This is so cool I am racking my brain trying to think of a project that can put this technique to use. Pictures can be deceiving, and I haven’t ever seen this done in person, so I’m a little skeptical. But, even this turns out even half as good as the pictures, it would be a success. We would love to hear from anyone who has tried this. Let us know! Check out the link below for instructions:
Make PVC Look Like Wood
You’ll need:
– PVC, Any size you want.
– Heavy Metal File. Mine has Rasp and Double Cut sides. An 8-inch file like this costs $9 at any hardware store.
– 100 Grit Sandpaper
– Artist Oil Paint. You can use acrylic, but it may chip off unless you seal it.
– Wire Brush, for clearing the file’s teeth of PVC.
– Dust Mask, to prevent PVC dust from getting in your lungs.
