I bought a wonderful vintage enamel topped bakers table. Truly awesome, but not sure how to care for it. I want to put a clear coat on it for protection. Any advice ladies?

I had an enamel topped table many yrs ago. I loved using it for making pie crust, etc. I'm not sure I would clear coat it if you lot intend to utilize it for nutrient prep. I just used mine, washed it off and never thought twice. I don't recall that information technology scratched easily and I was ever doing something on information technology. They article of clothing like iron. I'thousand sure some of the other ladies hither will have ideas that might assist if you're worried about the surface.

I just mine utilize mine for my computer table. You tin can't put a coat of anything on it or it volition but get-go chipping off. Simply clean information technology with window clearner. If they get really bad looking or you lot want to modify the color you tin ship them off and have them re-enameled. Mine has chrome legs and I simply plant the place to transport them to exist rechromed. What color is yours? Mine is brilliant white with the ruby-red ruby around the edges.

I would not put annihilation on it at all, it would ruin the value, and as someone else said it would fleck. If its white and information technology has stains, soak rags in lemon juice and lay over the stain and afterward lots of applications information technology will lighten or remove the stain. I found i at a yardsale years ago that someone was useing in a garage equally a workbench, it was white with the light green edges, it took me weeks to become it clean, but it is much needed extra counter infinite in my kitchen now.

I bought mine in an antiques store with some of my wedding money. It fit our old firm in Cleveland PERFECTLY, simply now it'southward relegated to be my figurer desk-bound. I've never washed anything special to it; just wiped information technology downwardly when it needed it. I did in one case use white enamel paint (the kind you lot detect in hobby shops) to gear up a little nick in the top. Mine is white with a red lattice-blazon design on elevation and cherry edges. Does anyone else's have wings that pull upwards to make the table larger, similar mine?
