Approximately how many square feet of wood with 2 coats of varnish can I remove with one 32-oz. container of Formbys 28013 Furniture Refinisher?

I am sorry I can't help you. I used it to remove varnish from a small ornamental box. It worked very well and quickly.

Unsure of sq ft but I did a full size head and foot board with 1 32oz can, hope this helps!

There's realy no way to tell, too many variables. The liquid evaporates while being used, so temperature & humidity affect the usage. You'll use more on detailed surfaces than on flat. And what the finish is - varnish, shellac, urethane, etc. All I can say is you'll use more than you expect so have a ready source for more before starting. Once you've started, then you can estimate how far you think the can will go. Sorry for the ambigious answer, but hope it helps.

I have a smaller kitchen than you, but you don't have to use much when applying it to the cabinets or furniture. Purchase one to estimate the coverage from a 16oz. bottle.

Not sure, I have been trying to remove varnish from furniture without much luck

I don't think so. I bought this to try to fix one small spot on a table top. I ended up having to take the entire finish off the table top and still have not been able to get the top to take new stain. I think I am going to have to take it to a professional furniture refinisher to get it to be presentable again. I will never use any Formby's product again. I emailed Formby's for help, and they basically told me I had misused the product and wouldn't help. I followed the directions to the letter. Good luck.

I would strip your cabinets first. If they are already painted they probably have at least 3 coats already. Using this product will add another 4 coats at least

It depends on your thickness. A totally smooth surface will also take less because you aren't having to make it thick enough to cover the bumps. How smooth is your plywood? Typically, 2 gallons (total) does about 60 square feet for a countertop so you could be looking at 12 gallons. At a 2:1 ratio, that would be 8:4. But that might be too thick.

I use this about a year ago. If I remember correctly you do 2 coats, no more, no less. Since that's the manufacturers instructions, I have to imagine one gallon can do two 50sf coats.

1-2 bottles is sufficient. My Kitchen is 17ft in length and 7ft in width. I bought 2 bottles and did not have to use all of the second bottle. I opened window and poured Trewax first onto the floor straight out of the bottle and poured water down to dilute it while it was on the floor, I waited 5-10 minutes it lift off the old wax so fast it was absolutely amazing. I used a hard bristle brush attached to a long handle I did not have to scrub too much at all because it lift so easily. I pushed the old wax to a corner picked up with paper towels threw it out in a plastic bag. It took me about 1-2 hours tops. 1-2 bottles is sufficient. My Kitchen is 17ft in length and 7ft in width.

the bottle is 8oz. A little goes a long way. Put it on a clean cloth and wipe on the wood.

I put this in 2 containers, spray and squirt bottles. Heavy soiling on furniture I use the squirt bottle to saturate. Floors and other items I use the spray bottle. Do not remove, let dry to neutralize odor.

"Refresh cabinets" sounds like a clean up job. The Formby's Furniture Refinisher is for refinishing cabinets (and it's quite good at that). Formby's does have a furniture cleaner available. It will clean up old wax, dirt and the like. Murphy's Soap will do a similar job. There may be other products that fit this function as well. But, DON'T use the Furniture Refinisher unless you are going to completely refinish (that is remove the current finish and stain completely) the cabinets in their entirety. Hope this info is helpful.

Not sure, but I refinished quantity of four old four panel doors both sides with four layers of old paint on them and I used the whole gallon. I think it depends on what you are removing paint on and how many layers of paint you have to take off. Sorry I could not be more help.

Read the directions and/or call the company. I would not use it on wood furniture personally. I use it for stainless steel only.

I think a gallon should do the trick--I put 2 coats on the inside of a 13 foot Boston whaler with a gallon

Reid, can't imagine you needing more than one can for thus job. The first coat will penetrate well and seal the wood. After it cures additional coats will not penetrate. You can build a slight surface coat, but that is not what the product is for. I have been very happy with this product. Low odor, that dissipates quite quickly.

This is ready to use, do not dilute with water. This container will cover approximately 5,000 square feet.

depends on if you are refinishing or starting from scratch? I refinished a small size old fashioned chalkboard about one and one half foot square and used very little. less than a quarter of the can. but did several coats to look good. you will have to experement to really see?? Sorry!
