JC HRYB's Profile

Dear Brad,

As you said this is no place to post gripes, I merely recommended my company as another source and in no way bad mouthed yours.

We both have our own standards and that is all there is to it.
No worries.

I wish you lots of success in 2009, your website looks more and more porofessional, good job!

Regards,

Hi there,

I saw your post(s) on Apartment Therapy and since you so graciously offered your services I thought I would write you with my question! I just obtained an old metal barrister's bookcase in original condition, and though I would LOVE to have it repainted one day at the moment it will have to stay as is. It needs a bit of a scrubbing though, and I'm wondering if you could recommend the best method for doing so? I think I read somewhere that Comet or a similar cleaner works well, but I am afraid it will be too harsh so I wanted to verify that.

thank you so much in advance!

P.S. Do you have any colleagues in the Bay Area who paint these things? It would be a bit inconvenient to haul this big thing down to LA :) thanks!

Twenty Gauge answered:

Dear Dina,

Comet will work, yet I would suggest to first use simply water and some very fine steel wool (ie: 000)-you can always scrub out more, yet you cannot put it back once it is taken off!

No one in SF doing that that I know of...LA is not so far, take a fun trip down here and we will ship it back!

I used to live in the Bay Area...I know LA is considered the land of HELL by Noorthern Californians, but it is REALLY not THAT bad!!!...:)

Good luck! Remember, a bit at a time.

Also: start underneath/on the back-a non visible side/spot so that you can test the effect first!
