Rejuvenating old paneling question..
Moved into an older (1969) place that has beautiful paneling. Most of it
need a good cleaning and polishing, however there are some areas that have slight fading (from the sun) or light areas (mostly from being close to water areas, sink, shower area). Need more info, or is this enough for comments. Thanks, DE |

Greetings,
If the paneling has faded -- to the best of my knowledge there is nothing that can be done. William "DoubleEntendre" wrote in message ... Moved into an older (1969) place that has beautiful paneling.

Sure, it really needs to be sanded down and refinished (probably cheaper and easier to just replace it), but this took 30 minutes and is 70% as good. Don't know if it will work as well on paneling, but I don't see why not. |

Thanks all, with my schedule, it will be a week or 2 before I can try
something, but I'm sure some try is better then not trying. Again, great group! TY DE "toller" wrote in message ... "DoubleEntendre" wrote in message ...

Greetings,
BTW: If whatever you try doesn't turn out like you hope and you want to paint it be sure the paint you choose will stick! Hope this helps, William "DoubleEntendre" wrote in message ...
