Comment STRIP and I'll send you the no-stink paint stripper that worked just as well as the heavy-duty stuff 💪 Make sure you're following me so the message comes through!
I honestly expected the heavy-duty stripper to win this test pretty easily.
Same paint. Same amount. Same wait time. Then I scraped them side by side.
And… basically a tie. 😂
That’s why I keep a lower-odor stripper in the garage now. If I can get the same result without making the whole garage smell like chemical warfare, I'm taking that option.
Comment STRIP and I'll send you the exact one I use. 🪵
And if stripping is the part of refinishing that makes you nervous, my 84-page furniture refinishing guide walks you through the whole process — what to strip, what not to strip, how to clean up residue, how to sand afterward, how to prep for paint or stain, and how to avoid the mistakes that cost you time and ruin the finish. It’s the guide I wish I had when I was learning. You can grab it from the link in my profile. ✨
