A refinishing project



My desk has been painted and protected by a sheet for over a week now. I've received some puzzled looks from Juan, but I try to reassure him that it will be finished soon. The reason I've been waiting is because I don't want to ruin the paint before I apply the wax coat.

The wax arrived today. I was a bit disappointed by the small amount, but at least it is a start. I was able to apply three thin coats with the little bit I had. I'll be adding to it until I have a glossy sheen on top. I figure if I do a job, it ought to be done well. I just have to be patient for things to be completed in here. No Home Depot available; everything is improvised. It's pretty amazing what some people have cobbled together in here. I'm a "short-timer" though, so I don't have as many cool tricks. And really, I don't want many of them.
