Scrape Off Old Finish

What happens here

After the paint stripper has had sufficient time to work (as indicated by bubbling and lifting), use a plastic scraper to gently scrape away the softened layers of paint and finish. Work systematically across the surface, collecting the removed material. Be careful not to gouge the wood surface with the scraper. A brush can be used for intricate areas or to help remove residue.

Goal: Once the stripper has lifted the old paint, use a plastic scraper to carefully remove the softened layers from the table surface.
