I'm not sure if this technique has been posted before.
Last week I brought my 29 year old beat up, grubby handle and showed them to my buddy Tracy. She told me she use to be cabinet finisher and she gave me some great suggestions.
Before. The long handle I already started on it. Without diluting the chemical and rubbing for 15 minutes.
After rubbing them in the solution for 15 minutes the result was pretty good.
Now I need to show these to Tracy and what is the next step. She did tell me to use spar or marine varnish so handles would be waterproof.
