Hi all, long-time lurker, first time poster here!
I picked up a lovely oval multi-leaf table recently and am looking for advice on restoring it.
There are 2 "D" end shapes (950mm) & 2 middle leaves (400mm) for 2700mm total.
There are a few issues
- I'd like to have the 2 extending leaves in...
Ah, rereading the OPs message, it may be different materials. I haven't used soda on spongy materials where everything has gone soft. But had lots of success with things which had a surface tackiness which wouldn't otherwise scrub off. E.g remote controls, electric razors, that sort of thing
Lots of replies here saying there's no solution or to use harsh solvents.
The answer is buried in a small comment above - baking soda mixed with a drop of water to a coarse paste. The stickiness scrubs right off! I have done this on a few items, each with great results.
