There is only one, and that is Nitromors as others have said. If you use an old or cheap paintbrush and pour about half an inch into an old glass dish, not plastic it will melt, paint it onto the surface, do about 2 foot at a time, leave it for about ten minutes until it bubbles up. Use a flexible filling knife to strip it from the surface, It will probably take at least two goes, you must keep the blade clean. Put newspapers on the floor for the old paint to drop onto or you will do untold damage. When you have stripped the surface wash it off with walm water and washing up liquid, Scrub it with one of those long handle brushes your wife uses in the sink, throw it away after. Let it dry, a fine glass paper down and dust off with a cotton cloth.Wash off any that gets on your hands 'cause it burns.
I do this with furniture I strip for re-polishing.
Don't use any cheep paint remover they won't work.
Good luck!!!!!!!!

Best Paint Stripper For Wood
2016-10-04 06:18:32 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
I did the same work few weeks back. To make the matter worse, I didn't have a proper wood surface either. It is a wood finish wardrobe. Anyway, I used sand paper for the edge but decided to buy a power sander from Argos for 9.99 and used it.
It is amazing, works great and not much dust. End of the day, I finished the work in 2 days and felt much happier.

"Stripz" That's about the best I've found.....personally, I like to just use a regular power sander when I'm stripping wood to stain. You don't have to wait for anything to dry, and you don't have to worry about damaging the wood with chemicals. Hope this helps!

I use Zip-Strip. I apply it with a paint brush and let it sit for 20-30 minutes and then take it off with steel wool. Works great.

I did this very thing with my kitchen cabinets and it worked great. Get a similar shade of stain, apply it with a dry rag, wipe off. Repeat immediately til u get it blended with the surrounding surface.

As in a previous answer, Nitromors is good,just be careful to follow instructions.As for caustic soda,I would advise you to avoid it,it can be very dangerous

Strip eze -- gel stripper. Paint on, scrape off, sand. Naturally, try not to get it on you.

Sanding works best. Use a power sander with a coarse grit paper on it.
