Black and Decker Mouse to remove old stuff. Use the heavy paper first and work your way to 220.
Shop vac and wipe down with sponge not towel. Then mask off well. Prep is everything. Use sponge brushes and Captain Varnish. Let dry for min 5 hours between coats. Between coats use the Mouse with 220. (Lightly). Vac and sponge too. You will have a beautiful finish and be very proud. When you see spots go light from time to tome, slap some on to male your next time less difficult. My 27 has the most beautiful bright work on the dock. Captains Varnish is cheap and some say go with the better stuff. Its easy to use, inexpensive and the color comes out beautiful every time. Remember; prep is everything.

This spring will be time to take care of some neglected outside bright work. First I need to strip the old stuff off. I need suggestions and recommendation of the best way (inexpensive, little manual labor, and tidy) to do it. I think removing the wood work is not an option. What is the magic solution?
