@tyme Stripping the varnish and stain off of furniture… and paint too.

sending you gentle hugs, take care @Bow 💗

No need to be sorry @Bow

I'm curious about the stripping process, is that where all the paint and varnish bubbles up and then you scrape it off?

Is that with that hot thing? I somehow remember my parents doing it to remove wall paper when I was a kid.

Yes @Ru-bee I paint on a thick paste and wait 5-15mins and the paint and varnish kinda bubbles and then I scrape it off- that bit is kinda satisfying. It’s a bit of a process and it’s messy. I feel like I might be a bit sore tomorrow.
need to give it a wipe down tomorrow, a light sand and then it’s ready to paint.

@tyme no heat thing.

although the paint stripper paste stuff does burn when it gets on your skin. I hate working in gloves so just gotta be careful.

I never asked, what are you making @Bow ?

@tyme I’ve finished a kitchen table. I’m currently doing a tv unit. And then I’ve got 6 kitchen chairs, a coffee table, a hall table and a cupboard. Doing all that for us. But am enjoying it so might pick up cheap furniture from market place and do them up and sell them.

Will see how I go.

Wow!!! That's soooo cool! So is it like restoring old furniture! I wish I had your talent 🙂 I can't wait to see the photos! @Bow

That's so cool @Bow how'd you learn to do that?

I've always wanted to get into restoring and revamping furniture but it can be so intimidating!

Wonder when it will get easier
