Well the day of reckoning arrived, the stripping off of the veneer from the commissioned piece.
It was surprisingly easy as it was fabric backed, once I heated up a corner I was able to tear it off as a long piece. What was time consuming was removing the adhesive, but it was done by the time I decided to finish for the day.
Sales were good, we sold the small veneered caddy that was posted yesterday to a friend of Cameron, who knows everyone.
Later, we had a lady collect a display unit that Kelli had for ages.
She pulled up in a large truck with someone who I took to be her son. He had one of those thin moustaches and a strange smiles that said “can I eat your dog?”
I was careful to keep my distance from that guy.
We had a good thunderstorm where it was dark and foreboding then absolutely hammered down filling our water barrel in seconds. The humidity was high making the sealer on the mid century pice tacky all day, but Kelli decided to start on old Pinky.
Heat gun at the ready, she progressed through the drawer fronts, then started on the top. When she reached her limit for the day I took over with my super scraper, and had it done in minutes.
