I chose Tried & True Original wood finish to re-finish my dining table because it’s nontoxic and environmentally friendly.
For a beginner, I’m pretty impressed with my results. I did all the sanding, stripping, and finishing in my small apartment, with a little help from some YouTube videos!
Although I was hoping this finish wouldn’t alter the color of the grain too much, I’m still pretty impressed with the way it turned out.
To strip my table, I used a portable Dremel sander with 80-220 grit sand paper, and since I live in Southern California, (where Mineral Spirits and paint thinners are banned), I used Citristrip to remove any paint that was impossible to sand off, and applied hot distilled vinegar, with a paint brush to remove the Citristrip residue using a putty knife, souring pads, and steel wool.
Then I hand sanded it once more and used steel wool to dry-burnish the table.
To finish it, I applied Tried & True with small pieces of an old tee-shirt. To increase the sheen, I used 0000 Steel Wool, and a clean microfiber cloth in between coats. Onec each coat was applied, I wiped off the residual finish with a 100% natural Chamois.
