I am restoring my old wicker and rattan chairs. A recipe calls for 1/3 turpentine and 2/3 boiled linseed oil. I have paint thinner and want to know if I can use that instead of turps.

How do I waterproof REAL wicker?

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011
Yaw asked:


I have some very expensive wicker that my husband wants to put in the wet patio area of our home. It is covered, but is screened and I am sure it will get damp from the humidity, and some blown in rain. Has anyone had any luck with having it spray painted? Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to leave a table and chair set outside, but, don’t want it to ruin. Will leave it inside if I cannot find something to protect it.

I live in south Texas and I have my wicker chairs on the patio?

Just Me asked:


They don’t get rained on, but they are starting to look dirty. I have cleaned them but the black is still on them. It is hot and dry where I am. Any suggestions? Would it help the look if I painted them?

Hi there guys- hopefully you can help with another home repair question of mine!

I want to buy these chairs/set since they’re so darned cheap and I consider myself pretty handy:

(if the link doesn’t work or show all the way, piece together the following two parts for the address:)

However, I just can’t figure out how you would repair these seat bottoms!!! What would you do? It’s not a matter of keeping them as wicker seats- ALL wicker can be thrown out, for all I care.

Any suggestions? Pics? How-to’s?

THANKS!
