What happens here

Before sanding, the existing finish on the wooden item must be removed. The video shows the application of a chemical stripper, specifically Caboche, to a small wooden shelf. This process effectively loosens and dissolves old paint, varnish, or stain, preparing the surface for subsequent sanding and refinishing. It's crucial to wear appropriate safety gear when handling chemical strippers.

Goal: Remove all previous layers of finish from the wood item.

Tools and materials

  • Brush or Applicator — Applying the chemical stripper evenly over the wooden surface
  • Chemical-Resistant Gloves — Protecting hands from direct contact with the chemical stripper
  • Caboche — Removing old paint, varnish, or stain from wood surfaces
  • Wooden item — The object being refinished

I stripped it with kebash, now I'm going to sand it. I'm going to clear, stain it, clear code it, and it's going to look pretty amazing when it's done.
