Need to bring your Ikea Urban chairs back to life? Try a Scotchbrite and Penetrol (then protect with 303 Aerospace Protectant).
On a lark, I remembered what magic Penetrol did for Eames fiberglass chairs, so I gave it a try on these Urbans. First, clean well and "exfoliate" the seriously ashy bits with a Scotchbrite. Protecting the area well (dropcloth, etc.), saturate a rag with the Penetrol and wipe liberally on the chair. Rewipe if necessary and let dry for a few minutes. Wipe (or even out any excess). Let it dry a day and protect with 303.
You're ready for another season or two…
This is EXACTLY what I needed. ThanX!!!
does this help stop the bits of fiberglass getting stuck on your legs?! if so, thanks!
Hey, what is Penetrol? I will buy it in Germany. I have Panton-Chairs and they need a fresh up 😉
Best regards, Maggie
Penetrol is an oil-based paint “conditioner”. In the UK it is called Owatrol. Not sure about Germany…
