Hi ! I have a question to ask for the wisdom of someone who is good at DYI.
If the surface of a table or desk has become bumpy due to deterioration, I would sand it and apply some sort of varnish, but I am looking for a way to avoid a sticky surface after completion.
I can't say it well, but I want to avoid a situation where the paper sticks to the surface when I put it down to write, or the paint temporarily sticks to each other.
I wish I could lay something down, but it is difficult to find a material that is perfect and easy to work with.
If you have any information on how and what to use, please let me know 🙏
Any other ideas are welcome.
Right now I just want to get the surface of the coffee table clean and ready for study.
Thank you very much.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I know DYI stands for DIY ( Do It Yourself ).
> I am looking for a way to avoid a sticky surface after completion.
If you use paints or varnishes (Varnish ・ Varnish∈ Varnish))》it is inevitable that it will be sticky for a long time after painting.
The instructions on those paint cans say "wait at least hours (days) for the paint to dry ( ) do not touch it".
I am also a patient child after applying paint for at least a couple of days. After all, the surface of the paint looks best.
If you want to use the paint right after it is applied, there are also vinyl sheets with a wood grain pattern on the back side.
This can be completed by peeling off the protection sheet on the glue side and stretching it so that it does not crease the surface of the furniture.
These products should be available on the market, but I could not find them on homedept.com.
Also, these products have a vinyl-like surface and are more easily scratched than paint.
Painting furniture and room walls requires a lot of time and effort as surface prep is 'life'.
Shortcuts will yield dismal results.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I have not had any trouble. I have reclaimed a number of desks and tables and they are dry in 24 hours.
The coat may be too thick ? I usually sand clean and stain before I coat.
I also do at least 3 coats. Each time I polish with a fine sandpaper and apply another coat over it.
So far this has worked fine. It is a good idea to read the instructions and precautions on the back of the can.
However, the ones that say you can do it in one go do not work very well.
I'm still sanding my coffee table clean ( from a coarseness of 80 to 250 in stages ) and I'm still working on it.
After this I stain and coat.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I think you are applying it thickly ? My experience, still working on the coffee table, then it is dry the next day. I also do 3 coats. Each time I polish with 400 roughness and apply a top coat. It dries somewhat after a few hours. You have to read the instructions for the coating you are using carefully.
Also, sanding is polishing. I gradually polish from a coarseness of 80 to 400. Then I stain and finish with a coat. A cheap brush is no good.
You have to be in a hurry.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

The title is wrong too... It's embarrassing 😅I wrote it while saying Do it yourself...
Sorry for my question. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it wasn't dry, but it was sticky. ?
For example, when I want to buy a house and go to look at it, it looks beautiful but the paint is painted and it sounds like it is peeling off when you open and close the drawers and cabinets. I feel that the paint I am using is not suitable for what I want to use it for, but the question is ? what should I use for what I want to do?
I am thinking without the second one about putting vinyl on it. It would be inconvenient to lose the hardness of the table for something like writing.
As #4 says, it would be better to read the usage instructions, but I think it is easy to recommend the wrong product in the first place.
I would buy new but I have memories and would like to use it if possible. Only the table top is deteriorating. It seems that there have been many times when water was spilled and not wiped up immediately.
I know that the method of number 4 is to file it properly first, then stain and finish coat ? (the filing method is very helpful 🙏)
When you did the DIY coffee table Can you tell me what products you used ? 🙏 🙏.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

It doesn't say whether you are painting with a brush or using a sprayer, which is it?
I mainly use spray paint when painting small areas such as furniture and accessories. Spraying seems to be easy, but it is more difficult than painting with a brush. You have to spray from the outside of the object to be painted, passing through it at an absolutely even speed and stopping the spray after it has completely passed through. If the object is diagonal or vertical, run the spray thinly and never apply it thickly. If you apply the paint too thickly, the paint will drip there.
For table tops, apply a final coat of clear paint evenly to make the finished product shine like a glass surface.
Painting is difficult. If you make a mistake, you have to wait for the paint to dry completely before sanding again.
Painting walls, on the other hand, is a completely different method, mainly with a roller rather than a brush, which is faster and more extensive, but also takes some time to get used to. Recently, I had to repaint the entire bathroom ceiling because it had turned black due to partial mold growth caused by moisture.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

You're still all over the place ! The board owner is looking for a better way to do it. He didn't say whether it's spray or brush, so that's not part of it ?.

I don't want to be an old man like him.
In general, wall paint and roller paint are two totally different things
There are two main types of paint: water-soluble and enamel paint. For walls, I use water-soluble paint, but for furniture, I use enamel paint
Before painting, mix the paint well with a stick. If you don't do this, the paint will be sticky forever.
Let it dry in a well-ventilated place. If it dries a little, you can use a fan. Repeat several times. If you apply two coats before it dries, it will be sticky forever
And it should be fine. By the way, the material is wood ?.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I use these.

Stain is classic. I have not experienced much success with the others.

Polyurethane. I think semiGloss is a good choice.

Sorry it took me so long to reply.
Thank you all 🙏
Of course I will ask on the sales floor. But they recommended something not for furniture. At the time I bought it as I was told. So I asked here.When I go to a home center, I have my own place and I think I have some knowledge, but sometimes there are some who do not.
Thank you for the detailed and specific advice, ignorant ! I will be careful when I apply it.
pooske, thanks for even linking to the product ! I forgot about Youtube. I would like to buy it on homedepot.

It seems that if you apply a thick coat at once, the inside of the coating does not dry out and becomes sticky.
The trick seems to be to apply thin coats and let them dry completely, and repeat, well, the same as other people's comments.Another idea is to lay down a plastic or acrylic board.
