3 AMAZING Chemical Strippers! Removing Paint from WOOD.

What happens here

Once the paint has visibly softened and bubbled, use carbide scrapers to carefully scrape away the loosened paint. Collect the removed paint and stripper residue in a bucket. For areas with multiple stubborn layers or intricate carvings, reapply the stripper and allow additional dwell time. Use rags to wipe down the surface as paint is removed, and avoid excessive scrubbing that could damage the wood. This is a messy, but crucial, part of the restoration process.

Goal: Mechanically remove softened paint layers and clean the surface.

so on we're just cruising right along and how's it going John Major no and it's been going pretty good it is well it's going it's a messy job these are the kind of projects we don't really enjoy doing yeah these are not they are messy they're not a lot of fun but weekly fun when you don't have a timeline we tested out we started off with the citrus myth it was working just a little bit too slow the other strippers worked a lot faster so we stuck with that and we're on the time crunch and I think John John has been he's been using the Jasco John really likes to Jasco it's been working really good I think probably out of all the strippers we've used here that one probably works the fastest maybe because it's the most caustic and the one that will kill you and thus if the center strip is more of an environmental friendly product but it's gonna go over this you know stripping right along here and then it's gonna be stained and Locker and or - we can't show you the stain and lacquer process we'll show you the final but it looks like at the end because we've been just called in to strip it because some other painters are more uncomfortable doing this process and so we took it on
