Topic: Answering Furniture Finish Removal Questions
Q. I am trying to strip shellac finish from 35-year-old doors and frames. I have used 3M Safest Stripper and Bix. Both worked about the same, but took a lot longer than I imagined it would. Is there a different product I can use?
A. The "safe" strippers take much longer to work than the traditional methylene chloride strippers. If time is short, then use a methylene chloride stripper such as Kleen Kut or Strypeeze®.
