I just bought a home tiki bar and I am trying to figure out how to renovate it. It looks like it has been worn out from the sun. I need a cost effective method and some design tips. Right now I am leaning towards making the main poles darker than the paneling on the sides and front. Here are my questions: Would heat treating it with a blowtorch work since the bar is older and is all different shades already? If I cannot heat treat it is sanding and staining my next option? I looked up prices for stainer and it get pricey so I would rather heat treat if possible. Was 400.00 a good deal for this? I need to know if I should try to return it or not.
