Quacks Pretend To Cure Other Men’s Disorders But Rarely Find A Cure For Their Own – Part Forty Eight

The Bloom of Ninon De L’Enclos In a society where we are too ready to judge a book by its cover the pressure is on the fairer sex to maintain or even improve their appearance by the application of cosmetics. Lamentable a commentary on society as this may be, it was ever thus and the sale of cosmetics was always a tidy earner. And where there is money, there is room for the opportunist. The first…

Comment céruser un meuble en bois ?

1- Quelques conseils avant de débuter.

Seuls les bois à pores très ouverts (chêne, châtaignier, frêne...) présentent une réelle aptitude à la céruse car la pâte à céruser se logera dans les pores pour apporter tout l'effet décoratif.

2- Préparation

Tout d’abord poncer le bois si nécessaire (pour cela utiliser du papier de verre ou une ponceuse électrique).

Ensuite dépoussiérer le bois. Teignez le avec de la teinture à bois. Frotter ensuite  le bois à la paille de fer dans le sens du bois. Cette étape,est  appelée "veinage", et a pour but de creuser les veines du bois qui ressortiront par la suite. Attention cependant à ne pas abimer le bois. Dépoussiérer  à nouveau le meuble.

3- Céruser le bois

Appliquer la pâte à céruser à l'aide d'un chiffon. 

Passer un chiffon sec et propre pour enlever le surplus.

Il est conseillé de laisser sécher ( en général 48 heures mais cela varie selon le type de pâte à céruser).

Frotter ensuite le bois avec de la laine d'acier en insistant bien sur toutes la surface du bois Dépoussiérer une dernière fois.

Pour terminer cirez et lustrez votre meuble.
