Furniture Facelift

Two wood finishing products are new from Minwax Co., an antique refinisher and a tung oil finish. Both provide a two-step refinishing system for any type of wood surface.

The antique refinisher is said to dissolve shellac, lacquer and other old finishes without stripping. The tung oil finish reportedly penetrates deeply into wood pores to restore vitality, while providing a hard finish with a low luster.

Bug Off

A new latex paint coating designed to kill bugs shortly after contact, has been introduced by Barrier Coatings, Inc.
