Q: Loaʻa iā mākou kahi paukena hāʻule ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻonani ma luna o kahi papa ʻaina maple i poni ʻia me ka ʻaila linseed, a mākou e hoʻopili mau ai. Ua liki ka paukena a waiho i kahi ʻōpala. Aia kekahi ala e hoʻopau ai?
A: Aia kekahi mau ala e wehe ai i nā kiko ʻeleʻele mai ka lāʻau, akā pono paha ʻoe e hoʻāʻo i kekahi mau hopena kūpono.
ʻO ka pinepine, ʻo nā ʻili ʻeleʻele ma ka lāʻau i hana ʻia e ka hopena o ka makū me nā tannins, i kapa ʻia pēlā ma muli o ka nui o nā tannins i loko o ka ʻili lāʻau ʻoka a me ka lāʻau ʻoka, i hoʻohana ʻia e hoʻoluʻu i ka ʻili no nā tausani makahiki. Loaʻa pū nā tannins i nā huaʻai he nui, nā mea kanu, a me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe. He antioxidant ia, a ke kālele nei ka nui o nā noiʻi o kēia manawa i nā hopena olakino o ka ʻai ʻana i nā meaʻai waiwai tannin.
Hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia nā tannins i ka wai. I ka wā e pulu ai ka lāʻau a e mahu ana ka wai, lawe mai ia i nā tannins i luna, e waiho ana i nā tannins i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma hope. ʻIke pinepine ʻia kēia ma nā lāʻau waiwai i nā tannin e like me ka ʻoka, ka walnut, ka cherry, a me ka mahogany. He kakaikahi nā tannins i loko o ka maple, akā malia paha ʻo nā tannins i loko o ka wai paukena i hui pū ʻia me nā tannins i loko o ka maple e hana i ka ʻili.
Hiki ke hana ʻia nā kiko ʻeleʻele ma ka lāʻau e ka ʻōpala, kahi e hana ʻia ai ke pulu ka lāʻau a aia kahi kumu meaʻai no kahi fungus a mākou e kapa nei he ʻōpala a he mildew paha. ʻO ka wai paukena, e like me nā mea ʻai organik āpau, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he kumu meaʻai.
Hoʻopau ka waikawa Oxalic i nā ʻili tannin a hoʻopau ka chlorine bleach i nā ʻili mold. Aia ka waikawa Oxalic i loko o Bar Keepers Friend Cleaner ($2.99 ​​​​ma Ace Hardware), akā ʻaʻole i emi iho ma mua o 10 pakeneka o ka pūʻolo, e like me ka pepa ʻikepili palekana o ka mea hana. Loaʻa pū ka waikawa Oxalic i loko o ka detergent palupalu Bar Keepers Friend, akā ma kahi ʻano haʻahaʻa. No ke ʻano undiluted, e ʻimi i nā huahana e like me Savogran Wood Bleach ($12.99 no ka ʻauʻau 12 auneke mai Ace) ma ka ʻaoʻao pena.
Eia nō naʻe, i mea e hana ai, pono e hoʻopili ka waikawa oxalic a me ka bleach me nā olonā lāʻau. No laila, wehe mua nā mea hoʻoponopono lako i ka uhi ʻili me nā mea hoʻoheheʻe a i ʻole ke one ʻana. Eia nō naʻe, ua maopopo ua komo ke kala i loko o ka hoʻopau ʻana, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke lele koke i ka piko waikawa oxalic ma lalo nei e ʻike inā ua lawa ka waikawa oxalic i komo e hōʻemi i ke kala me ka ʻole o ka wehe ʻana. Ua hōʻike kahi pou pūnaewele aʻu i loaʻa ai i nā kiʻi ʻanuʻu e hōʻike ana pehea e wehe ʻia ai nā kiko ʻeleʻele mai ka lāʻau me ka ʻole o ka wehe ʻana, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi kāpili o 2 ʻāpana mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe Bar Keepers Friend a me 1 ʻāpana wai, e hoʻouluulu ana no kekahi mau minuke, a laila e hoʻohana i ka hapalua o ka detergent a me ka hapalua wai. Ua hoʻohana ka mea kākau o kēia pou i ka huluhulu kila maikaʻi loa 0000 no ka lua o ka noi, akā ʻoi aku ka palekana o ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi pad synthetic. E waiho ka huluhulu kila i nā ʻāpana i loko o nā pores o ka lāʻau, a e hana nā tannins me ka hao, e hoʻolilo i ka lāʻau e pili ana i ʻeleʻele.
Inā hiki iā ʻoe ke lawelawe i ka ʻili a hauʻoli i ka hopena, maikaʻi loa! Akā, ʻo ka mea paha, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i kahi waihoʻoluʻu like. ʻO ia ke kumu e ʻōlelo ai ka poʻe loea e wehe i ka hoʻopau a mālama i ka ʻili ma mua o ka hoʻopau hou ʻana.
No nā mea kahiko, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā mea hoʻoheheʻe no ka mea he mea nui ia e mālama i ka patina. ʻO Carol Fiedler Kawaguchi, ka mea nāna e hoʻoponopono i nā mea kahiko a me nā lako hale ʻē aʻe ma o kāna hui ʻo C-Saw ma Bainbridge Island, Wakinekona, ke paipai nei i kahi hopena he hapalua waiʻona denatured a me ka hapalua lacquer thinner. No ka pale ʻana iā ʻoe iho mai ka uahi, e hana ma waho i nā manawa hiki a i ʻole e komo i kahi respirator me kahi cartridge mahu organik. E komo i nā mīkina lima a me nā goggles pale kemika. Hoʻomake koke kēia mau mea hoʻoheheʻe, no laila e hana i nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi e ʻeli a holoi paha i ka ʻili pipili ma mua o ka paʻakikī ʻana.
A i ʻole, wahi a Kawaguchi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka Citristrip Safer Paint and Varnish Striping Gel ($15.98 i ka lita ma Home Depot). ʻAʻohe ʻala o kēia mea hoʻoheheʻe, noho pulu a hana no nā hola, a ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia he palekana no ka hoʻohana ʻana i loko. Eia nō naʻe, e like me ka hōʻike ʻana o ka paʻi liʻiliʻi ma ka lepili, e hōʻoia i ka ea maikaʻi a e ʻaʻahu i nā mīkina lima a me nā goggles pale kemika.
ʻO ke one ʻana kekahi koho ʻē aʻe inā makemake ʻoe e pale i ka wehe ʻana i nā kemika. Hiki i kēia ke lilo i mea hoihoi loa no nā papahana i pili ʻole i ka mea kahiko a he ʻili pālahalaha me ka ʻole o nā moldings paʻakikī e paʻakikī ai ke one ʻana. E hoʻohana i kahi sander orbital random, e like me ka DeWalt Corded 5-inch hook-and-loop pad sander ($69.99 ma Ace). E kūʻai i kahi pūʻolo one grit medium ($11.99 no 15 Diablo sanding discs) a me ka liʻiliʻi o kekahi mau ʻāpana one maikaʻi (220 grit). Inā hiki, e hoʻoneʻe i ka papaʻaina i waho a i loko o ka hale kaʻa i ʻole e hele nā ​​​​ʻāpana lāʻau ma kahi āpau. E hoʻomaka me ka pepa palaoa waena. Hoʻopili ka ʻaila flaxseed me ka oxygen i ka lewa, e hana ana i kahi uhi e like me ka plastic. Holo wikiwiki kēia hopena i ka wā mua, a laila lohi a mau no nā makahiki. Ma muli o ke ʻano o ka paʻakikī o ka hoʻopau ʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke one maʻalahi. A i ʻole, hiki ke hana ʻia nā pōpō ʻaila liʻiliʻi ma ka pepa one, kahi e hōʻemi ai i kona pono. E nānā pinepine i ka pepa one a hoʻololi iā ia e like me ka mea e pono ai.
Ke hiki ʻoe i ka lāʻau ʻōlohelohe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoponopono i ke kohu. E hoʻāʻo mua i ka waikawa oxalic. ʻŌlelo ka lepili Savogran e kāwili i ka pahu 12 auneke holoʻokoʻa me 1 galani o ka wai wela, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻonui a kāwili i ka hapaha o nā mea i loko me 1 lita o ka wai wela. E hoʻohana i ka pulumu e hoʻopili i ka hopena ma ke countertop holoʻokoʻa, ʻaʻole wale ka kohu. E kali a mae ka lāʻau i kou makemake. A laila holoi i nā manawa he nui me kahi lole maʻemaʻe a pulu, e holoi ana i ka ʻili. Wahi a ka loea hoʻoponopono hou ʻo Jeff Jewitt ma kāna puke ʻo Upgrading Furniture Made Easy, pono paha i kekahi mau noi e wehe i kahi kohu, me kekahi mau hola o ka maloʻo ʻana ma waena.
Inā ʻaʻole hiki i ka waikawa oxalic ke wehe i ka ʻili, e hoʻāʻo e hoʻopili i ka chlorine bleach i ka ʻili a waiho i ka pō. Inā ua mae iki ke kala, akā ʻaʻole i pau loa, e hana hou i ke kaʻina hana i nā manawa he nui, akā malia paha i ka lā holoʻokoʻa i hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā a hoʻopau i ka mālama ʻana ma mua o ka lilo ʻana o ka lāʻau i mea ʻino loa. ʻO ka hope, e hoʻopau a hoʻomaʻemaʻe me 1 hapa vīnega keʻokeʻo a me 2 hapa wai.
Inā ʻaʻole e nalowale ke kohu, ʻekolu āu koho: e kāhea i kahi mea pena kiʻi akamai; aia nā mea hoʻokeʻokeʻo ikaika aʻe, akā ʻaʻole loaʻa mau. Hiki iā ʻoe ke one a pau ke kohu, a i ʻole ma ka liʻiliʻi e lawa ka māmā i ʻole e hoʻopilikia iā ʻoe. A i ʻole e hoʻolālā e hana i ke kikowaena i mea hoʻonani maʻamau i ka papa ʻaina.
Inā ua hoʻohana ʻoe i ka waikawa oxalic a i ʻole ka bleach, ma hope o ka maloʻo ʻana o ka lāʻau, pono e one māmā me ke one maikaʻi e wehe i nā olonā i lana i luna mai ka pili ʻana me ka wai. Inā ʻaʻole pono ʻoe i kahi one e hoʻomaʻemaʻe a ʻaʻohe ou, hiki iā ʻoe ke hana me ka lima me ka pepa one 220 grit. Ke wehe ʻia nā lepo one a pau, ua mākaukau ʻoe e hoʻopā i ka ʻili me ka ʻaila linseed a i ʻole kekahi mea ʻē aʻe.
