I have an old closet door that I drew and painted cartoon charaters on it. I want to turn the door into a table for my son will this protect the pain.

if you do not want to risk losing it i would not. I would use polyurethane. See my pictures for this product.

Sure you can paint it. It is mostly pressboard but it is all wood of some sort. I would recommend roughing it up with a really light sandpaper or wiping it down with TSP to give it some tooth for the paint to adhere to but then you should have no problem. Good luck!

Depends on how rough. maybe lightly sand it if its real rough, but if not, go ahead and put on the plywood. I used it to put over comic book pages that was glued on the wall and then painted the wall. It looked fine.

I don't think it's too smal. My son is 3 he usually sits on an ikea stool when he paints or draws.

Pretty easy. It is also forgiving, so if you discover a piece was put together upside down or something, it's easy to fix. The pieces go together using a series of cardboard tabs, inserted into slots. Since it is cardboard, if you own a pair of garden gloves, that would be a good safeguard against paper (i.e cardboard) cuts! Otherwise, it's probably harder with an audience, so if you can manage it when kids are at (pre)school, or asleep, that's a good idea :) Allow 20 minutes to an hour, depending on how proficient you are with do-it-yourself assemblies.

Very, based on my experience. Depending on the size of the door you may want to buy two bottles. You should defintely take the door off the hinges and lay it flat so the gel doesn't slide off. Do one side of the door at a time. Make sure you leave the gel on for a few hours, prefferably over night. There are cheaper alternatives to this product out there but. I swear by this stuff just because it doesn't smell, and won't burn your skin. I was able to strip a metal house fan ceiling vent and a metal medicine cabinet in my house last winter while my wife was pregnant and her hound nose didn't pick up on a whiff of anything. Both items were original to the house, built in 1955 and had many layers of paint (assuming water based, not sure)

Our step into our front door, the part between the door and the porch was plastic piece that looked like wood. It had broke a few times and we had it all glued up. It looked horrible. I put this over that and it hasn't moved, shifted or anything. It has been there for almost a year. No problem, no issues. I think it will work for you.

I've never done it, however, this is how I use it. I cut it to a desired length, carve an impression into it and use patina to cast an aged look. It is not supple as aluminum foil, it has more heft and will kink into a permanent line which is difficult if not impossible to remove. I've considered making tiles to glue to the wall, as an artist who shows regularly in galleries, this is something which would require too much time for even a 4 x 4 ft space.

Yes it can, and it's quite awesome for artists (I'm an illustrator myself), I also use it as a light table. Sound buy, I love it.

after your question, I went and tried to see if I can make art with it. it makes really thick foam if you know what you are doing. Yea it makes art I made a smiling face it came out ok for someone who is not artistic.

We use ours on a bunny hutch we made. The doors have doubled over chicken wire which is where we hook it. I wonder if there is a way you could get a small amount of chicken wire and mount it somewhere (like against a piece of wood or furniture you don't mind mildly defiling). It would not take a very large piece but it would have to be secured tightly so it didn't move while he was trying to drink. Hope you come up with something. Good luck.

Definitely before. Sanding will aid in pieces fitting well together. I recommend fine sandpaper with a gentle stroke. This wood is almost like cardboard. This furniture has incredible potential, but only for one with patient hands. Success is found in the one doing the work, not the product. Meaning the product is only as good as the user. Good luck. This stuff is cute if assemblied properly.

In my case, no. The gap between my closet door and the molding is too small. The hooks strike the molding and prevent the door from closing. If I want to shut the door, I will need to shave a little from the top of the door.

I would say yes. I found it to be pretty sticky so be sure to take care in applying. We applied it to foam board before applying to a bedroom door as the door has panels. It needs to go over a smooth surface for sure. Best Doctor Who buy ever!

Yes, the board support/frame for the table top was cut incorrectly. I returned it.I'll just build one out of 2x4s and 3/4" AB plywood. It'll weigh a ton, but the kids can jump on it and help paint it. It'll be a fun project.

It really would get dimpled and pressed in in spots, especially with weight of any kind on it. I purchased it to cut out shutters for a play set and even in my simple cutting it out with an exacto knife, it got bent in the middle and would dimple if i pressed my finger on it. If it were flat against a hard surface on the floor, it would be the thickness of a piece of cardboard box. Hope this helps.

I used this on a very old map chest that did not have a varnish or other finish. It worked beautifully. I highly recommend for older antique furniture and cabinetry. I am not sure that this is the right product for molding in a house. It would probably work but it takes a bit of effort to rub it into the wood. You would also need a lot of it. I would suggest a danish oil for molding, you cab brush it on and wipe off excess easily.
