Suggestion: A section for used cabinet restore tips & tricks

(1/1)

shardian:
It has become pretty popular around here to pick up an old beater and restore it or mame it. I think there should be a wiki page full of restoration tips & tricks.
For instance,
What kind of cleaners and strippers to use.
How to clean boards/monitors/CPO/Marquee (without destroying them or killing yourself. ;))
Etc.

What do you all think?

CheffoJeffo:
I think it is a great idea, but don't have the time to write articles, so up until this point I've just amassed some links and dropped them in.

I'd like to get them better organized and prefaced better and would love to see somebody write some actual articles for the page.

ChadTower:

I have a few restoration/repair projects coming up.  I could probably take some pics and write a couple of very basic articles on the process, to be fleshed out with more details and such as time goes on and more minds contribute.

shardian:
I could contribute a small write-up to stripping off painted over cabinets. There really isn't much to it, but is made ALOT easier and safer with the proper tools, stripping products and techniques.

ChadTower:

That's a good one to start with.  Simple, easy to write up, but a beast if you try to tackle the task the wrong way.
