What happens here
Begin the refinishing process by stripping the old paint from the wooden shelf unit. Apply a paint stripper, such as Kabosh, to the painted surfaces. Once the stripper has had time to work, use a paint scraper to remove the softened, bubbling paint and residue from the shelves and frame. Collect the removed paint and stripper in a disposable container, like a bucket.
Goal: Remove all existing paint from the wooden shelf
