what safety equipment would i need to wear/ use to drill a 10mm hole i a masonry wall?
Gravity is proportional to mass. The larger the mass the greater the attraction. Be aware the forces are like a rubber band, acting in BOTH directions. Newton figured out that when the apple fell to the ground, the ground rose to meet the apple. Not only did the earth attract the apple, but the apple attracted the earth. Until that point, gravity was thought to be one way, big things attracted small things. You can visualize the effect by imagining space-time as a rubber sheet. Masses, like planets and suns, cause a depression in the rubber. The more massive, the deeper the well formed. There is a point partway between any two bodies where the attraction both ways is exactly equal. When we went to the moon, we used a rocket to climb out of the gravity well of the earth and then cross over to the gravity well of the moon, and fall to the moon. We fired a rocket engine to go into orbit. If the rocket had not fired, the craft would have simply fallen to the surface of the moon. We then used a smaller craft to de-orbit and land softly balanced on a rocket engine. Then, the lander used another engine to lift the LEM back into orbit, and then the engine on the service module to climb out of the well of the moon to get back home. Another maneuver to return to earth orbit, and then the capsule alone de-orbits and ends up hanging from 3 big parachutes and landing the the ocean, to be picked up by the Navy. Remarkable. I watched the first landing from liftoff to splashdown. All of this would NOT have been possible without that first thought of Newton, that gravity works both ways, regardless of size or mass
I must agree with the person who stated the best and simplest approach is to paint the paneling and use a glaze to simulate the tone you want. I think we both are assuming the paneling is a modern plywood one. Should it be solid wood like oak which has darkened with age the answer would be different and involve removing the varnish or other shellac with a top notch safe paint and varnish remover-remember the best its worth the money.One again if it is a victorian varnish finish over solid you might be very lucky and find out it is spirit varnish and will come off fairly easily as it is actually shellac. It still would be a hard project to do, it could be done but it would be a real bear to achieve it.
