Patio furniture project.
Re: Patio furniture project.
Thanks everyone. There is a farmer near by with quite the setup. He and his son do it when they can't get in the fields. He lets you know up front that he'll do them only after his work is done so it could be a while. It rained for a couple days after I dropped them off so I got them back fairly quickly. He only charged me $30 to blast the glider and two chairs. The springer chair I found after I had already dropped the others off so I stripped it. I disassembled it, smeared stripper on and put the pieces in sealed trash bags overnight. The next day most of the paint came right off. What was left the wire brush on an angle grinder took care of. The farmer was recommended by the owner of our hardware store in town. He blasted a big cast iron urn for my parents earlier in the spring and did a great job on that as well. It pays to ask around.
