-C-Saw, ucebisa ukusebenzisa isisombululo se-half denatured alcohol kunye ne-half lacquer thinner. Ukuze uzikhusele kumsi, sebenza ngaphandle ukuba kunokwenzeka okanye unxibe i-half-mask ene-organic vapor filter. Nxiba iiglavu kunye neeglasi ezimelana neekhemikhali. Ezi solvents ziyaphela ngokukhawuleza, ngoko sebenza kwiindawo ezincinci ukuze ukhuhle okanye unciphise ukugqitywa okunamathelayo ngaphambi kokuba kuqine.
Okanye, uKawaguchi uthi, ungasebenzisa iCitristrip Safer Paint kunye neVarnish Striping Gel ($15.98 ngelitha eHome Depot). Le stripper ayinavumba, ihlala imanzi kwaye isebenza iiyure ezininzi, kwaye inelebheli ekhuselekileyo yokusetyenziswa ngaphakathi. Nangona kunjalo, njengoko ubona kumbhalo omncinci kwilebheli, qinisekisa ukuba umoya ungena kakuhle kwaye unxibe iiglavu kunye neeglasi ezichasene neekhemikhali.
Ukuba ufuna ukuphepha ukususa iikhemikhali, ukugquma ngesanti yenye indlela – oku kunokuba nomtsalane ngakumbi kwiiprojekthi ezingabandakanyi izinto zakudala kwaye zinomphezulu othe tyaba ngaphandle kokugquma ngesanti okunokwenza kube nzima ukugquma ngesanti. Sebenzisa i-orbital sander engacwangciswanga efana ne-5″ DeWalt Corded Hook & Loop Sander ($69.99 kwi-Ace). Thenga ipakethi yesanti ephakathi ($11.99 ngamavili e-Diablo sanding ali-15) kunye namaphepha ambalwa e-sandpaper entle (220 grit). Ukuba kunokwenzeka, susa itafile ngaphandle okanye uye egaraji ukuze iitships zomthi zingangeni ndawo yonke. Qala ngesanti ephakathi. Ioyile ye-linseed isabela neoksijini emoyeni ukuze yenze umphezulu weplastiki. Le mpendulo iqhubeka ngokukhawuleza ekuqaleni, ize yehle kwaye ihlale iminyaka. Kuxhomekeke ekubeni isiphelo siqine kangakanani, ungayigquma ngokulula. Okanye, ithontsi elincinci lezinto ezinamafutha linokwenzeka kwisanti, eliya kunciphisa ukusebenza kwayo. Jonga iphepha lesanti rhoqo kwaye ulitshintshe njengoko kufuneka.
Wakuba ushiyeke umthi ongenanto, ungawususa loo mthi. Zama i-oxalic acid kuqala. Ileyibhile yeSavogran ithi xuba yonke isitya se-12 ounce kunye ne-1 gallon yamanzi ashushu, kodwa ungasondeza uze udibanise ikota yomxholo kunye ne-1 litre yamanzi ashushu. Sebenzisa ibrashi ukusasaza isisombululo kuyo yonke ikhawuntara, kungekuphela nje ibala. Linda ude umthi ukhanye ngendlela othanda ngayo. Emva koko sula amaxesha amaninzi ngelaphu elicocekileyo nelimanzi ukuze uhlambe umphezulu. Ingcali yokulungisa umphezulu uJeff Jewitt ithi kwincwadi yakhe ethi Making Furniture Refinishing Easy ukuba ukususa amabala kunokufuna unyango oluninzi kunye neeyure ezininzi zokomisa phakathi.
Ukuba i-oxalic acid ayisusi ibala, zama ukufaka i-chlorine bleach kwibala uze ulishiye ubusuku bonke. Ukuba umbala uphelile kancinci, kodwa awanelanga, phinda le nkqubo izihlandlo ezininzi, kodwa mhlawumbi imini yonke ukuze ukwazi ukujonga rhoqo kwaye ugqibezele unyango ngaphambi kokuba umthi utshintshe umbala kakhulu. Okokugqibela, susa ibala uze uhlambe nge-1 part yeviniga emhlophe kunye ne-2 parts yamanzi.
Ukuba ibala alinyamalali, uneendlela ezintathu onokukhetha kuzo: fowunela umzobi oqeqeshiweyo; kukho ii-bleach eziqinileyo, kodwa azifumaneki rhoqo. Ungayicoca ide ibala liphele, okanye ubuncinane ukhanyise ngokwaneleyo ukuze ingakukhathazi. Okanye ceba ukusebenzisa isiqwenga esiphakathi njengesixhobo sokufaka etafileni.
Ukuba usebenzise i-oxalic acid okanye i-bleach, emva kokuba umthi womile, kuya kufuneka ucofe okokugqibela nge-grit sanding ekhaphukhaphu nethambileyo ukuze kususwe imicu ethe yadada phezu kwamanzi ngenxa yokudibana namanzi. Ukuba awudingi sander ukuze uyicoce kwaye awunayo, ungayenza ngesandla nge-grit sandpaper engama-220. Susa lonke uthuli lwe-sand, emva koko ungacofa nge-linseed oil okanye nantoni na.
