In the corporate office they had a few of those painted brick walls. Must have been fun to work on. My wife was fortunate enough to be able to design a series of Fossil tins while we were working there, they're still one of the highlights of her portfolio. Do you live/work in Richardson close to Fossil? Benzart, this is just the info I was looking for!! I finished the tiki with a really rough grit of sandpaper and used Minwax ploy which looks really yellow in the can. Plus the bleach trick, I feel so enlightened. Thanks a bunch for this info. I'll be sure to apply these techinques to my next tiki. Can you recommed a brand of finish that comes in a crystal clear? Thanks again!! I knew you guys were going to be a great resource the minute I found this board.
