Streetcar Willie

What the fuck is up with the PI’s jazzy promotional video of the streetcar? It’s embedded into an article that supposedly takes a critical look at the proposed expansion of the rarely used, traffic jammed SLUT line.

It’s a cute video, and a catchy little song—but is this the news or part of Nickels’ re-election campaign? Here’s the obvious inspiration.

  6. It’s easy and I refinished mine that had a wicker back and it looked really good afer I stained it. One thing that concerns me is the pattern in the wood. If there is old paint, old varnish, I would get a sandpaper like 220 grit that scoffs at it rather than something like 80 or 60 grit that can really dig too hard into the wood. There are sanding blocks you can get that are already gritted and they are really more forgiving on your hands. If you want to stain it go for it. Minwax makes beautiful stains. Just stir, stir, stir when you open that can. I personally would use an old t-shirt to stain. Foam brushes are good for one thing-to make a big mess, steer clear of them. I don’t even know why we sell them!!! Or bristle brushes are wonderful. Seal with a clear polyurethene in semi-gloss, gloss, or just plain poly. Whatever you would prefer. I wouldn’t go with a high gloss to tell you the truth. Have fun. It’ll be worth your effort and you’ll be so proud of it after you can sit in it with a cold glass of tea.

  12. Spar varnish is a thick sealing coat of urethane that they use on all exposed wood surfaces on boats. It comes in a gloss or satin finish, which both give the same amount of protection. The varnish is kind of an amber color and gives a deep luster to wood. It also tends to yellow a bit with age. First, you should sand the furniture smooth to ensure a good finished surface. Use a tack cloth, or terry cloth damp with mineral spirits to clean off any sanding dust. When that dries, you can apply the varnish with an oil-based type of brush (these are more expensive, but they have the perfect bristle density for applying oil-based paints and varnishes). Put on a fairly thin, but even coat. You’ll be applying multiple coats to get it thick. But, if you try to get it thick in one coat, you’ll get lots of drips. After the first coat, let it dry for at least 24 hours. If you don’t give it at least that much time between coats, the solvents in the next coat will dissolve some of the previous coat, causing blistering. And, the only way to fix that is to strip all the varnish off and start over. Before applying the next coat, lightly sand with a fine grit (220 or higher) sand paper or with steel wool. This roughens up the surface a bit, so the next coat will stick better. Repeat as many times as necessary to get the surface finish completely covered (usually 2 or 3 coats will do).
