Introduction

Antique wooden chairs add a touch of elegance to any space, but they often come with years of wear and tear. Using 100-grit sandpaper, you can restore these timeless pieces while preserving their charm. Follow this guide to repair, sand, and refinish antique chairs.

Why Use 100 Grit Sandpaper?

• Perfect Balance: Coarse enough for sanding old finishes but gentle on delicate wood.
• Removes Surface Defects: Eliminates scratches, dents, and peeling paint.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Inspect and Repair

Examine the chair for loose joints or damaged areas. Apply wood glue where needed and let it dry before sanding.

Step 2: Sand the Chair

Attach 100-grit sandpaper to a sanding block and sand along the grain. Pay attention to carved details and edges.

Step 3: Apply a New Finish

Use wood stain or varnish to protect and enhance the wood’s natural beauty. Let it dry completely before use.
