Do you think this is REAL...seems like some joke poster and hate to see those who watch it getting Daddy's/Grandpa's Blowtorch out because Mamma said the "Outside Chairs look Skuzzy" so can you fix it?



Bizarre this video. Or ......is it Real... Take a BlowTorch to your "Plastic Chairs" from Wall Mart or elsewhere to make them look New?????

The chairs won't be shiny any more, but they'll be the original color without the white scuzz on the surface. What the blowtorch did was melt a very thin layer of the resin that covered up the oxidation. The scuzz is still there under the surface and that's why the chairs aren't shiny when they cool off.

Too bad he didn't get cheap white resin chairs. They're the same color as the scuzz and it's not noticeable. Mine have been outdoors for 20+ years and look new when I bother to hose the sand and soot off them.

i owned any plastic chairs, and if i gave a shit what they looked like.

but i do have a beautiful pair of rusty old gates that i was wondering what to do with exactly, and imma give it a shot. perfectly, scientifically sound.
mostly was thinking about that spray stuff they have these days that just solidifies the old patina.
they are just gorgeous. big ole driveway gates that i am going to use for the entrance to my farm.

and the Bondo I did over it was still intact 5 years later. The color it turned was a nice blue-black.
