AceHoleInOne Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 The old timer who lived here before, rolled and brushed paint over stained and top coated doors. Needless to say, his surface prep was nothing. End result, the paint has let go! You may have seen me post many times to use a good stripper containing methylene chloride. Forget the Citristrip. Stop sanding your brains out. This goes down faster than a fat kid on a seesaw. No dust, no box of sanding disks, no wear and tear on a sander. Same thing holds true removing an old finish on furniture. Try it, you may thank yourself one day. Please read and understand the safety concerns. Don't use indoors, heavy duty rubber gloves and eye protection. -Ace- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I thought I had one of each of Goof Off's products, but have missed that one. I've been looking for something to get paint off of brick pavers, and nothing I have tried will do anything to it. We didn't get paint on them, but we've been working on that job for a good while, and I don't want anyone to think that we did it. So far, the only thing that has worked is an acetylene torch, but that gets a little scary close to wood. A propane torch only darkens the paint.

wdwerker Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I love it when the MSDS ( material safety data sheets) is so long and full of bright colors ! That usually means all the nasty chemicals that really work are present and ready for service ! It also means DO NOT IGNORE THE WARNINGS !!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long time friend, since boyhood, brought me a small desk that his dad used in his business to “fix up”. I can fix the mechanical repairs like drawer runners, etc. but have never stripped and refinished a piece. It’s definitely more of a family heirloom than an antique, which makes my task even more challenging. Wonder what happened to @AceHoleInOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
