Acanthus tendril corner element
Corner Decoration: Variation on a Rococo Theme
The SK-830 decorative corner elements with acanthus leaf carving are made from natural exotic wood, so their surface treatment can be chosen as desired, and they can be freely painted or varnished. You don't need to be a professional in cabinet making for renovation; with the help of these wooden corbels UK, you can restore and decorate antique furniture even at home. It's all a matter of patience and skill.
Below, we've collected a few guidelines, a little help for the work:
What is exotic wood?
It's actually rubber wood, from which rubber is extracted. It can be painted and stained just like any European wood. Rubber wood is harder than pine but softer than beech. Its fiber structure and color fall between beech and oak.
Gluing decorative wood mouldings UK
No special tools are needed for repairs. Just a few generally available items: sandpaper, wood glue (D2 or D3), and something to press it down during drying. But let's look at the work in process:
-
Sanding: It's worth sanding the pattern of the wooden ornaments UK to eliminate small surface flaws. The back side should also be sanded before gluing. Additionally, if possible, the surface to be glued should be prepared by sanding.
-
Gluing: Apply glue to both previously sanded and dust-free surfaces, then spread it evenly. After this, your only task is to press the two surfaces together during drying. This can be done in several ways: with a carpenter's clamp or by pressing with weights. Professionals also use small nails for fixing wood ornaments UK. If glue comes out around the edges, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth to avoid problems later. Depending on temperature, the glue will harden after a few hours, allowing the clamp to be removed. Of course, if you want to be certain, it's worth waiting for complete drying, which can take 12-24 hours. For gluing wood mouldings and ornamental elements, we've tested the following adhesives, so we can recommend them: for glass, mirror: Pattex special (also known as liquid nail); for furniture panel: Pattex special, ponial varnish; for wood, furniture board edges: any wood glue is suitable.
