Ben Baad Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 I got the desired darkness. I'm interested in tips to dull the gloss a bit and also smooth out the slight stickiness. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Baad Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 I doubt I will have the same problem when I do the rest of the job. But just in case I do I'd like to have a plan. Where I went wrong was I should of waited a couple days to do that third coat. the stain was sticking a bit more than I'd of liked partially because I was interrupted and the stain sat a a few minutes longer than planned and was not able to wipe off in time to avoid the "sticky" feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I must admit some admiration in sanding those down and refinishing them. I have a set of Birch Lacquer that I started sanding the worst one. The more I sand, the more I think I can live with it's Battle scars, love bites and whatever other defects barring something totally unexpected. Welcome to the forum! Should someone give you a hard time, Just tell them to move along to something they do enjoy. That's not rude, just friendly advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Baad Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm almost done with one of the two speakers. Should be finished by tomorrow. I removed the klipsch sticker to sand and stain. What kind of glue is recommended for putting this back on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifter Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Little late to this one, but welcome. I also have a 1989 Birch pair.. They are still raw.. Good luck and cant wait to see the finished product.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Range Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Keeping the speakers natural and with careful product application to bring out it's natural beauty would have been my preference I recently made some frames for my crossovers and kept them natural with just penetrating wood oil.

Duratex works really well, especially if you fill all the chips and dents and spray them.Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
