Coffee Table Or End Table
![]() |
I would like to restain my coffee table and end tables. Should I do it in the cold garage or basement? Safe?
I don't know if it's safe to do in my house. Not sure if it's to cold for the garage...I'm in Chicago!!
From years of refinishing antiques, I would suggest you working in your basement. I am in Ontario, and it is too cold here to be restaining/refinishing anything anywhere that is not heated. The stain and top coat need to be applied to normal room temperature pieces and need to be kept at a normal temperature too to work properly.
If your pieces are cold, then allow them to warm up in the basement overnight before working on them. I use the basement a lot throughout the winter to refinish pieces and it is completely safe. Try to stay away from water based stains (they have a tendancy to raise the grain in the wood and have less play time to them). Hope they come out great!!
