Stripping Paint Off Oak Cabinets

RE: Stripping Paint Off Oak Cabinets Post By giving up (Guest Post) (05/09/2006) I don't know about stripping paint off of oak but I am having a heck of a time stripping paint off of popular wood cabinets. The paint is about 25 years old and tuff. the routed areas are the hardest to deal with. any ideas? and where can i find this Circa 1850?

It's a gel so it stays on the surface unlike the thin strippers. Be sure to use it in a well ventilated area and wear a respirator. There are also some water-based strippers on the market but I haven't used them so I can't say how well they work. Good luck!! :) RE: Stripping Paint Off Oak Cabinets Post by PICO (137) | (04/06/2006) Contact Try a product called "Circa 1850" it is excellent. If you doors have any grooves or pattern, this will get right in there. No sanding just brush it on, let it sit then scrap off. Then you just wipe with water. Must be used in a well ventilated room, take your doors outside if you can. RE: Stripping Paint Off Oak Cabinets Post by shopping_addiction_woman (32) | (04/06/2006) Contact Try QRB I heard it works. You can buy it at Ace Hardware. Please let me know if it does work.
