Bare Necessities
Bare Necessities
These are the essentials that you need to get started flipping furniture, so if you are short on funds, I'd suggest that you prioritize buying these products before anything else. And if you want your flips to be look high-quality and professional, t... will absolutely need all of these items.
A good random orbit sander is a necessity, of course. And Milwaukee tools have never let me down yet!
Milwaukee M18 Random Orbit Sander
Best colors IMO are Jacobean, Dark Walnut, Ipswich Pine, and Provincial.
Varathane® Classic Wood Stain
You are going to need some sandpaper to go with your orbital sander - and Gator sandpaper does the trick just fine! You will need a couple of different grits, not just 120 though. I'd suggest picking up at least some 120, 180, and 220 grit to get sta...
Gator 120-Grit Disc Sandpaper
Wood filler will be your best friend when picking up old furniture with some imperfections you want to fix. This Minwax wood filler is the best IMO because it sands easily and is fast drying too, so you aren't waiting forever to move onto the next st...
Minwax Stainable Wood Filler 16-oz Natural Wood Filler
Another necessity for when you are doing touchups after using wood filler, so that you can make the repair look realistic and blend in with the rest of the wood grain in a natural way.
Rejuvenate Exact Match Wood Furniture and Floor Repair ...
Never had even heard of tack cloth before, but it is sooo essential for picking up any left over dust from sanding. Otherwise the leftover sawdust will end up getting stuck in the stain, and that can ruin all your hard work! So don't skip on buying t...
Tack Cloth
You may already have one of these kicking around in your house from painting, but if not, you will need to get one for sure. It comes in handy in many different scenarios and they are cheap so definitely buy one. It doesn't really matter the brand to...
Paint Scraper
You will need to add a protective top coat after you are done staining and it has completely dried. This Minwax polyurethane holds up well over time and dries crystal clear. I do suggest practicing applying it on a scrap piece of wood if you have nev...
Fast-Drying Polyurethane - Clear Wood Finish | Minwax®
This is essential for removing hardware like drawer pulls before sanding/staining.
Milwaukee Tool Screwdriver Set (8-Piece)
More sandpaper. Trust me, you'll need it.
WORKPRO 24-Piece Sandpaper Assorted Grits
Don't cheap out when buying your paint brushes. It will make your life a lot easier, believe it. I tried the cheapo ones from like Dollarama or whatever and they just make everything more annoying to do, and will end up wrecking your project. So just...
Wooster 3 inch (75mm) Pro Nylon/Polyester Paint Brush
I always use a lint roller quickly on my clothes before I get started staining or doing the poly topcoat, because if I don't, its just inevitable that some random dog hair or little piece of fuzz will fall off my clothes right into the stain. And tha...
Lint Roller
This stuff legit works great, and it doesn't have a bad smell, and makes it easy and fast to remove old varnish or layers of paint so you don't have to spend a million years sanding it off.
Ez Strip Paint & Vanish Citrus Stripper
