what do you mean stripper? the chemical stuff? you put it on, wait and then what? xshub tried to use something to peel it off and it was taking up wood with it, so we stopped that. a friend of mine found this out at the curb in her neighborhood, it’s real wood, not particleboard. my daughter doesn’t want to spend a lot of $ on something for my grandson’s room, so FREE fit the bill. i would like to get this done for them this week for when they get back from the beach on Sunday.
how do i know when i am down far enough? the paint was not thick on this and i get the feeling it was unfinished and just painted by the previous owner bc the back is unfinished as are the undersides of the shelves. no coating or seal on it either.
Get some Home Formby’s paint stripper, about $12 at Lowes’.
You apply it with a brush, let it sit for an hour or so, then use a spatula/paint scraper to scrape the residue off the wood, being careful not to gouge the wood in the process.
Don’t be impatient! let the stuff do its job!
If there is any molding or fancy wood carving with paint, a dental type pick may be necessary to get at the paint in the crevices.
If the wood is pine or other soft wood, then it won’t have a ‘grain’ worth saving and you should just paint the wood after a light sanding...............
It is raining off and on, so I’m working at home-drawing plans and typing bids for the concrete contractor, who does not like to draw plans for little jobs, but will pay me a few dollars to do it...
What a ridiculous whigmaleerie
Comey’s antics turned out to be-
He just turned into a court jester
Went along and Hillary went free
While Bill commandeered a plane
Set it next to one Loretta was in-
And did that godfather act so well
She obeyed just to save her skin...
Anyone who trusts Clinton lackeys
Drinks koolaid to dull every nerve
We’re tired of living in the misery
Only they voted for-and deserve...
