How to form furniture yourself

Artificially aged furniture also looks very beautiful and noble, but getting it much easier, faster and cheaper than genuine old.

From the existing methods of artificial composition of wooden surfaces available for independent development, three mains can be distinguished:

• Chemical. This method implies the use of various substances, such as the ammonious alcohol, the veil, crochelle varnishes, etc.

• Thermal. The effect of antiquity is achieved due to the effects of hot soldering iron or open fire.

• Mechanical. The most common method of damage is scratching, cracks, etc., and their subsequent treatment with varnish, paint to enhance the effect.

When applying these methods, it turns out completely different in the appearance of the furniture. The photo of each of the options are not comparable to each other, although everyone is considered manifestations of the same direction in the art of decoration.

Next, you can consider each of them in more detail, but before this it is necessary to prepare the treated surfaces, i.e. Remove with door loops, accessories and decor objects, as well as a layer of old paint or varnish.

Chemical method of furniture

This method has several options, the difference between which is to use different chemicals.

• Equipment with the help of ammonic alcohol. Before starting work, you should walk on the surface of sandpaper, so that a clearer tree structure manifested itself. It is not necessary to do this, but if there is a desire, then it is possible to strengthen the effect of antiquity. Next to the wooden surface is applied by ammonia alcohol. Impacting on it, it causes a darkening and appearance of a grayish shade characteristic of old wooden items. It is worth noting that this method can be applied only for hardwood wood due to the presence of tanning substances in them.

• Building with paint and crochelle varnish. The purpose of this method is to create visibility of the shabby, the surface of the surface. First of all, it is necessary to determine the basic color of the object being processed, and then pick up lighter, to achieve the effect of faded paint. For this, the bright white paint and paint of the color of the ivory, foam milk, etc. are equally suitable. The main color can be obtained by white tinting method.

• The first to the surface is applied the main tone. After the paint is completely dry, it is missing again, but already white. After that, it is also necessary to wait for complete drying. Next, the dry paint is treated with fine skin, achieving these actions for the formation of the shappers and the appealing lower, darker layer.

• To portray cracks apply a special crust lacquer. It is applied to the base and after that when they begin to cover the surface by the second layer of paint, it is covered with cracks characteristic of the old furniture. These cracks will have the color of the base layer. If there is a desire to get a more interesting effect, then for the base you can take not one, but several dyes.

• Morilka formation. The surface of the tree is missing by a water-based venue, setting the base color. After that, it is beginning to selectively wash off the wet sponge. The emphasis is made on the middle part of the board, while the edges, cracks, bends are left dark.

In case, in the implementation of the actions described above, the desired effect is not achieved, after complete drying, the surface should be pasted. In charges and bends you can additionally walk with a brushes moistened by the veil. The next stage is applied by another layer of veil, but already on the other basis (if the first was on the water, then the second can be taken on a alcohol, gasoline or ligrous basis).

Next, the processed part is completely dried for twelve hours. After that, the brush or part of the paraclone, wood pores are filled with shellah soil. At the final stage, special wax is rubbed into the treated surface and is polished with a soft cloth.

Thermal method of making furniture

• Acting this method, the wooden surface of the furniture is burned with a soldering lamp until a texture drawing and knots appear. After this stage is completed, it is necessary to remove from the surface of the Nagar, as well as achieve a more embossed structure with a metal brush. In order for the tree drawing to be as expressive as possible and manifested itself in all its glory, it is possible to embed a product in one layer. It is further desirable to apply the final varnish coating.

This method requires maximum accuracy and attentiveness because, acting by a soldering lamp, a wooden subject is very easily spoiled.

• With a thermal method, as an option, you can use kerosene burner instead of a soldering lamp. In this case, it is possible to damage the surface with a metal brush both after and to heat treatment.

In the process of work, in no case cannot be delayed the fire on some places longer, for others less. It is best to do it outdoors - in the yard or, as a last resort, on the balcony. Because to start silent the work on the furniture is better to fill the hand on an unnecessary wood.

Mechanical way to make up furniture

This method is the most common and most suitable for safe use at home. It has three ways to implement:

• The first way. He is very simple. The processed surface is cleaned with a metal brush, and covered with white azure, waiting until it dry. The azure is a translucent coating through which the natural structure of the tree is glad.

When the coating is completely dry, we are cleaned with a brush again. The result of such treatment is a white wooden surface having small scuffs and relief.

• The second option. It is a bit more complicated than the first: the brush is removed by soft fibers of the tree, creating a heterogeneous structure, and then paint to enhance the effect. First, on the surface pass by sandpaper, then the metal brush, which, if desired, can be replaced with a grinder with an appropriate nozzle, wood fibers are removed. After that, it is necessary to clean the working plane from the sawdust so that they do not interfere and not closed the work. At the end of this procedure, the surface becomes contrasting and embossed. To strengthen and emphasize its beauty, you need to paint with a varnish in two layers. Coating applied with a tassel or roller. After applying a couple of minutes, remove the surplus with a sponge, watching the awesome relief. As soon as the product acquires the desired look, you need to interrupt and leave it until complete drying. After that, put the lacquer coating.

• If you like the brand-up furniture in the style of "Provence", an additional fine coating of white lazuries should be applied under the lacquer coating. After its drying, you can apply as the final layer of transparent lazuries. This variant of the composition of the furniture looks very good, if light tones are dominated in the decoration of the room.

• Third option - multi-layer staining. Before it starts, the surface of the furniture should be damaged by all sorts of tools leaving various traces: knock on it with a hammer, to take a saw, scratch seer, etc. Next, the tree should be rebounded by a layer of transparent antiseptic, give it well to dry and apply a solid layer of antiseptic paint. After complete drying, you can once again handle the product first large, and then small emery paper. On the first layer of the "travelers" should not appear strongly. Masters dealing with furniture decoration argue that an excellent result gives an uneven coating by the wood-protective, antiseptic means of Pinnotex.

• After squeaking, you need to brush the resulting trunk and open the tree with a white azure. Through its layer will be shifted to a dark basic coating. Moreover, uniform painting in this case is inappropriate, because The visibility of the old surface of the surface emphasizes the influx and plotted in the coating. After drying this layer, it is necessary to apply a metal brush once again, imitating the structure of old wood on the surface of the furniture. At this stage, the colors begins to contrast sharply. But the tones of old wood are always more muted. It is possible to smooth out a sharp drop by applying a white azure divided by the White alcohol in half.

• next, paraffin candles are rubbed edges, corners and other protruding places of furniture, which would most likely be lost over time. This action is necessary in order for the subsequent application of paint, it was possible to remove it in the places where it lay on paraffin;

• now we take a lace napkin, which will play the role of the stencil, and fasten it on the site of furniture, where the drawing will be appropriate: if it is a chair, then on the back or seat, if the locker or bedside table is on the door or roof, etc. After that, we paint the entire surface of the product with white paint. It is advisable to do it on the street, but if there is no such possibility, then you need to at least close the floors with newspapers, film or cardboard, otherwise everything is covered with paint splashes;

• when the paint is completely dry, clean the places that you before painting with paraffin before painting. You will see how dark paint appears through the top white layer. After that, you can remove the napkin;
