Stop mold and fungus: A basic step in renovating old furniture

Mold and fungi are not only an aesthetic problem for wood, but also a structural problem. Pests that leave fine holes in the wood can also make this problem worse. Wood fibers attacked by mold or insects quickly degrade. Therefore, the basic rule of professional renovation is clear: first disinfect, then paint. Before applying topcoats or varnishes, use a fungicidal impregnation agent. This impregnation agent penetrates deep into the wood structure and destroys mold and fungus germs. Then it is up to you whether you go the route of bold colors or just use a glaze to emphasize the natural grain of the wood and color it in the tones you want.

Basic rule: Use LIGNOSTOP HOBBY V1052 or LIGNOSTOP SH V1055. This will protect the wood from biological attack, stabilize it and prepare the surface for the final treatment.

Or you can use the LUSONOL PROTEKT 3in1 PROTECTIVE STAIN, which already contains active substances that prevent the growth of wood-destroying algae and mold.
