Re: HMV 582 Options
Thanks for all the comments folks, particularly Hugo with the details on various products. From a conservation point of view I like the idea of a poly finish for durability and I've heard its easier than other products to get good results. Photos will follow soon
The worst parts by far are the bureau lid and the top of the cabinet, the rest would tidy up quite nicely, but I expect selectively refinishing parts of it is never going to look right. My skills aren't good enough to refinish anyway at this stage, so will consider that when Ive practiced on some lesser pieces.
Peter did you do any prep to apply that oil? Could it make chipped lacquer less noticeable?
Anyway Ill add some photos (hopefully tonight), I'll be interested to hear more experienced views on how bad it is
