The wood wall that almost made me retire. 2 different lots of wood. Never sealed since 90’s. On a well lit sun exposed lake home wall. Asked to clear coat and it was known it would “amplify” the grain and color of the wood. Well, it was “too much” a difference so I had to sand the lower portion after 2 coats clear coat and then find a poly-stain and attempt to get them “closer” in color. It had to be oil based because that’s all it was available in- and in the proper “sheen”- the other clear coat was water based polyurethane so we didn’t blow up the house or pass out from fumes… so- here’s the “process” it was over the course of 6 DAYS due to dry times. Finally got as close as it’s gonna get.

Oofda, this was an ugly ceiling. The reason this failed was due to latex flat paint being painted over old lead based gloss oil. It rejected due to non proper surface prep and moisture, but mostly not sanding, cleaning, then applying Bonding primer- then top coat.
I scraped and sanded and then cleaned and started putting primer on- for some reason it rejected the primer I was given by the homeowner- and I watched it slowly peel again in real time. 😩 so I had to scrape- sand- clean- and then prime two coats with bonding primer- then two top coat. ( pics in order of the process) problem solved. 😊
