    Paint Remover/Stripper

    I have taken on a couple of projects this week one of them is rebuilding and refinishing a Antique Dresser. Unfortunately it has a couple of coats of paint on it and Sanding it down isn't a great option I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good paint remover, preferably a non-toxic kind.

    Using paint

    Hi all. I am in need of some help. Preferring natural wood, I do not normally use paint. However, client (the better half) demands it. I'm making some storage cabinets using southern yellow pine and need to paint them white. So far, I've sealed the wood, added two coats of primer (kilzs), and...

    polyurethane over acrylic paint?

    It is an oil-based acrylic that I just applied today. Can I top-coat it with an oil-based poly? It's still a little tacky now (painted it at ~3p). If it's dry tomorrow am I good to go? Or should I wait longer? Based on what I recall from Flexner I think I should be ok...but though I would...

    After ten years, the vinyl shutters have to be repainted or replaced. I've heard that there is a type of paint specifically formulated for vinyl. Has anyone heard of such a thing?

    Harpsichord Project Part 21 - PAINT (ugh!)

    Hi all, In the early days, I loved shiny harpsichords. While these instruments did eventually sell, it took a while for me to realize that they didn’t really look like harpsichords. Now, after looking at hundreds of instruments, I have a better idea, and appreciation, for how they should...

    Paint sprayers

    My wife wants me to spray some outdoor stuff and I don't believe my guns will pull off spraying latex. Any suggestions as to a gun which will work with a compressor? Sad part is, it may not get used much so I don't want to spend a fortune on one. MIke

    Milk paint vs. odorless latex

    I want to odor seal a piece of plain 1/2" plywood to go in the bottom of a blanket chest. It will be the sub-floor for a 3/4" aromatic cedar t&g liner. Can I use some of today's modern "odorless" latex primers or paints instead of milk paint? Would 1 coat of primer be sufficient for the edges...
