Update: My friend's vinegar finish hack is a disaster waiting to happen

My friend swears by her vinegar and steel wool trick for aging wood. It just strips the surface and leaves a nasty residue. Am I wrong to call her out when she posts it online?

My garage project turned gray and sticky with that vinegar trick. Avery_ross is right about wiping it down, but the acid can still eat through soft woods. I'd suggest testing on scrap wood first before posting tips online.

See, that method works fine if you do it right. People mess up by using the wrong kind of steel wool and not wiping it down after. It doesn't always turn into a disaster lol.

Wow, @avery_ross must be using magic vinegar. Mine just makes the wood look sad and dirty.
