Sanding Attachment For Drill
Even after you go through the whole chemical removal process, there
may still be some spots of finish that refuse to come off. There are a
few ways to handle these spots. The following are some of those
alternatives.
Steel WoolSteel wool is the best way to
remove leftover spots from flat, round, and all easy-to-get-at areas.
Dip some medium-fine (O) steel wool in chemical paint remover, and try
to scrub the remaining finish off. If necessary, repeat the stripping
process with another application of the remover. Once the finish comes
loose, wash it off with water if it's a wash-away remover; rub it down
with turpentine or mineral spirits if the remover contains wax; or, if
the remover is neither washable nor waxed, rub it down with denatured
alcohol. When the wool becomes full of old finish, throw it away and use
a new piece.SandpaperIf steel wool doesn't completely
remove residual spots, try sandpaper, but be careful not to leave
depressions in the wood surface. You could use sandpaper throughout to
strip the finish off the furniture, but this is a time-consuming process
and one much more likely to damage the wood.Regardless of how
fine it is, sandpaper works by scratching the wood surface. The final
scratches are usually so tiny you can't see them when the wood is
refinished, but you should keep the scratching idea in mind; it will
prevent you from sanding too much.
