Show mm For the Home Distinctive Table Top TF YOU have a coffee table with a marred top but otherwise good appearance, you can make it like new without a lot of laborious refinishing. And at the same time you can give the table a distinctive feature that it never had a marble pattern top with a surface sur-face that takes abuse. The simple job is done by applying a new top in the form of a plastic-finished Marlite panel in one of five authentic marble patterns. Widely used for walls and ceilings, the material ma-terial is available at lumber yards. Saw a panel to fit, allowing a fraction of an inch for smoothing edges by planing and sanding. Bond the panel to the table with adhesive and leave weights on top until the adhesive ad-hesive is set. Wax the edges or paint them to harmonize with the marble pattern and table finish. Your new table top, with its baked-on plastic finish over a tempered Masonite hardboard base, will defy attacks by beverages, bev-erages, heat and wear. Damp-cloth Damp-cloth wiping will clean it. |
