Hello folks of the Perennial-verse!

This is Catherine, one of this summer’s handy interns, and I come baring the news of Soy Gel!

It’s golden and thick, and like honey, it’s wonderful. Unlike honey, it can strip the finish off of anything, without harming the environment or your skin. As someone who has been literally burned by resin, toxicity is no joke! Soy Gel strips pesky old finishes, not your epidermis. Here at Perennial we’ve been entrusted with the refinishing of a set of six dining chairs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just look at that beautiful raw wood! Before I knew the joy that is Soy Gel I would have tackled this project either with harsh chemical strippers, or with backbreaking repetitive sanding. Before there was Soy Gel, I had to choose between saving the environment and saving time. Now it’s a joint activity, and scraping off long strips of finish is just incredibly satisfying. If you’re interested in the great golden Soy Gel, I suggest you contact Jenny. I’ll be doing my own thing, glopping Soy Gel on upcycling projects and reaping all the benefits.
