Then apply shellac, polish (other than Pledge), or furniture wax.

If the finish is in sound shape, this will do wonders.

  1. The drain under my sink....
    My husband thinks he is a handy man...
    but the pipes keep pulling apart....
    And I am tired of it...

    This handy man knows all about septic tanks.

    I often throw in a dead rat to keep the process 'alive' ..... if you know what I mean.

    Be afraid, be very afraid.
