People who are good at DYI

Hi ！ I have a question to ask for the wisdom of someone who is good at DYI.

If the surface of a table or desk has become bumpy due to deterioration, I would sand it and apply some sort of varnish, but I am looking for a way to avoid a sticky surface after completion.

I can't say it well, but I want to avoid a situation where the paper sticks to the surface when I put it down to write, or the paint temporarily sticks to each other.

I wish I could lay something down, but it is difficult to find a material that is perfect and easy to work with.

If you have any information on how and what to use, please let me know 🙏

Any other ideas are welcome.

Right now I just want to get the surface of the coffee table clean and ready for study.

Thank you very much.

I know DYI stands for DIY （ Do It Yourself ）.

＞ I am looking for a way to avoid a sticky surface after completion.

If you use paints or varnishes (Varnish ・ Varnish∈ Varnish))》it is inevitable that it will be sticky for a long time after painting.

The instructions on those paint cans say "wait at least hours (days) for the paint to dry （ ） do not touch it".

I am also a patient child after applying paint for at least a couple of days. After all, the surface of the paint looks best.

If you want to use the paint right after it is applied, there are also vinyl sheets with a wood grain pattern on the back side.
This can be completed by peeling off the protection sheet on the glue side and stretching it so that it does not crease the surface of the furniture.

These products should be available on the market, but I could not find them on homedept.com.
Also, these products have a vinyl-like surface and are more easily scratched than paint.

Painting furniture and room walls requires a lot of time and effort as surface prep is 'life'.
Shortcuts will yield dismal results.

I have not had any trouble. I have reclaimed a number of desks and tables and they are dry in 24 hours.

The coat may be too thick ？ I usually sand clean and stain before I coat.

I also do at least 3 coats. Each time I polish with a fine sandpaper and apply another coat over it.

So far this has worked fine. It is a good idea to read the instructions and precautions on the back of the can.

However, the ones that say you can do it in one go do not work very well.

I'm still sanding my coffee table clean （ from a coarseness of 80 to 250 in stages ） and I'm still working on it.

After this I stain and coat.

I think you are applying it thickly ？ My experience, still working on the coffee table, then it is dry the next day. I also do 3 coats. Each time I polish with 400 roughness and apply a top coat. It dries somewhat after a few hours. You have to read the instructions for the coating you are using carefully. Also, sanding is polishing. I gradually polish from a coarseness of 80 to 400. Then I stain and finish with a coat. A cheap brush is no good.

You have to be in a hurry.
